NRA News: Featured in this months American Rifleman...

The "Gold Team" pistol is the signature model of 1999, 2002, 2005 IPSC World Champion Eric Grauffel. Every "Gold Team" pistol is carefully hand built by Tanfoglio's master gunsmiths. Special features of the "Gold Team" are an 8 hole ported, match grade polygonal rifled barrel, 3 chamber compensator, lightened slide, single action trigger with over travel stop, square trigger guard, checkered front and back strap, extended beavertail, ambidextrous custom shop safety, hart hammer, custom shop magazine release, extend magazine well for speed reloading, and one piece aluminum grips. The full length dust cover frame is drilled and tapped to allow the use of various styles of optic mounts."

With a list price of about $1699, a real-world $1500 out the door, and sub 1 inch groups at 25 yards, the Rifleman review highly recommended this gun as an entry-level IPSC keeper. Calibers available are: 9mm Luger, .45 ACP, 40 S&W, and .38 Super.

For my money, it's one ugly as all hells pistol, but race guns ARE pretty grotesque once they've been tricked out to shoot the gonads from a fly at 50 paces.

This one just comes grotesque without effort.
