Hello all--new here and I was hoping you all could fill in some blanks for me.
I have recently purchased a 9mm Tanarmi TA 90 made by Fratelli Tanfoglio S.p.A. and imported by Excam Inc. Hialeah, Fl. I think I am saying all of that right. The gun came with the box and two 15 shot clips, owners manual and everything. Even has the origonal price tag that says $430.00 on it. The back says 2-7-89 paid implying that is the date bought. I bought it from a gun store for $295.00 and it has hardly been shot. It is high tinsile nickel steel (that's what the box says). I seen the gun and was all like stainless, 15 round clips, external slide lock-decocker $295.00...can I see that please. So I picked up the gun and was totally impresed with the sturdy feel and smooth action. Didn't rattle or feel cheep in any way. So I bought it and start doing reserch with the home page for this gun maker and realize they make some pretty kick butt guns. I have found alittle information on the net but not alot. I have found more searching here but still not alot. I have not shot the gun yet. I know some of these old auto-loader are finiky about ammo. I got some corbon and some federal to try. Anyway I know nothing about Italin firarms (exept Berretta) any advise are comments about the new purchase would greatly be apreciated. Thanks ...CHAD
