Imported by European American Armory, the Italian Tanfoglio brand, most notably its Witness line, has long been equated with highly revered competition pistols, and have been in the hands of many world shooting champions. So imagine our surprise during the 2019 SHOT Show Industry Day at the Range when we were shown the first-ever 9 mm Tanfoglio striker-fired polymer pistol. The new gun was literally driven from the plane to the Nevada desert, where American Rifleman's Mark Keefe became the first to shoot the new pistol—so new it doesn't yet have a name. See it in action here.
