kwelhand Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Does anyone know anything about this old Tanfoglio pistol in 9mm? I've searched the net but could not find any info about this particular model. What's the model name and why does it have target rear sight and extended barrel? A guy from my town is selling one, but he doesn't know anything about this pistol. What's the fair price for this pistol? the pistol appears to be in good condition but no box or extra mag.

haiedras Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 There's no manufacturer roll mark? Is it large or small frame magazine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a small frame gun... much like CZ-75. I will ask the guy about the roll marks but on the right side of the gun, it has 'Cal 9' mark and safety warning etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasthenk65 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 if in real good condition... why not... but a bit more buys you a new Stock I... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely right... I'm on the fence about getting Stock II in like new condition for $800. Obviously, this gun is cheaper but no way close to Stock II. Decision decision...

haiedras Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Well, kneelingatlas would know far better than me, but it's probably a Springfield P9? If you already have CZ 16-17 round magazines, they'll fit. I'd almost get it at $400 just to have another small frame in house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 $400 is fair, it's a standard small frame, not the competition frame, so no flared mag well, or fancy checkering, and it looks like the slide/frame have a slightly different finish. I have a few oddball slides with a fixed front sight and an adjustable rear like that. The non-threaded, extended barrel is a little unusual, but you could thread it and add a comp. I have lots of parts you could use for an Open build with that gun ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Looks exactly like my Witness Steel with an extended barrel and adjustable sights. Small frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yigal Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 this one have the same barrel l. with lim .slide yours have shorter slide with original barrel l. this not so old tan. version. i found this model under few names: springfield p-9 , tan. lim pro and bul storm (better and more modern version) all small frame versions . i think it's better than large frame. it's base gun .but very reliable . i think that new tan. s1 and s2 feels in hands better. will live more than any cz handgun .

yigal Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) one of mine friends in shooting club bought handgun like this used. from somebody that used it for ipsc practice few years but after cz shadow2 arrived and he tried it he bought 2 shadow2 after 10k with factory ammo first sh2 died. broke a frame after 10k the second broke frame in same place now we have in club 4 sh2 with broken frame. last only 1 that still work. it has 6k. all of them shoots very good but frames breaks before slide stops. (cz solved slide stop problem issue ) if somebody don't believe i can send by mail pic. of 4 broken sh2 frames and cracks. now he shoot only with this gun around 40k with same ammo and gun still like new with tight fit.

I bought this Witness Steel in 1999. That started my love affair with the Tanfo. I picked it up at a gun show and fell in love with the way it felt. It was $250. I have recently installed the extended mag release, safety and trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
