TMFAKBFS Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi, I have a question for the guys who have an EGW slide stop in there Tanfoglios. Could you please show me what you did with the hole that stays open after you switched the original slide stop with the one from EGW ? Im considering to order one but dont have an idea what to do with the hole. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoHallak Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I did nothing with it. just left it open. Not much you can really do with it unless you want to weld it and machine it, re-chrome it. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 After breaking a few of the regular stops back in the 90's I got one of the EGW stops. Have had a hole on the side of mine since then. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnsyk Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I thought about making a small part to fill the hole for esthetics, but for function it doesn't matter. It might be hard to make a fill-in piece look good too. You could always weld it up and refinish I guess. I look at my guns as hammers.. they are tools. Nice tools, but still a tool. If you are a competitive shooter, a hard slide stop is a good idea. If you're a recreational shooter you don't need the hard slide pin and stay with whatever looks good.

LeoHallak Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have seen his guns, hammers honestly look better when you get done with them. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm not troubled by the hole. I consider it a heat-vent that cools the internal parts when I'm shooting really fast. Of course it does act as a wind-break when running down-range and the air gets trapped inside the gun therefore slowing my times down just a tad. I've learned to compensate for this by shooting more A's. But seriously, I did notice a slight bend in my original slide stop pin, so I'm happy with the EGW alternative.

ks-shooter Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 You can always put a piece of griptape over it! Perhaps even cut it out in an interesting design...like the shape of Texas or Yup, it bothers me too, but if you are worried about dirt getting in, griptape will stop it and it looks right at home. If someone should ask why you have griptape "there" just tell them it's for when you do your "weak hand inverted tactical draw " and that should dampen thier curiosity Enjoy the gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Elliott Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Think of it as a "lubrication port?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMFAKBFS Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) @ ks shooter : I really enjoy my limited. It's an awesome gun to shoot. After a couple of upgrades from Hennings shop it's even better It's shoots really flat with my recipe, 5.2 Gr N320 and a 180grain Berry bullet and that makes Major . I love it. See for yourself Tanfoglio Limited Custom .40S&W The only upgrades I still want are the EGW slide stop, ambidextrous Safety, and the fiber optic sight (made by a gunsmith over here).

Those of us who can't shoot, have to look good somehow!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastgun Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 HOLE? I have seven in my scull, one behind my ball.... and I function quite OK. As long as you not are going to marry it, why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good little video! If the fiber optic sight is like the Brazos MicroDot, I would love to get my hands on one. Who do I have to kill......I mean contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMFAKBFS Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Fiber is gonna be this one. Maybe you could go with these pictures to a gunsmith in your country and ask him to build you one ? A gunsmith over here (The Netherlands) can make almost everything. You must like such a guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
