Now this is downright sexy

Tanfoglio race gun - the tag was missing but I think it's the Gold team pistol. Whoa, did this feel like a purring kitten in the hand, ready to pounce!

What the hell is that, it's about as sexy a department store mannequin.

Buzzard Bait · January 26, 2015, 06:23 PM

Been a long time has it?

AustinTX · January 26, 2015, 06:27 PM

Yeah, that one doesn't do much for me at all.

But the Limited is on my medium-term to-buy list.

armoredman · January 26, 2015, 06:33 PM

The Limited was nice. Also got to play with that one.

Sexy is in the eye of the beholder, and I thought it looked pretty damn good and felt pretty damn good.

I can't believe someone would drill holes in a gun and install some kind of bracket to hold the TV remote or something.

WVsig · January 26, 2015, 07:28 PM

Not my cup of tea but if you like it that is all that matters.

jaytothekizzay · January 26, 2015, 07:34 PM

I think that is about as sexy as Rosie O'Donnell in a bikini

When i think of a sexy pistol, Im thinking about something more like this. ..

walks with gun · January 26, 2015, 07:46 PM

Now that's what a gun should look like.

PatientWolf · January 26, 2015, 07:48 PM

I'm not sure I have ever seen a sexier gun.

Oh and I'm addressing Jaytothekizzay with that statement.

Remove that hideous thingy on top and it's a decent looking piece, sort of.

Uncle Malice · January 26, 2015, 07:56 PM

Horrendous. But I also think BHP's are extremely ugly as well.

Whatever floats your boat, man ..... some people are into stinky feet ..... I don't understand that, either.

armoredman · January 27, 2015, 12:07 AM

Well, that went south quite handily.

dakota.potts · January 27, 2015, 12:10 AM

I like it, I just don't understand how you're supposed to rack the slide with the optics mount in the way...

jimbob86 · January 27, 2015, 12:18 AM

yeah, dakota, now that you mention it ...... TapRackBang at maximum speed looks...... problematic?

g.willikers · January 27, 2015, 10:09 AM

It can have a little gizmo installed in the rear sight dovetail that sticks out enough to do a slide rack with.
Oddly enough it's called, wait for it.... - a slide racker.
Talk about an apt name.

precision_shooter · January 27, 2015, 11:30 AM

To each his own I guess....

I know .... but for what one of those costs, it should not have to have optional equipement to make it work ...... hell, for what those cost, it should rack it's own slide and aim for you, too!

Mike38 · January 27, 2015, 05:07 PM

I kind-a sort-a like it.

g.willikers · January 27, 2015, 05:42 PM

It looks like it belongs in a movie with robots and flying saucers.
Open guns don't make a lot of sense.
They work best with powerful, high velocity ammo.
Then they reduce the muzzle flip and recoil a lot.
Seems like going in circles.
Might as well just use weaker ammo in a regular pistol for the same results.
Both methods make holes in cardboard and ring and knock down steel.
Guess I just don't get it.
Kind of like making grass grow better and then having to mow it more often.

Wreck-n-Crew · January 27, 2015, 05:52 PM

An elite match 10mm is all you need...well and some new grips (stock ones suck a little)with the Wonder finish?

Not fond of the Brushed/polished but it were matte/Bead blast..yeah I could do this one...

My radar has been pinging off of one of these so much I just may have to make it number two on my short list!
