“Tanfoglio — Stock series: A strong alternative to CZ, particularly the Stock 2/3. These are steel, hammer-fired competition pistols with a CZ-derived design philosophy.”
Tanfoglio is cited by most answers as a compelling alternative value in steel competition pistols.
“Tanfoglio Stock 2/3 — very capable all-steel DA/SA guns and a strong choice if you like that operating system. I'd put them behind CZ for an occasional shooter mainly because the CZ ecosystem and aftermarket are broader.”
