I'm sure a few of you have done this as well. A couple years ago I traded off a pistol, and I have been regreting it ever since.
The pistol in question was an older Tanfoglio from before EAA imported them. It was imported by Excam and was called the Tanfoglio TA-90 series 88. It was nicely blued and was just like the current Witnesses save for the safety on the slide and the shape of the hammer. I never could get used to the backwards safety on the slide (up to fire & down to safe), and I eventually traded it even though it was an awesome pistol in all reguards.
A couple weeks ago I was cruising a few of my favorite gun shops when I came across a similar Tanfoglio. This one was imported by F.I.E. and was also before EAA was in the picture. The difference besides it being chromed, was the F.I.E imported Tanfoglio series 88 had the correct safety on the frame, and allows for cocked and locked carry! It was in great shape and had nice slim wood grips, not to mention a fantastic SA trigger pull.
I quickly put 20% down to secure the pistol, and it took a couple weeks but it is now in my posssion.
I believe this worked out for the best, being that I like the safety and the hard chrome finish more on this pistol than the original one I had. I took it out and ran some rounds just to check function. Fed all rounds awesome, even my +p Gold Dots. It is sweet to shoot and plenty accurate, I also think she is a looker! Love this peice!
