 Friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at a Tanfolio Defiant Stock Master Full Size. Double action, single action pistol that is pretty amazing. Imported by IFG Italian firearms group out of Amarillo, Texas. And every time I've ever done a best of series or compilation, people say, where's the Tanfolio? If you don't have a Tanfolio, then this review is incomplete. And I'm not talking about the little seazy lookalikes. I'm talking about something like this right here. The full size models that is so well known in the competition world. Very prevalent. People love Tanfolio. And I never realized how much, or shall I say, why they love Tanfolio as much as they do until I took it to the range yesterday. I literally thought after just a couple of rounds, this gun shoots itself. It is so precise. You know, you ever align the sights and you pull the trigger and you say, well, I'm not sure that one hit. And all of a sudden ting, ting, ting. I mean, it was unbelievable. Right out of the case. No learning curve or anything. And it's a beautiful gun. Now, if you go with this, it's about 1,100 bucks, full steel frame, 4.75 inch barrel comes in a red case here, two 17 round magazines and a cleaning kit right here, which is a nice touch and a trigger lock. You could also use that lock to lock up the case if you decide that's the way you wanna go. But you know, it's just a beautiful looking and shooting handgun. Two 17 round mags. Already mentioned that a skeletonized slide right there to lighten it up. Quick action locks up very nice. A ambidextrous thumb safety, a bit extended there. Pretty common on competition guns. Just take a look at the grip, kind of a wood grain polymer. And we look at the texturing on the back strap and the front strap, it is really nice. Magazine release sticks out a bit, makes it nice and comfortable to drop that mag. It does have a rail there. Beefy dust cover. Right there, pretty beefy. Fully adjustable sights. They call this a super sight. Okay, you can adjust it any which way you want. And a fiber optic front sight. What a nice looking and shooting handgun. So impressed, I had to say. You know, it's been a while since I shot as well as I did with a handgun and this tanfolio just made me feel like I was cheating. Check out those rear serrations. I've never seen anything like that before. They're like these memory bumps that stick out a bit. But you do get a nice firm grip on the slide when charging and there are the lightning cuts right there. Beautiful handgun. Single action trigger pull I'm measuring right at. Four pounds, no over travel at all with the reset right there. It's a heavy gun. There's no doubt about that. But once again, I was just so impressed. I fully understand why so many people told me now that if you don't have a tanfolio in your best of group then it is incomplete. Measures up well with the CZ Shadow 2. All right, you can see here they're both in the same class. Double action, single action, all steel frames, fiber optic front sight. All right, and they're right around the same weight. We're going to get it on the scale shortly. But what a nice job tanfolio did with this. You can see right there it says defiant stock master. Now what they did with the stock master was take the frame of the stock three. All right, the tanfolio defiant stock three and the features of the stock two put it together in this pistol and made a tanfolio defiant stock master. It does have a 4.75 inch bull barrel, polygonal rifle and a good looking and shooting handgun. It disassembles much like a CZ, okay? Instead of having indentations or shall I say lines has a couple grooved out memory bumps right there. Actually they're not bumps, they are indentations. And you just find that sweet spot and push out the pin and off comes the slide. Check that out, full length frame rails. And here you have a all steel guide rod and a uncaptured spring. Check out that guide rod, kind of unique there. And it does have a bushing in here. This right here will pop out and there is the bushing. And then the barrel is removed from the muzzle end. And there you go, bull barrel. And that makes a difference. That actually cuts down on the recoil quite a bit. Actually I put a decent amount of rounds through this. Let me go ahead and clean it up and I'll come back and put it back together. All right, I'll go ahead and put this back together. The stock master is available, locking lugs there by the way, is available in 9, 40, 45 and 10 millimeter, all right? So the TANFOLIO has a large line, far greater than I even knew of. I was studying the brand quite a bit and I went with the stock master. My aging eyes can get this to fit in. There it is. Then all we have to do is put the pin back and then find that sweet spot. And there it is. Nice double action pull too. It is really nice. Let's go ahead and get on scale. We'll see what the, we'll put the mag in here. We'll see what the TANFOLIO defiant stock master's weighing in at two pounds, 13 ounces. We moved that just the ounces 45 even, but here we have 17 rounds of nine millimeter, 52 and an eighth ounce. Let's just do a quick comparison with the CZ Shadow 2, 54 ounces. So a little bit heavier with the Shadow 2, both in the same class. The Shadow 2 has a little bit longer of a barrel, but it is a nice handgun. I am like so pleased with it, honestly. So there it is, TANFOLIO defiant stock master. You can see on the grip right there it says TANFOLIO. I am so proud to add this to my ongoing quest to find the best full size, all metal frames, double action single action pistols under 1500 bucks. And this one is such a nice addition to it. I can't wait to put that compilation together. This is a lot of fun at the range. And I guarantee you'll be seeing more of this beauty in the future.
