One thing you'll notice if you shop EAA's Tanfoglio pistol line is more polymer, starting with the Polymer Match and the Polymer Match Pro. Built for competition, each pistol features a large polymer competition frame with optics-ready slides, a fully adjustable super sight, extended magazine release, extended safety and a standard hammer. The P Match Pro offers a SA/DA trigger and an integral accessory rail, while the P Match offers an SA trigger with over-travel stop along with a competition magazine well. Based on the Stock III, the two pistols also have a wider magwell for easier reloads. Additionally, EAA Polymer 1911 introduced two years ago is now available in Commander size.
