JWC.... the gun you illustrated is basically designed to appeal to the consumer who might be interested in buying a Glock 19... or a host of other guns in that size. Your mid sized Tanfoglio has a lot going for it... better trigger than a Glock, cheaper than a Glock and, maybe, slightly more accurate than a Glock. Those 3 factors alone should guarantee a lot of sales for this model.
However, the real negative for this and many of the budget priced Tanfoglios, is, if it doesn't hit to point of aim, especially elevation, you're somewhat screwed. I've owned a number of Tanfoglios that just shoot low. With the fixed front sight you're really stuck. I sure wish Tanfoglio would mill a slot in the slide for the front sight and sell interchangeable height front sight blades that could be easily swapped out.
The more expensive models do have the easily interchangeable front sights, and Dawson Precision makes good money selling different height front sights for those models (and many are fiber optic). How do we convince Massimo to make this feature available even on his small frame budget guns? (Then I could sell my Glock
Bottom line, I would buy one...... except for lack of that feature. End of rant, thanks for listening.
