I very recently bought an Armscor Mapp1 FS from PSA. Why? Because it was so darned cheap. I think it was $220. It's a version of the Tanfoglio Witness. Well I guess it's a clone of an older model Tanfoglio Witness which I guess is a CZ75 clone.
It appears the polymer frame is made in the Philippines and the slide is made by Tanfoglio in Italy and assembled in the Philippines. The one mag has Tanfoglio's emblem stamped on it.
Well the gun works pretty well. It does have a rather atrocious double action trigger. It's plenty smooth but very heavy. However it has a very nice single action trigger. The safety can be engaged hammer down, half cock or full cock. There is no decocker.
The sights are a square notch rear with 2 white dots and the front a low post also with a white dot. I had to adjust the rear sight a bit to the left to get POI centered. With my normal hold it shoots a few inches low (bulk CCI Blazer). There is no elevation adjustment. The front sight is part of the slide. The rear is drift adjustable with a locking screw. At 15 yards using my tractor as a rest and with my eyes I was getting about 3" after I had it zeroed.
It only came with one magazine and PSA didn't have any. They seem to be a bit rare. I found some at Armscor but they were expensive for an inexpensive gun. I eventually discovered that the Mecgar CZ75B (MGCZ7516B) fit and could be found for $20 several places. So I have the mags sorted out.
The mags work perfect. The only difference is the OEM has a plastic floor plate that's slightly thicker with a tiny bit of a finger rest. The Mecgar just has a flat steel bottom. I'll probably make some bumpers out of an old semi mud flap I've been cutting peices out of for years.
Anyhow it seems to be a fun gun. Maybe if I really take a liking to it I'll get one of the newer and fancier CZ75 type guns. This is my first experience with the type. It's been flawless so far but the round count isn't over 100 yet.
