TANFOGLIOStock III is a beautiful gun. I've never heard about it before. Is it very reliable? It seems to be based on the CZ75 series. I wonder if they can take CZ 75 magazines?STI/Stacco owns the term 2011. But it's a modular gripped double stack 1911. The modular grip can make the 2011 style guns polymer-like?
You're running limited if it's single action?
No. No polymer 2011 styled guns as of now.
There is the IFG/Tanfoglio Stock III Polymer in single action only. I think that might be about the highest level of polymer like 2011. Otherwise you're looking at HK Expert/Elites. But those are not 2011.
Yeah, a 2011.I really like the Sig P320 XFIVE Legion one except for the fact that it is striker-fired. Is there a similar gun that is:
(a) 2011 styled and hammer fired
(b) with a polymer frame
(c) double stack magazines, and
(d) at a price range of <$1500?
I hope you have a good supply of Bic pen springs if you buy a Tanfo.TANFOGLIOStock III is a beautiful gun. I've never heard about it before. Is it very reliable? It seems to be based on the CZ75 series. I wonder if they can take CZ 75 magazines?
Tanfo's used to dominate USPSA and IPSC Production classes.The POLYMER (https://www.italianfirearmsgroup.com/tanfoglio/detail/stock-iii-p) is what we're talking, but in the Limited Pro (https://shop.italianfirearmsgroup.com/product/tanfoglio-limited-pro-polymer/)
Tanfoglio wins a lot of national/world stuff.
The POLYMER, if you read Brian Enos forum, is hard to work with because of spring placement.
If you aren't going to work on it, you don't want a Frankenstein cheap 2011 but want polymer...I think you're limited to checking into Stock III Polymer single action only (called the Limited Pro Polymer).
You know too, STI/Staccato is on generation 3 of mags. I know people like them, but that concerns me.

The 2011 doesn't have a stealer start with over insertion issues.
Just the whole Staccato thing me the wrong way that Tripp STI was such a major heck of a deal but now a 2011 "Staccato" has to be $2K for relatively the same thing, just different. Even that Dawson link makes you sit there and think...those are pretty much the exact same grip with just slight machine cut differences. Staccatos are not hand fit. While universes apart, you are approaching some lower end built guns at Staccato prices. Meh.
Bac can speak more to the DWX similar options. But in polymer, I don't think you're going to find anything but the platypus or a single action limited pro tanfoglio. Not the true "a 2011 is 3 parts" idea though.

I spend a fair amount of time on the 2011 subreddit. There are a number of people in the 2011 game now. The Girsan Witness 2311 imported by EAA, the new Tisas offerings, the MAC version of the Tisas, the LFA Apollo 11, and the Springfield Armory Prodigy. I believe all of these offer the 3 part design commonly associated with a 2011. Some have mixed reputations, and some are still quite new. The Stealth Arms Platypus is, I believe, all aluminum in the lower. I’m not really convinced that matters other than personal preference, and now they also offer a bull barrel version in addition to the bushing barrel. If I was looking at a new full-size 2011 style pistol, I would probably get a Platypus.
The Girsan needs serious trigger work right out of the box. It’s about 8lbs.
I’m not a fan of any Turkish pistol, but I’ll admit TISAS puts out some decent stuff. Girsan is garbage as far as I’m concerned.
That’s why I mentioned the mixed reviews. I wouldn’t get a Girsan. Besides the heavy trigger, I’ve seen a number of reviews of people having various functional issues with the pistol. The Tisas options look appealing, but they’re still new and I’d like to wait to see how they do. That said, I had a Springfield Prodigy that was made well after the initial release and that pistol had a lot of issues. So length of time in production isn’t a guarantee of quality. I have more confidence in Tisas.
I mentioned my stance on Turkish guns, but I’d also think TISAS would put out a better product than the Prodigy. Wasn’t impressed with the one I shot or the several I’ve handled. Not to mention that it’s loaded with cheap parts.
Yeah the QC on those is pretty shoddy. I would have dumped it also.
There are some guys who bought them, replaced the MIM and slicked them up a bit. Results are great, but at that point, why bother? Staccato is in the same price range once you put money into the Prodigy.
