Tanfoglio Limited

The Limited is a thoroughbred sport model designed for the IPSC Standard division, while also serving occasional recreational sport shooters or for self-defense. The gun is offered in 9x19 Luger, .40 S.&W, .45 ACP, .38 Super and 10 mm Auto calibers. The design of the gun has been ergonomically optimized so that it is easy to handle even in stressful situations. The sights are adjustable Supersight type, resembling the Novak type in design. The sights are shaped so that the gun can be drawn and handled with minimal risk of snagging on clothing or vegetation, while allowing fast and easy target acquisition. The main structural material of the frame is high-strength steel. The grip panels are made of walnut. The grip itself is textured with scalloping at the front and quality 20 lpi checkering at the back, which greatly facilitates gripping with wet palms and control during shooting. The grip carries the heritage of the ČZ 75 in its genes and therefore offers excellent ergonomics, allowing a firm, secure hold and good control of recoil and muzzle rise during shooting. The frame optimizes a deep seating of the gun in the palm, resulting in a low bore axis above the axis of the shooting hand. The trigger guard has a pronounced undercut where it joins the grip, allowing the gun to sit even deeper in the palm. The prominent beavertail protects the back of the hand from the reciprocating slide, preventing possible injury, and also reduces muzzle rise. The frame does not extend all the way to the muzzle; it is of conventional length, which is one of the main distinguishing features compared with other sport models. The flared magazine well makes magazine changes easier. The gun is full size, with an overall length of 225 mm and a barrel length of 125 mm. The weight corresponds to the all-steel construction and size of the gun – 1200 grams. Its advantages are low muzzle rise and mild recoil, pleasant shooting behavior and a fast return to the sight picture during rapid fire. The high-capacity double-stack magazine holds 16 rounds in 9 mm, 12 rounds in .40 S&W, 10 rounds in .45 ACP, 17 rounds in .38 Super and 11 rounds in 10 mm Auto. The gun is supplied in a glossy chrome finish, which offers better resistance to wear, scratching and corrosion than a standard finish. The gun is made to the typically high quality with excellent machining and finishing, even of internal non-functional surfaces. The precise, high-quality thin-walled barrel with polygonal rifling by Lothar Walther is characterized by excellent accuracy and long service life, as confirmed by the test results below. The DA trigger with a short, smooth, grit-free travel and minimal overtravel, together with the excellent barrel, guarantee good shooting results even under stress and in the hands of a less experienced shooter. The trigger pull is up to 4500/2000 grams. The slide features the typical cocking serrations at the front and rear for easier racking. The single-sided thumb safety has an enlarged pad and a pronounced rest for the thumb of the dominant shooting hand for better support and control of muzzle rise. The magazine release also has an enlarged and raised button for easy intuitive operation even under stress. It is within easy reach, of excellent design and ergonomics, and can be operated without shifting the grip. All controls, including the trigger and the skeletonized hammer, are blackened, creating a distinctive aesthetic contrast with the chrome-plated silver body of the gun. The Limited is intended for all users who demand a quality, reliable gun with an extremely long service life, even in the extreme conditions of shooting sport events or in combat conditions. The gun will deliver maximum performance regardless of latitude, season, climate or how dirty the gun itself is. It is no coincidence that five-time world champion Eric Grauffel prefers Tanfoglio guns. Given its dimensions and weight, it is intended for shooters who prefer excellent shooting behavior over low weight. The all-steel construction provides a performance reserve, long-term service life and great durability. The gun is supplied in a case together with a spare chrome-plated magazine and a cleaning kit.
