They've now been moved to "clearance", so still available. I really don't need another one, but it sure is tempting.

Still $199.99.  Link Here.

Thanks!!!!

That is a great deal, ordered one tonight and having it shipped to my dealer.

Was going to look hard at a SAR 2000 for the metal frame variety, but this price point won out handily!

Keep looking for that SAR - no reason to not have both!

 ;D ;D ;D ;D  I agree!!!!   The only 2 drawbacks that this MAPP has are the lack of holster comparability with the B6 style pistol; and the fact that I cannot get night sights on the MAPP..... but I am not unhappy, just good with the purchase.   I have owned more than a few Tanfos, and this one should be no different.

Just had a thought, and that thought migrated into a question.....hopefully not a stupid one..... O0


Does the MAPP have a firing pin block like the B6?  ....as in does the "hammer down" make the firing pin contact the primer, or is there something there (within the trigger/slide mechanism) that removes that contact while the hammer down, and the trigger is not pulled?


My Tanfo days are a few river droplets past, and I am not recalling this tidbit of information.

Yes, the MAPP has the typical Tanfo firing pin block. It looks like a CZ, but works the opposite (drops instead of pushing up).

As for sights, contact RIA. I'm sure they can tell you what fits, or provide dimensions. I would think that the major sight suppliers would know as well. Mine came with a fixed rear sight. Right after I bought mine, I saw that they offered a model with an adjustable rear. They sent me an adjustable rear at no charge.

Firing pin block....as long as it is there: good.

The sights:  front is integral to the slide.... not much to do there.  Rear:  dovetails are what they are.

The reason I made my comment is for night sights.  I am addicted to night sights on my pistolas.....nothing more.
