Anyone know this gun?

[TOPKICK]

This is a serious question.(unlike my previous posts Does anyone know anything about an Italian make by the name of Armi Fratellli Tanfoglio, model BTA90 in 9mm.
The gun looks, feels, and shoots good. I know nothing of its history or reputation. Any and all info(good or bad comments) will be greatly appreciated.

I have one of these in a Blue/Black finish. They also came in a matte nickle. I got it used in Southern CA in the mid - 80's for about $275 w/ 2 12-rnd mags.

It shoots reliably and would be a good CCW gun if it were a bit lighter ( like a Glock 19 ?). Mine shoot to point-of-aim at 15 Yds w/ WW Silvertips.


The gun does not have a firing pin blocking safety.

That is the Baby TA90, a compact version of the TA-90, from Excam, who is no longer in business. FIE imported a better version of the gun called the TZ-75 and by Springfield Armory as the P9. They are Italian made clones of the CZ-75. FIE has also gone under, but the gun is now being imported by EAA as the Witness and you should be able to get parts from them.
