Oops. You said slide, not mag. Sorry about that.
Thanks. Maybe someone else will know about the slide release.

Ok. I grabbed my SP-01 which as the extended slide release and popped it in the EA9B. It fit and functions.  Interestingly, the extended CZ slide release lever is maybe only 1/8" longer than the stock Tanfo lever. Any gains would be negligible.

Thank you, sir!

CZ75 rubber grips are  installed on mine now. Not a perfect fit around the edges but better than the hard plastic ones that came with it by a long shot. I wish we could get factory rubber grips for these. 

Also, the Fobus SG21 paddle holster will work for this pistol. It's ever so close to being a perfect fit.

I bought a set of old ugly TZ-75/TA-90 factory wood grips on eBay for $16 and refinished them. They turned out nicely.

Okay, so I picked this up yesterday and shot it right after.  The sku is 999111 and the box says EA9B as the model. 


I am planning on ordering one of these while they are still cheap.  I have a question though, has Tanfoglio changed the hardening process on the sear yet?  I mean, will I be able to do a trigger job/polish without fearing about losing the hardness of the sear?  I heard they used to only surface harden these parts.

  Well the video got me wanting one. I have the small frame P-S and think it's the best gun for the money to be had right now. When I started looking only Bud's had any and only for Bud's Team Members. I wasn't about to pay them $40 just for the privilege of buying a gun from them. I checked Classic Firearms and they were out of stock so I asked to be notified if they got any in.

  Wednesday morning I got an email from them and ordered one for $319.99 shipped. I came in at my local FFL this afternoon, super fast.  I cleaned it up and will take it out early Saturday morning.

I did the first 100 rounds early this morning and as a first outing I think I shoot this pistol as well if not better than anything I have. I have 38 other hand guns and for me I would put this one up against my Beretta M9 and APX, also my CZ75 BD. I'm really liking this one.
