Tanfoglio Compact (large frame) with rail?
« on: January 24, 2020, 11:45:32 PM »
Why did Tanfoglio and/or EAA discontinue the Compact model (steel) with the short Picatinny rail?
Does anybody know where I could get one (new or used) or just the frame?

EAA's website shows the Steel Large frame Compact models still available: http://eaacorp.com/guns/handguns/witness-steel-compact-1
No rail shown, though.

I much prefer my Steel Small Frame Mid-Size Tanfoglio/RIA/Armscor MAP1 to it, though.
Armscor no longer imports the Steel Small Frame Tanfoglio Pistols, for some reason.
I expect it's because the Market has gone Polymer Framed.
Glad I got mine when the getting was there.

Yes, I know that, but it does not answer my question. I want a LARGE FRAME steel Witness Compact WITH THE RAIL.
