Tanfoglio 380

Picked up this project yesterday. Got it cleaned up for a range test. Seems pretty solid , all parts do what they are supposed to do .

Nice pistol

So it shoots nicely!! Had to stretch the magazine spring a little. The sear occasionally does not catch on the trigger bar and you have to take the grip off to reset. When I take it back down to polish I will spend more time with the trigger bar to make that go away! When cleaning it before the range test I did not brake the trigger bar and trigger down to get it clean and it does not spring back into place every time!

Nice pistol

Thanks ! It cleaned up well and looks and feels nice in the hand. And it does not kick like a mule like my Taurus 380.

It is a nice looking little project, glad you got it running.

Thanks J ! It is cleaning up really nice! Will take some pics as I progress and share.

So starting to look really nice! Still need to get some new grip screws and work the trigger pitting some more. There was a nice little pistol hiding under all that grime.

Went to Big boys today and this gun is FTF nose up!! I have checked everything out and all seems right. I believe/hope it is the magazine with to much spring tension but I have nothing to compare it to . Ordered a new one today hopefully that is the problem as I have about run through everything else I can think of.

In my experience, mag problems are usually related to the lips not being properly shaped and/or gapped.

In any case, you should always disassemble unfamiliar mags and check for burrs, residue, and proper spring placement (I bought one new mag that had the spring reversed).

Luck.
