Tanfoglio European American Armory 9mm. (Now with Pics)

Post by avenger »

My mom gifted me a gun..i was pretty happy about it...makes for my 4th gun and my first hand gun.... Its made by an italian company called Tanfoglio and imported by EAA.They Call it the Witness. The Trigger/Hammer on it is Single action/Double action. So it will be really safe to store loaded with the safety on, because i can let the hammer down slow and it wont be cocked. It looks like a CZ-75, and is 9mm. a lot of people like them, and a lot of people in europe use them in matches. I really cant wait to shoot it tomorrow!!!! :vcool: :dance:

Heres the pics!

Smith Sight for the Mosin, and a lot of dry fire (assuming that is OK for your weapon) with the pistol.

The 9mm is one fun round to shoot is it not? :D

Congrats on the new gun and having fun with it!!

Thanks...And yeah i can dry fire it...The biggest i have shot is a 44 mag revolver at my uncles house..one time...i wasnt expecting 9mm to have as much puch as it has..but it does..and its a blast to shoot...wheres the fun without recoil? :vcool: I really like the DA/SA trigger and hammer on it..i can lower the hammer (very carefully of course) and use it as house gun with the safety on..and its really darn safe...Probably the best way to carry it in a few years as well...
