Chiappa has a new pistol?

[Wreck-n-Crew]

I have not heard anything about this new gun until I Found it on Bud's. It is a semi-auto Double stack pistol in 4 calibers...380, 9 mm,40, and 45acp. I am am only familiar with the Rhino which I happen to like. Anyone even seen one of these yet? The frame looks similar to a Sig or 3rd gen S&W a little and the slide design is similar to the Witness design. The whole look is familiar and I can't put my finger on it.... Tanfolglio? (brand)

Looks somewhat like a cross between a CZ and a SIG to me. Can't quite make out where it was made but looks like "Made In Turkey" on the left side of the frame.

Wow. I wonder if they could give it a higher bore axis.

I think that web page is messed up.

The MC27 and MC14 are basically the same gun - but the chart on that page also lists the M9 and 1911-45 which are definitely different pistols.

I think the pistol that you have pictured is only available in 9mm and 380 AUTO.

Could be...found on those two calibers on Buds. Did a search and If I recall correctly they came out in 2013...but needs some more research.

I agree they have a CZ look too. Believe the Witness/Tanfolglio and others are CZ clones right? (memory fading, kids crying, winter here, laid off..:banghead

The Tanfoglio Witness series has spawned several offspring. The Jericho/Baby Eagle from Israel is a Tanfoglio design which was originally made from Tanfoglio parts. A factory in Turkey is making, with Tanfoglio approval, a similar pistol in 9mm for the Turkish military. These Turkish guns with a couple of options for the civilian market have been offered by EAA. Looks like Chiappa has decided to put their brand on some of these guns, which hopefully will have the low prices that EAA offers them for.
