Same here. I've always thought Pardinis looked like they would be fantastic shooters, and they are easy on the eyes as well.

But I've never seen one out in the world.
 
Gorgeous pistols. I’m not familiar with them but I have a lot of learning to do re: gunmakers.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Super nice pistols, expecially the all stainless (inox) model.

I have one, a GT9-1 with the silver finish.
I made a review here some years ago with alot of pics and some informations: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/my-pardini-gt9-1-with-silver-finish.817994/

Very nice. I remember reading your review back then. I often think I should pick up a 6" GT9, as a shooter. Not sure if I want black or silver, but I'm leaning towards silver since I already have a black 5".

The problem with the INOX is that its extremely rare and also discontinued. Furthermore, basically nothing is compatible with the standard model. The slide and frame are obviously different. The barrel is different, the guide rod is totally different, the recoil spring is different, and the safety is different. Other parts, such as the trigger, sights, magazines, etc I believe are fully compatible, but still different. I don't know how many of these parts are still available from Pardini, so I won't shoot the INOX all that much. Not that I'd expect anything to go wrong with it, but still.

A 6" standard model would be a great addition for that reason and because I really love the design. I've got many thousands of rounds through my 5" black model.
 
Yeah I wouldn't put it number one, but its definitely high on my list.

Thanks bac1023.
IMHO it makes alot of sense to add an Ergal 7075 framed GT9-1, to be used as a range shooter, in your amazing collection.
For some reason I think the longer GT9-1 looks better in the silver/stainless configuration while I think the shorter GT9 looks better in black dress.

As you know I have some interesting italian gun magazine reviews on the Pardini GT Series of pistols but they are written in italian and I don't know if they could interest someone. Anyway there are alot of nice pics in these reviews to look at.

Imagine if a company renowned for making extremely high-end competition target pistols used in venues like the Olypmic games suddenly decided one morning that they were going to make a pistol for shooting IPSC.

That's basically the Pardini GT9 in a nutshell.

I've seen a Pardini GT45, once, at an NRA sanctioned bullseye pistol match. It definitely stood out on the line, as everyone else was shooting 1911 variants for the .45 course of fire. Neat gun, and it was being shot by a lawyer who rolled up to the line with a case full of Pardini guns that was worth more than the car I was driving at the time.

I always enjoy seeing the pictures, even though I can’t understand a word of it.

Pardini USA doesn’t have much in stock at the moment. They say they really can’t get much right now either.
 
BAC, I ALWAYS love your pictures and your guns wherever I see them posted.

All that said just once I want to see you post a curve ball. Something like here is my pristine Gen 3 Glock 17 or my brand new Yeet Cannon. :p.

Pure artistry in steel! The stainless steel model is Smokin' Hot! Thanks for sharing!

Please, see page 5 for the ammo performances from the 6'' barrel.

One note: my GT9-1 silver has the polygonal rifling.

Both of mine have grooved rifling, but they are both a good deal older than yours.

In another forum a guy said that Pardini states a twist rate of 1 twist every 450mm (17.72'') for conventional rifling barrels and 1 twist every 254mm (10'') for polygonal rifling ones.
