Floydian Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Looks good.... what are you going to use for mags? We are limited to 10 round clips in OZ so I just use chromed factory mags with the laser cut.

Jeff686 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Beautiful! Except.... you're going to need a blast shield on that puppy. My V8 with aimpoint was filthy black after one stage, until I got a blast shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry shooterbenedetto, the trigger is a hand made one off. It is profiled off the factory original, you could get a gunsmith to do this in 7075 aluminium or titanium but I would wait for Hennings, it will be better. No show gun benedetto, this is my 8th Tanfoglio and will blast away until my retirement. Lee Edited November 1, 2008 by Floydian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Hepworth Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 nice. The magwell piece looks larger from the outside,..but I think it could be trimmed out a lot more. IMO. Other than thight I really like the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydian Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Edited to add....... So how does she shoot??? Thanks Neomet It shoots way faster than my shooting ability! Predictable dot jump at 165 PF, I will gradually ramp up the charge until it flattens out. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
