Hey folks while looking in my lgs I came across a Armi tang folio Giuseppe Brescia Italy. That's what it says on left side and mod gt 38c cal 9mm (380) on the right. Can anyone tell me if these are any good. I did a search but not much info. Thanks.

Not sure the specific, but Tangfolio is an Italian manufacturer usually from what I have and have seen that makes copies of other guns for much less than the original.

I have a .22 Tangfolio that is a copy of a PPK design. Now I do like the gun and it is actually pretty accurate, but their quality and thought into the design of the copy is not always the best.

So if it looks good in hand and they don't want a lot for it, it would be fine, but make no mistake that these are cheaper guns.

I'm not familiar with whatever the OP has there, but I have a Witness Elite Match and a Witness Compact that I consider to be excellent, Tanfoglio made pistols.

I have a witness full size .45acp, like it. Cost was very nice.

I have a Witness Elite Match 10 mm and it is great. Fit and finish is very good.
