Stock III

[01deuce]

I'm new to this forum and new to 10mm's. I have HK's and 1911's and decided to leave my 1911 shooting to 45acp and try another platform for 10mm.

So even though I couldn't find a lot about the stock III I ordered one from Bud's last week. Picked it up this morning and had a Henning guide rod and Wolff recoil springs waiting. I put in the guide rod and a 20lb spring.
I just got done putting 100 rounds of Sig 180gr fmj & 20 rounds of Buffalo bore 180gr jhp through it. It functioned flawlessly and recoil is nothing compared to what I was expecting. I do hate the front sight though. It's way to wide imo.

I now know it does have a polygonal barrel (which everyone might have already known but I saw some refer to it as conventional rifling)
2.1 lbs listed weight is actually
41oz gun and no mag
44.40oz gun and empty mag
52.90oz gun with 14 rounds in the mag
( just in case I'm not the only one that wanted to know the actual weights) and it launches brass to the next county !


I almost bought a limited, but opted for a stock III  mainly because it seemed a little different and not very common. I don't think it will be my last 10mm

01deuce, Welcome to the forum and the illustrious world of 10mm Firearms and Ammo!  Congrats on your procurement of the Stock III, the EAA Tanfoglio are great firearms for the 10mm platform.  That heavy rail will also help to slow muzzle rise with recoil.

Best regards and hope you enjoy the forum!

Congratulations!

Put a Henning narrow width fiber front. That full length dust cover with rail will make it an even better frame than a Match.

I like the look of that Stock III. If it shoots as nice as it looks, you'll have all the bullets in one ragged hole.

01deuce, very nice gun!

At the moment I am in search of a new gun with 6" barrel. Tanfoglio could be an option.
Just for comparison, could you please make a foto of a round in the barrel to see the chamber support?

Thanks!

welcome to the forum. I too am new here and to the 10mm. I recently bought a Witness full size steel 10mm. I love it! I'm sure you will really like your Stock III.

01deuce, thanks for the picture

Is there a big chamfer between the feeding ramp and the chamber, where the cartridge case is not supported?

[The_Shadow]

Bambam the EAA has great chamber support for the 10mm guns

I have two EAA 10mm's.  They have the best chamber support of any 10mm I have seen.  Some aftermarket barrels equal them, but nothing I have seen is better.

The_Shadow, sqlbullet, thanks for the fast answer.

Very nice indeed.  Congrats on a fine piece.  I'm sure it'll shoot as good as it looks.

That is one hell of a good looking pistol!!!!!! I wants one now

[01deuce]

I now have it set up how I want it for a carry gun.

Installed standard non-extended ambi- safety.
FO front sight
Henning grips
Hybrid leather/kydex IWB holster

I started using Underwood 165gr bonded gold dot. It has been very accurate for me.

Nice, I love the way you set it up too.
