Probably not. Just swap the parts out and have fun!

The match is truly the best bang for the buck.

The stock is similar to buying a Springfield Custom Shop or S&W Performance center gun.  Dimensionally it is the same as the standard full size.  It has a bull barrel rather than a standard barrel.

But, it gets a run through the Tanfoglio custom shop.  You are far less likely to have an issue with the Stock, it will be more accurate, more refined.

Hey..I didn't buy one either.  At the time I didn't have the budget for a $900 gun.  Plus, at the time you couldn't every find them.

But, I had to "tinker" a bit with my full-size before I was happy with it.  Didn't have to with my Match, and don't think I would with a stock either. 

While I agree the Match is a great value, I just don't see it filling certain roles very well.

I have ordered a new guide rod.20lb spring and buffer.
A extended safety would be nice...this one is a little small IMO...
Looks like another $60...ouch

The Match is only single action, which turns away a lot of buyers.

You can swap the trigger on the Match, but not many do. The Limited Pro is an excellent piece if you can swing it.

I must be the oddball I love sao guns.

Dave84

Me too. Plus the thing is huge. Probably wouldn't try and carry it. A great home defense and range gun. If you were to carry one of their guns I would invest in a Melonite or Gunkote job. The Blueing and wonder finish is too sensitive in my opinion.

+1 on SAO. I just don't see the hang up.

The Polymer P-Carry is the piece for toting around (DA/SA, rail, fixed sights). I also love their SA only versions!

When I was a military police officer we had to qualify with the 1911 and simulate an injury to our non shooting hand. Very few people could pull the hammer back on their 1911 while conducting intense shooting scenarios with only one hand, especially if it was a struggling with a suspect scenario. With the double action M9 Beretta, this wasn't an issue. In a perfect world, no problems would occur and you would have time to pull the hammer back. In an emergency where adrenaline is pumping and things happen so fast, just pulling the trigger can save your life.

sstewart

No but cocked & locked. You can't flick the safety off.
I guess it would be hard with out ambi

But why single out SAO. Striker fire is the same or worst. Nobody bad mouths glock m&p etc.

Striker fire works the same as double action, not single action. Pulling the trigger fires the gun from any condition as long as a round is in the chamber. Not so with single action.

I still haven't had the experience of a round failing to fire on the first strike and working on the second, I have always had to eject it.
