Hello bac1023, I think you and lifesizepotato influenced me in buying this pistol because of your opinion about it.
I once saw a 6 or so pages review of the all stainless steel (inox) Pardini GT9-1 on an italian gun magazine called Armi Magazine. It was a €3600 gun, twice the price of a new Pardini GT9-1 like mine. It had a golden trigger and some other different looking features. Superb pistol only available with a special customer order. I don't think they offer it anymore.
I’m glad you love the GT9. They are outstanding pistols.
Yes, the INOX has a gold plated trigger and some upgraded parts that are not compatible with the standard guns.
...and, no, they haven’t been offered in nearly a decade. Even when they were “offered”, it was a waiting list that I don’t believe was ever satisfied. Only 40 built.
