Hello I got this Tanfoglio TZ-75 Series 88 pistol & am wondering if this extractor will work in it, thanks for all information.

Well I did order a Wolf expower extractor spring & a Wolf standard 14 lb recoil spring, I will try this. The mag I got for this pistol is a Mec-gar mag 1 x EAA Witness-Tanfoglio (SF), Springfield P9 9mm 17 RD MGWIT9SFAFC (MGWIT9SFAFC). It ran fine the mag that came with it is messed up the follower is broke causing it to get stuck.

IF there is a ridge, below the extractor, to help guide the base of the Cartridge up into the Slide BoltFace, then YES.
IF NOT, then NO.

A lot of the older Extractors and the original Cz75 Extractors had a Dogleg in the Blade to help guide the Cartridge, being fed from the Magazine up into the Slide BoltFace.

There has been a lot of variations of Extractors, and which one you use will depend upon exactly how the Slide BoltFace is cut.

For example, my Full Size Series 88 TA90 uses the old Doglegged Extractor, where as my Series 88 TA90 uses the Extractor without the Dogleg and has a Ridge in the Slide BoltFace that is below the Extractor to help guide in the next Cartridge.

IF you need a Doglegged Extractor, a Cz75 Extractor can be adapted by drilling out the Retention pin hole to the proper size that Tanfoglio uses.

In order to replace the Extractor on my Full Size TA90, I used a Pre-B Cz75 Extractor.  Also, EAA may have the older Extractors in stock.

Also note that most Extraction issues are Extractor Spring related.  I usually get a Wolff Extra Power Extractor Spring and fit it by clipping off one coil and install it. 
Mild Polishing/honing the Extractor Retention Pin Hole can also help matters.  Note, DO NOT remove much metal there!.
A mild polish of the rearward Extractor Face can also help.
A mild bevel of the rearward Face of the Extractor Dogleg can also help

I did put a new Wolf extra power extractor spring in it & still had several stove pipes, ejection pattern is good then lacks. At times it looks like it's not going all the way back, the slide travel starts going forward to quickly, I did put a 14 Lb factory Wolf recoil spring in it. I've been told to use a 11-12 lb spring, any thoughts on this, I did order a Wolf 12 lb RP recoil spring to see if that helps

I think that you will be well served by the Factory Standard 14 lb Recoil Spring with standard velocity ammunition.  I would not use the 12 lb RP recoil spring unless using low powered target ammunition, otherwise Slide/Frame battering could occur.

What brand/kind of Ammunition are you using?  Tanfoglio Pistols are not normally Ammunition sensitive.

You are most Welcome!

The list you present is of good quality ammunition and should not present a problem feeding or shooting.

This is one of those cases where I would have to have a serious look at your Pistol to really know what's wrong with it.  ???  Sorry!  :(

So do  you know where I could send it into for a look see. Nothing that won't break the bank just want to restort the pistol to proper shooting specs. Thanks.

Unfortunately, no.  The last Gunsmith I knew who specialized in Tanfoglio Pistols has retired for largely medical reasons and I typically do my own work.

Try to find a local smith who is familiar with Cz/Tanfoglio Pistols and not just 1911's, Revolvers, and Glocks.

Yeah sadly I checked all my local gun smiths & most in my area really aren't familure with CZ's or their clones. I could do the work myself if I could locate the correct parts that's not a issues just finding the correct parts.
Thanks for the replies.

Give Brian At EFR a shout. He custom fit a sear cage to my AT84 that had a broken ejector.
