Finally got my hands on one of these unicorns. Only 40 ever made. They have been discontinued for nearly a decade. This one is from 2008. Hasn't been shot much.

Looking forward to getting to the range. Can't even find a YouTube video on one.

Any Pardini GT fans around here? :cool:

I am clueless with that firearm... But it's really cool! Do you have more info and history? Is it Italian (based on the usage of Inox)?

Yes they are Italian. They have been around since the 1990’s
 
When I went to the Pardini web page I was surprised the number of variations that they offer or offered in this model. In three calibers no less.
I couldn't tell if they were still offering them or not. :(

Yes, they are for sale right now.

Not the INOX, I'm talking the standard models. The INOX has long been discontinued.

Too pricey for the customers and too costly to build for the company.
 
very nice pistol were do find such guns I never see stuff like that in north east ohio
 
VERY Nice!
Isn't the INOX the one with the STEEL frame?

I love Pardini Armi! The GT45 caught my eye several times on and off over the years. The alloy (Ergal) frame (see PS) always gave me pause for concern. Maybe it's not such a big deal, though, as it has a ramped barrel and steel inserts kind of like a SIG P226.

The triggers on these are amazing and very adjustable. There is also a short reach replacement trigger available. The grip angle makes it very natural pointing. The grip frame is very fat, though.
Several Bullseye shooters use these, but remove the grips completely and just use "skateboard" tape in order to reduce the grip circumference.

I don't know about the 9mm, but the 45 is extremely accurate, capable of 1.5"-2" 10 shot groups @ 50 yds.
You might be able to outshoot that with a full-house custom 1911, but if the ergonomics of the Pardini work for you, combined with the trigger, it is VERY hard to beat.

Nice going!

PS: If you know the Jason Statham movie "The Transporter", one of the guys in the opening getaway scene has the standard GT9!

PS II: I found this about Ergal alloy:
Aluminum alloy with a high percentage of copper, zinc and magnesium. It can easily wrought with a good quality thanks to its hardness. Its shape stability is quite on average.

Main applications:
Structure parts where a high resistance, textile machinery, packing machinery, automation in general, automotive, aerospace and military industry

Yes the INOX is all stainless steel. Unfortunately Pardini made very few and only 9mm.

I’ve had a standard GT9 for almost 15 years and have thousands of rounds though it without a problem. Frame feels very robust, despite being aluminum.

I've had the privilege to shoot one;soooo smooth!I'd say it is like the Ferrari of handguns...exept I've never driven a Ferrari around a curve.
But smooth it was!
 
I would like to know IF you could consider to SELL it ???

HOW MUCH would it take ??? ;-)...

I couldn’t imagine selling it. It’s one of my most prized possessions. I can’t replace it
