Tell me about Tanfoglio Combat pistol in 10mm

[saskgunowner101]

Anyone have one of these in 10mm?? Thoughts?? Pro's/ Con's? TIA

cons,...10mm ammo and/or brass. Pro's,...you can use .10mm mags in your tanfoglio .40 large frame. get the L in .40,..it is similiar in heritage to the Limited custom .40...so if you want you could "supe" it up with go-fast goodies. (magwells, grips, firing pins, etc..)

I noticed the sale. Not looking to supe it up, just to have as a basic beater in 10 mm.

Just buy one. My Tanfoglio 10mm should be here tomorrow.

Got mine today. f**king CP... Anyway the gun is pretty nice, well machined and everything is tight. DA trigger isn't the greatest but SA is good. The recoil spring is light. I'd guess 13-14 lbs. Way too low for the hot stuff. I ordered a recoil kit from Wolff, I won't be shooting the gun until I get a heavier spring in it. Overall I am happy with the gun.

pics? what model did you get?

 

[B]

4.5" bbl "Combat" model. Freedom's look black while mine looks matte stainless. I can take some pics but I am a s**tty photographer.

Pics...

What appear to be scratches in pic 3 are just dust flecks made visible by the flash.

Let me know how she runs once you've swapped out the recoil spring.

hmm that looks pretty cool! how much bigger is it than CZ75? is the grip much bigger?

 

[B]

It feels bigger but not much. I'll post a review when I get it out but Wolff said my stuff won't get shipped until next week. It may be a while. I might load some ammo closer to .40 S&W specs to get it out sooner. I am anxious to use it.

Tanfoglio's seem to like a slightly longer cartridge OAL

Love the 10mm, that will be my next one to own and play with.

How much longer? I load anywhere from 1.250-1.260 depending on bullet weight and powder charge.

On my .40, I will have to double check the cartridges tonight when i get home and get back to you.

 

[IM_Lugger]

i assume you didnt get it from freedom ventures, arms east?

 

[B]

Got it from Arms East. It was a little more $$ but it worked out for me pretty well. I didn't know Freedom had that sale, I don't browse the dealer section much. I am thinking of picking up another though...

I have the "L" model with a .40cal top end. Runs great. The D/A pull can be tamed with a lighter mainspring. I have over 5K of 9MM & 40 through the gun with no problems. I actually prefer the grip on the Tanfoglios over the CZ.

Take Care

Some reading for those of you considering a Tanfoglio 10mm. Wish I had seen this particular thread before I bought mine. All the reading I had done on the Witness line a year or so back pertained to their older style slide which apparently doesn't suffer from this problem. At least not nearly as much...
