Picked up a 10 today

[AZXD]

After expecting a month or more of waiting ... I came home last night to a wonderful message ... Your gun has arrived

A Tanfoglio Witness Elite Match in 10mm now sits comfortably in the safe waiting for Saturday to arrive.



The streaks are from wiping it down. It is not scratched.

Very nice. I want a 10mm

Nice. The local gunshop/hunting store has one of those (not the "Match" model) and I want it. Fits my hand real nice the ergos are sweet. 450 bucks. If it wasn't here in NC where I had to ask permission from the Sheriff's department to get one it would be in my gunsafe right now. I might end up picking one up when I get home to Texas.

IIRC they are made by CZ aren't they? They have a frame and slide almost exactly like the CZs.

That price seems a little high, at least for Arizona.
This was $499 before taxes.

CZ ... Basically they are a clone with a few improvements, but I'm not sure exactly what is different.

I just gave it a good cleaning, and I am impressed!! The interior is almost as wmooth as the exterior.
I'll let you know how it shoots.

Wait. 450 is a little high for AZ although you paid 499? I'm confused.

The Match version is about $100 more than the standard.

There's a place within a mile of me that has a standard listed for $325

I paid a little more because it had to be ordered. If I could have located the Match version in a display case ... I'd have probably paid a little less than I did.

The Match is well worth the difference in price.

Specs:

• $229 for conversion kits for 9mm, .40, 38 Super , .45 and 10mm available
• Produced in the Tanfoglio Custom Shop
• Single action trigger kind of like a 1911. Very smooth out of box with pre and over travel adjustment screws.
• Really tight slide to frame fit.
• Fully adjustable Tanfoglio Super Sight on the rear. Interchangeable front sights with fiber optic available
• Stainless match grade polygonal 4.75" barrel
• Extended Safety
• Extended Mag Release
• Hart Shaped Hammer
• 15+1 capacity in .38S, .40 or 10mm (10+1 in .45 & 18+1 in 9mm)

I will tell you that this is a fine gun, a friend of mine purchased one and it was a pleasure to shoot. I liked the feel of it so much that I bought one in 40S&W since I am a 40 caliber nut. In my opinion the witness match is the most accurate pistol I have ever fired. I have fired remington, federal and winchester ammo in mine also several different handloads in mine and I still can't believe how fine this pistol is. My friend has done the same with his 10mm with the same outstanding results. I don't know what brand of ammo you will be shooting but my buddy bought some american eagle 10 mm by federal and had 2 cases to rupture and didn't even know it until he took them out of his tumbler to reload them. You may want to steer clear of this brand I know I am. I honestly believe that the witness is the secret of the gun world and if more people tried them they would be amazed. (no I dont work for EAA, I just like my witness match that much)

Actually, I picked up one box of what you just recommended I not get. Oh well ... I've got a Hornady progressive being delivered Monday and after I get the kinks worked out reloading some of the brass I've been collecting ... I'm gonna purchase 1000 10mm shells and go from there. I never actually intended to shoot manufactured ammo in the thing. But you know how it is with a new gun. I'm supposed to be meeting up with PackerfanXD on Saturday ... So I just said ... It's gonna go bang

Hopefully it's still there, if you're interested, I believe it was a 9mm.
It's a small place and I actually held it last friday. So they probably still have it.
