To me, the best advice I can give anyone, is not to buy any Tanfo that you can not either lay hands on prior to sale or buy used from a seller you trust. Nice guns, marginal quality control, good luck with any warranty issues. I've had great luck with all of my Tanfos, like most here, difficulties with EAA Not good to see that IFG is less than wonderful. Maybe it's growing pains, maybe they don't want too deal with EAA distributed stuff. I hope it's the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be growing pains, they have been firearm importers for a while, just not Tanfo's. Also, the occasion I had to deal with them involved one of the guns they had imported. For what it is worth if I was going to buy new I would ask them for details about warranty beforehand, if anyone does it would be interesting to know what accuracy they will warrant. I searched the website and found a return form but did not find any warranty details on anything they import https://www.italianfirearmsgroup.com/tanfoglio/firearms/pistol-xtreme/ .

ATMester Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 “Delivery expected in April. MSRP TBA.” Regarding to Stock2 per IFG today. We gone from first quarter to April… I like my Stock2 but when the slide cracked EAA wanted $800 for a new slide ( under the lifetime warranty…lol) and now these guys blowing smoke. At this point a Stock2 is a <$2000 gun with the aftermarket firing control parts, grips etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard Witness issues especially in 10mm are long documented. Low power 9 and 40 having cracked slides is surprising. Expected that no one with a Tanfoglio from EAA has a warranty now.

zx9rt1 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 What do us Tanfo owners do for spare slides here in the states? I have the Eric Gold open pistol that’s getting close to 60k down range. Making me a bit nervous Are they trying to make me go back to CZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have added a rubber buffer under the screw. Assume you are running 40’s to do this. Think some of the CZ’s suffer with catastrophic failures too. Especially the race guns.

FYI - On January 26 I checked with IFG re: purchasing parts and this was their response: Right now, IFG is focused on getting the guns and associated products in the USA and in the marketplace. We intend to have slides and parts online later in the spring. Give us a call back in 60 days or so and we should be ready to get those type orders rolling.

MuayThaiJJ Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 "We’re getting closer to being ready for the Tanfoglio part stuff. For the meantime, more technical questions about your pistol should be directed at Tanfoglio specifically. They’ll be able to answer much quicker than we can. Thanks for the patience."

Endall Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Well EAA was very helpful on ordering some parts. Registering on their website was clunky. They rejected and cancelled the first two orders. The order process requires a Tanfoglio part number. This is kind of difficult, a real parts catalog used to be available, wish I had saved a copy. They also have quantity limits on some parts. I take this as positive. Maybe hoarding for warranty work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered parts twice, received them too. This year. Had no luck trying to s e what they have. Had to register, fill out completely with all shipping on registration. Then submit an order, form is one website. Then wait for a response. They will send an invoice for what they have. Some common parts are limited to quantity of one or two. Spoke to a nice lady there several times. Think she is on a tight leash. Will not give up much info. You would think that since they. No longer carry Tanfoglio they would be dumping parts. But will have limits. Had to order twice to get two trigger return springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcflury Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Had some issues with part availability warranty work and customer service with EAA in the earlier 2000's. I was always left to find work arounds for things I needed and used multiple forums and suppliers to fill the gaps. But still always nice to have another supplier. Sad to see the relationship go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catabol3 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) With EAA out of the picture, does anyone know if IFG will be picking up and carrying the Tanfo Witness Match Elite series pistols or the Hunter model?

I called IFG a few weeks ago to see if they stocked the “Match” which is basically the same as the “Witness Match Elite” as far as I can tell aside from the rear sight. They told me “we stock all of Tanfoglio’s models” and to check the IFG website. However if you compare the Tanfoglio Italy site to the IFG site, obviously at the moment IFG is not listing everything from Tanfo. I think over time they will but as of right now they are missing a few, including the Match and the Hunter, although they do list the Gold Match which is another 6” gun.
