Tanfoglio Upgrades

[Philinsocal]

I picked up a Tanfoglio Elite Match about two weeks ago. I like it a lot but do think it can be made better (for me). I am thinking of getting the Henning checkered grips to make the grip a bit thinner and the Henning Tanfoglio Match upgrade kit to reduce trigger pull. Do any of you have experience with Henning products? Are there better options?

I liked the couple Henning products I used. I would check out Patriot defense too

Thanks. That does look like a huge improvement.

I have a Stock 2 I use for USPSA shooting. I have used the Eric Grauffel grips which are slimmer (I'll sell them to you if want) but I ended up getting the LOK swell grips. They are better fitting for MY smaller hands.

I buy parts from Patriot Defense and the Ben Stoeger pro shop. Both have excellent service.

I did the trigger job myself and it feels good. Its really a simple design. Here is part 1 of a four part video on tuning your Tanfo. I did have Patriot Defense ream/throat the barrel for longer 9mm rounds I like to load.

One more vote for Patriot Defense. I shot Tanfoglio Stainless Elite Limited in USPSA Limited division until I switched to SVI earlier this year, and Patriot Defense was my go-to shop to get work done.

Henning is good to go with parts. I believe most of my internals came from them.

As for grips, I had Henning thin grips but found that I liked the scales better. These are skeletonized grips that provide very good gripping surface and are the shape and size that worked for me.

I had Patriot Defense do the "works" (tuning package, barrel reaming, bolo installation) on my Stock 2. I couldn't be happier.
I also went with their Palm Swell grips for my larger hands.

It was in early 2017 so I don't remember the exact time, but it wasn't long and it was what I would expect - a few weeks.

Both Tanfoglios and CZs can be finicky to work on so you need a gunsmith who knows them inside out and has enough spare parts around. I haven't used any others, so I cannot give you an opinion. Remember, a quality gunsmith will know whether he can or cannot do the job so if you trust the guy in general, you should be good to go based on his opinion.
