Pink, "ahh, no thanks". Purple, maybe. Black with sparkles -- no problem!
My shiny black Pavona with gold sparkles reminds me of a bowling ball finish.

Looks like one of the many Tanfoglio-made polymer-framed guns based on the CZ pattern (notice the slide INSIDE the frame rails.)
The ones I've seen (not one of the Pavonas) have been seemingly reasonable guns with reasonable triggers.

It's all good; I've been in a similar stupor recently.lee n. field said:
If the pistol were locked-breech, I would agree with you. However, it's not – it's unlocked-breech or blowback. The 9/.40 versions use tilting-barrel locked-breech operation.Apple a Day said:
Locked-breech .380 pistols tend to have sharp or "snappy" felt recoil characteristics, and they require a stiff recoil spring, which tends to result in high slide operating force. The latter often makes the pistol unfriendly to folks without strong hands, and the CZ-style slide-in-frame configuration compounds this issue because the slide grasping surface is limited.
Although it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, I own two pistols of nearly equivalent weight and size, one of which is a locked-breech tilting-barrel 9mm (M&P 9c), the other of which is an unlocked-breech fixed-barrel .380 (Beretta 84BB). My wife loves firing the M&P and has no trouble with the slide. She hates firing the Beretta and can barely work the slide without cocking the hammer first, and sometimes has trouble even then.
I can't figure out why Tanfoglio didn't simply rechamber the 9mm Pavona in .380, which would have resulted in an easier-to-operate and softer-shooting pistol, and presumably would have resulted in greater production economy because fewer .380-specific parts would be required.
