CZ SP-01 Alternative - Tanfoglio 'L" Model

[Freedom Ventures]

A lot of people are looking at the Tanfoglio Stock as the comparative gun with the CZ SP-01 for IPSC Production division.

That's not a proper comparison, as the Stock comes Hardchromed, with a bull barrel, polygonal rifling, melted in adjustable sights, and a couple of hard chromed magazines, a larger mag release, etc. It's a serious top of the line gun.

A better comparison would be the Tanfoglio "L" model. This gun has a suggested retail of $910. (Dealers can sell for less).

Barrel:121mm barrel, (SP01 is 112mm)

Weight: 1075 grams (SP-01 1085 grams)

Sight Radius: 175mm (SP-01 - 152mm)

Sights: Melted adjustable (SP-01 - Fixed)

Mag Release width: 8mm, and switchable for lefties (SP-01 - 7.3mm)

Safety: Extended - Rest your thumb on it and ride high like on a 1911 - allows better recoil control. (SP-01 - Not Extended)

Fiber Optic Sights: Optional - SRP $45.54 in stock in Canada (Optional - SP-01 - $30 US order from USA)

Magazines: SRP $33.77 Canadian (and Extension Basepads are legal in production) (SP-01 - Dealer price is more than this...)

IDPA USA Approved.

And of course, pictures:

Ok, two questions:

a) how's the trigger reset on the Stock compared to the CZ (I'm guessing the trigger mechanism on the SP01 is the same as on my 85C, so that's my yard stick) or the Glock (another one I have and know)?

b) mags - are they build to be 10 rounders, and are a ##### to lock in when full (like the Glock factory 10 rounders, for example) or are they higher capacity, just blocked to something like 10.5 rounds, and slide in nice and ease (or something in the middle, haha)?

Thanks

How much does hardchroming add to the cost ?

Hardchrome - SRP $180 Not stocked now, (can be ordered) but like the Edges, if it becomes a popular option, I will stock it.

I had to return the CZ I was working on yesterday to the customer, so my guinea pig is gone. The only Glock I have here is heavily modified - but I'll get a standard one later today and do some measurements and add them here later. Pics are below.

10 rounders are on the way. Tanfoglio has assured me they are easy to insert with a full 10 rounds - I specifically asked this. I have also seen 10 rounders for the Eric Grauffel gun and they are done perfectly.
Right now, I'm selling pinned full capacity mags which are at 10.5, but it's a PITA for me to pin them, so once they are gone, it's all 10 rounders.

And the pics (Including the Fiber Optic you asked for...)

thanks! re trigger reset, what I was hoping for was an estimate of how far the trigger has to go, from the rear-most position, to 'reset'.... Hey, if you can measure that, great, if not, relative to one of the other guns(like the G17) would be great... Thanks again.

Gotcha - Trigger reset in SA mode is 3.5 mm. The glock 17 that I measured is 2.3mm.

Sean will CZ 75 mags work in these guns? Will place an order towards the end of the month.

Take Care

Yes, CZ-75 mags work in Tanfoglios.
