I like the Longslide and FA Rear Sights
And the Thumb Safety is Very Nice on that one

My Longslide will shoot 2" Groups at 50yrds
Not super great, but I'll take it

This one was cheaper than the other place that wouldn't sell to MD.  8)

  It also has the better combo lock case pictured rather than the cheap plastic ones I have seen lately. $100 cheaper than the place that wouldn't sell to me  :P 8)

It's beautiful, how could you not like it. Before I got my G20 I almost went EAA, love the look and might get one someday. Great buy.

That's true! What's not to like  ;D

It's certainly got a nice look to it.  I'll be curious to hear how you feel it compares to your Elite once you get some range time with it.

My question  is, why the lack of imports.
Title: Re: Well I didn't think I would win
Post by: Intercooler on June 23 2013 04:43:46 PM MDT
From EAA or in general?

I found a place that is doing an 8 day release :o  Hopefully do the paperwork this weekend and pick it up in 2 weeks.

The owner of this the selling shop is a big 10mm fan! He talked to me a long time about his 6 Bren Tens and Dan Wesson C-Bob which is his EDC. The issue date on this Witness piece is 6/13 so fresh off the boat. Also at least this model has went back to the combo case but a darker Grey.

The freshness aspect is always nice, like frosting on a cake.

Very nice looking gun.  Really looking forward to hearing how it shoots.

And glad you found a faster way to get it through your local hoops.

I think the Walnut grips work on this one. Felt great in the hand like all Tanfoglios. I was hoping the trigger would be much better than the 1006 and it is! I will do some pulls on it when I grab it 7/12.

It has the flat K10 mag. I do believe they are Mecgar because no marking on the bottom. The other K10 magazines with a slant bottom would/should say Tanfoglio.

Lovely gun.  Especially love the squared trigger guard.  Old School!

Sweet!  ;D

I agree. Thanks!

    Something about those Tangfoglio pieces I just love! This one may move up to the favorite over the Match  based on what I saw and felt. I plan on doing some tests of triggers and bet the SA on this one is where the Match is now after all the use in SA. It's about 2-3lbs SA where it took some time for the Match to settle there. Supposedly this one has a straight cut barrel too, so another test is to do velocity of Underwood 1300 with both to see how much they vary. I want to put a light in both and try to decipher the difference while taking some pictures (although you could have a Polygonal in this one).
    Other than the 1006 being what it is this one may kind of obsolete it to not much use!  :o

   Just ordered a flat bottom, cone rod and 20lb spring from Henning. What do you guys think about putting some water or oil Poly on those Walnut panels?

   Received a Dawson Fiber front for this one today. Can't wait to fit it up with all this stuff.

Shot the 1006 today and although the trigger is pretty nasty it is just one of those you can't let go of  ;D

Very Nice
Wish my Longslide was that length

10 more days. Any thoughts on applying Poly to the grips? Good or bad?

Can you get rubber grips for that.Save the Walnut ones in case you sell.
Title: Re: Well I didn't think I would win
Post by: Intercooler on July 02 2013 12:36:51 PM MDT
I don't recall any rubber pieces.

Rubber grips lick on the steel.

Henning pieces are here for it. Hopefully this and the Dawson fiber front sight is all it will ever need.
