Same here. I've always thought Pardinis looked like they would be fantastic shooters, and they are easy on the eyes as well.Never seen one in the flesh, but I always enjoy pics of your exotic pistols!
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".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/
LifeSizePotato does. It's #1 at the end of his famous video:Who else loves these guns?.
Thanks bac1023.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.
I know nothing about these. Except now I know they're hawt!
Any thing to add?
I always enjoy seeing the pictures, even though I can’t understand a word of it.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.
Thanksbc1023
Pure artistry in steel! The stainless steel model is Smokin' Hot! Thanks for sharing!
Some great pics of the old PC9.
Both of mine have grooved rifling, but they are both a good deal older than yours.Please, see page 5 for the ammo performances from the 6'' barrel.
One note: my GT9-1 silver has the polygonal rifling.
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.Both of mine have grooved rifling, but they are both a good deal older than yours.
