Interesting, never seen these before. Looks like a fine target pistol.

Italian gun laws are complicated and perverse.

In Italy weapons are divided into a series of categories and there are limitations in the number that can be owned according to the type of the weapon. Each weapon model that you want to sell in Italy is classified. Here are some of the limitations: "defense" guns: maximum number of 3 (in my case Walther P99 AS, SIG-Sauer P226 and S&W 36); "sport" guns: maximum number of 12 (in my case Pardini GT9-1, Grand Power Q100, Weihrauch Target Trophy and Norinco Olympia); "hunting" shotguns: no number limit; "hunting" rifles: no number limit; pistol/revolver ammo: max 200 in the house; shotguns/rifles ammo: max 1500 in the house. These are the basic rules, more or less.

I forgot to mention that the hold open lever, the disassembly lever and the locking block-trigger-trigger bar assembly can be removed from the frame without tools. The whole hammer assembly can be separated from the frame once the grips are removed. The grips hold two small retaining pins in place.

Very nice indeed
Here's my GT-9. They are outstanding shooters... Believe it or not, I've got a Pardini GT-9 INOX on the way shortly. In fact, its the 6" variety. According to Pardini, they made a total of 40 INOX pistols. Not sure how many of those are 6", but likely less than half. The INOX was offered with a 5" or 6" barrel. A true unicorn for sure. I've never even seen one in person before. Last edited by bac1023; April 25, 2020 at 03:26 PM. |

They are reported very fine.
What does you shoot at with one in Italy? Is not ISSF Centerfire dominated by .32s? I have seen two recent posts by shooters in Europe trying to get 1911s to suit them, even though both had Pardinis. I am a staunch 1911 shooter but I do not think I would have settled on the type if out of the USA. Is the grip angle easy to get used to? I am not comfortable with Glock or Luger after 50 years with Colt and Smith. |

I really enjoy the Pardini’s grip angle, Jim
Helps keep my hands high and the bore axis low. Makes it a natural pointer for me. |

What is INOX?
I thought it was just Beretta's silver finish. Is it a register finish or just a way to describe any silver finish? Thanks! |

The 9x21 is a loophole cartridge.
In Italy, 9x21 is a "non-military" equivalent of 9mm P legal for private ownership. At one time in the USA 9x21 was a way to shoot 9mm Major in IPSC while 9mm P Major was considered a dangerous overload and not allowed. Still an overload but not banned by rule. I recall watching a guy replace the broken slide stop in his overloaded 9x21 CZ. He didn't even bother with a real slide stop lever, just a straight pin to cam the barrel. He wasn't going to shoot the gun dry anyhow. Substantially obsoleted by 2011 high capacity 38 Supers, then really knocked out by a reduction in Major power factor and allowing of 9mm P Major. |

I once saw a 6 or so pages review of the all stainless steel (inox) Pardini GT9-1 on an italian gun magazine called Armi Magazine. It was a €3600 gun, twice the price of a new Pardini GT9-1 like mine. It had a golden trigger and some other different looking features. Superb pistol only available with a special customer order. I don't think they offer it anymore. Back to my Pardini, this gun has never let me down. It's an outstanding shooter, a well made italian design piece, totally reliable, soft shooter, nice conversational pistol. To answer Jim Watson questions: when shooting one hand the grip angle is totally natural while shooting two handed I have to rotate my wrists a little. Not much difference to me from a Glock 17: more or less the same sensation in my case. I don't compete with this gun and I don't know if it can be used for competition: maybe bullseye or pin bowling or steel challenge, I really don't know. In my case it's a recreational range only piece.

Yes, the INOX has a gold plated trigger and some upgraded parts that are not compatible with the standard guns. ...and, no, they haven’t been offered in nearly a decade. Even when they were “offered”, it was a waiting list that I don’t believe was ever satisfied. Only 40 built. |

Thanks bac1023.
I've found the italian magazine Armi Magazine where the GT9-1 INOX was reviewed. I have the magazine in my hands and I'll try to post some pics of the pages tomorrow.

I can anticipate that the serial number of the reviewed gun was IAR10010; I think the first letter "I" stands for "INOX". I don't know why it starts with "1" after "IAR".
My regular Pardini has the serial number AR00240 which is a "third generation" serial number; "first generation" serial number was E00XXX, "second generation" was K00XXX.
