Glad to be here

Hello, my name is Mgderf.

I'm an old, white, conservative, who believes in the 2nd amendment.

I know, 4 strikes against me already...

I'm not new to firearms.

Hunting small game since I was 12.

Spent 4years during the cold war playing the role of a Jar-Head, Devil-Dog, Leatherneck...whatever.

One of Uncle Sam's misguided children.

I spent time in Puerto Rico and Iceland, as well as all over the states.

 

I recently acquired a Tanfoglio Witness in 10mm in an auction.

I actually don't have possession yet, but have some questions.

 

This was an estate sale and the pistol was sold without a magazine.

I have seen online a statement to the effect that all 10mm Witnesses are considered large frames, but I have no idea what model this is.

I know it has a 4-1/2" barrel, and a blued finish.

 

Is there a site available to search the serial number on my Tanfoglio to find out more about it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi!

Post this question in the Tanfoglio section so someone will see it that knows a thing or two.  Pictures will help as well.

That worked.

10mm Blue CarryComp 

Import date 7-02-2001

 

That means I won it at auction 21 years to the DAY after it was imported.

That's interesting..

Oh well, now I have the information I need to get the proper magazine.

Thanks for the help.

Btw-Does that Comp mean compact?

It has a 4-1/2" barrel.

Not really what I would consider compact.

Thank you for the lookup.
