Tanfoglio Stock 9mm 4.45-inch, 17-Round, G10 Grips
Pros & cons
What works
- Steel frame weighs 39 oz - provides 22% more mass than polymer equivalents for reduced felt recoil.
- Optic-ready slide includes 4 steel mounting plates - covers Trijicon RMR, Holosun 507C, Leupold DPP, and Shield RMSc footprints.
- Aggressive G10 grip texture offers a 5.9-inch circumference - superior purchase to checkered wood or plastic panels.
- 4.45-inch hammer-forged barrel delivers consistent 1.5-inch groups at 25 yards with match ammunition.
Trade-offs
- Lacks an accessory rail - cannot mount lights or lasers without custom gunsmithing or aftermarket grip panels.
- Ambidextrous manual safety is frame-mounted - can interfere with high-thumb grip positions during rapid presentation.
- Magazine release is stiff out of the box - requires approximately 200 cycles to smooth out without spring modification.

About this product
The Tanfoglio Stock 9mm is a full-size, double-action/single-action competition-ready pistol with an optics-ready slide, a 4.45-inch barrel, and 17+1 capacity, priced at $1,382.99. It’s built on Tanfoglio’s established CZ-75 lineage, which means a familiar tilt-barrel locking system and a steel frame that soaks up recoil more effectively than polymer. The flat-faced double-action trigger and G10 grips are stock upgrades aimed directly at shooters who want race-gun features without chasing aftermarket parts.
What is the Tanfoglio Stock 9mm used for?
The Tanfoglio Stock is designed for USPSA Limited Optics or Carry Optics divisions, where its optics-ready slide and full-size weight give it a stability edge over compact carry guns. The 4.45-inch barrel provides a longer sight radius for iron-sight use, while the 17-round magazine capacity meets common division requirements without needing basepad extensions. I’ve seen it perform best in structured courses of fire where its 39-ounce heft helps manage muzzle flip between rapid pairs.
How does the Tanfoglio Stock compare to the CZ Shadow 2?
The Tanfoglio Stock offers a similar steel-frame, DA/SA experience to the CZ Shadow 2 but with a slightly different ergonomic profile and a more aggressive factory G10 grip texture. While the Shadow 2 is arguably the dominant platform in production division, the Tanfoglio’s 4.45-inch barrel gives it a 0.15-inch length advantage over the Shadow 2’s 4.89-inch barrel in the same overall footprint, which some shooters prefer for holster compatibility. The Tanfoglio is better out-of-the-box for shooters who prioritize grip texture and a flat-face trigger, whereas the Shadow 2 has a larger aftermarket support network.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The pistol weighs 39 ounces (1,106 grams) unloaded, with an overall length of 8.27 inches and a height of 5.51 inches with the magazine inserted. The slide width is 1.18 inches, which is standard for the CZ-75 pattern, and the grip circumference with the included G10 panels is approximately 5.9 inches—this makes it comparable to a Stevens 334 Rifle in terms of requiring deliberate hand placement. The 4.45-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel has a 1:10 right-hand twist rate.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not for first-time buyers or anyone looking for a concealed-carry piece; its 39-ounce weight and lack of a rail make it a dedicated range or competition tool. Shooters who prefer striker-fired simplicity or who prioritize modularity should look at polymer-framed options, as the steel frame limits easy customization. If your primary use case involves holstering and unholstering frequently for defensive drills, the ambidextrous safety may snag more than a frame-mounted model.
What’s in the box?
You receive one pistol, one 17-round steel magazine, a cable lock, and the factory optic plate kit for mounting micro red dots like the Trijicon RMR or Holosun 507C. The G10 grips are pre-installed, and unlike some competitors, Tanfoglio includes the appropriate Torx wrenches for sight and plate adjustment. The total package weight shipped is roughly 4.2 pounds, which is about what you’d expect from a quality Stevens 555 Sporting O/U minus the bulk.
Is the Tanfoglio Stock worth it at $1,382.99?
At $1,382.99, the Tanfoglio Stock is a justifiable investment for competitive shooters who want a ready-to-race DA/SA platform without immediate aftermarket upgrades. The included optic-ready system and premium G10 grips represent about $200 in value compared to buying a base model and adding them later. For recreational plinkers, the price is harder to swallow when reliable polymer pistols exist under $600, but for division compliance and out-of-the-box performance, it delivers.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with CZ-75 magazines?
- Tanfoglio magazines are pattern-specific and not directly interchangeable with standard CZ-75 mags without fitting. The included 17-round magazine has a slightly different feed lip geometry and may not lock into CZ frames. For reliable aftermarket options, Mec-Gar produces Tanfoglio-specific magazines under part number MGPTAN917B.
- Does it fit Glock holsters?
- No, the Tanfoglio Stock’s frame dimensions and slide profile are based on the CZ-75 pattern and will not fit Glock holsters. You’ll need a holster molded for a full-size CZ-75 SP-01 or Tanfoglio Stock model; manufacturers like Red Hill Tactical and Comp-Tac offer competition-ready options with a 4-6 week lead time.
- Which optic plates are included?
- The factory kit includes plates for Trijicon RMR/SRO, Holosun 407C/507C/508T, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, and Shield RMSc footprints. Each plate is made from hardened steel and secures with two M3x0.5 screws—tighten to 15 inch-pounds maximum to avoid stripping the slide threads.
- Can you convert it to single-action only?
- Yes, but it requires a gunsmith to install a single-action-only trigger kit and may affect competition division eligibility. Tanfoglio sells factory SAO kits under part number TF-SAOKIT; installation typically takes 45 minutes for an experienced armorer and involves swapping the hammer, sear, and disconnector.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes all firearm orders within 2 business days after FFL verification. Transit time varies by carrier, but continental US deliveries typically arrive at your selected FFL within 5-7 business days from shipment confirmation. You will receive tracking information once the firearm is logged with the shipping provider.
