140mm Tanfoglio “K-Type”
Friends of ours that shoot Tanfoglios practically begged us to bring out an improved magazine extension for the large-frame Tanfoglio “K-type” magazine.
The “K-type” differs from the regular magazine in that it has a spacer crimped into place to reduce the magazine’s overall length (and thus better match the 9mm and .40 S&W’s overall length). These mags are also slightly longer, making most of the existing floorplates TOO LONG TO BE LEGAL for USPSA/IPSC competition.
We’re using the “Gallion post” retention system on this floorplate, as it seems to fit the design of the pistol better than our standard “Fort Knox” locking plate. The design is a simple improvement of an older one, making it much easier to remove, and much easier to know that it’s properly locked in place. We’ve got a handful out on the USPSA circuit now.
