THIS IS A SEMI-AUTOMATIC, LIMITED BLOWBACK, SINGLE ACTION, 6+1 SHOT, .25 CALIBER POCKET PISTOL WITH FIXED (PINNED) BARREL AND MANUAL SAFETY LEVER. IT SPORTS A BLACK ANODIZED ZINC "ZAMAK" FRAME AND ITALIAN MACHINED, HEXAVALENT (Cr6+) CHROME ELECTROPLATED SLIDE, TRIGGER AND ORIGINAL MAGAZINE. ALL PARTS (EXCEPT THE FRAME) WERE IMPORTED BETWEEN 1974-1978 BY EXCAM OF HIALEAH, FLORIDA, FROM THE FIREARMS MAKER TANFOGLIO GUISEPPE, WHICH WAS BASED IN GARDONE VAL TROMPIA, ITALY.  THE PISTOL UTILIZES A 2.5 INCH STEEL BARREL THAT HAS 6 LANDS AND GROOVES IN A RIGHT-HAND TWIST. IT INCORPORATES FACTORY PRODUCED IVORY-TONED "TARGA" CHECKERED PLASTIC GRIP PLATES AND INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL FACTORY BOX AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. NEW. OLD STOCK. NO CRACKS IN FRAME. UNLOADED WEIGHT IS 13 OUNCES.

THE TANFOGLIO GUISEPPE MODEL TARGA GT 27 2 TONE POCKET PISTOL WAS MANUFACTURED DURING A TIME WHEN THE 1968 GUN CONTROL ACT MADE IMPORTING THE FRAME OF THIS PISTOL TO THE USA ILLEGAL (WHICH IS STILL THE CASE). PRE-1968 VERSIONS OF THIS PISTOL INCORPORATED ITALIAN-MACHINED STEEL ALLOY FRAMES. THE FRAME OF THIS PISTOL WAS MADE IN THE USA AND THE ENTIRE PISTOL WAS ASSEMBLED BY EXCAM IN FLORIDA FOR DISTRIBUTION THROUGHOUT THE USA FROM ITALIAN IMPORTED STEEL PARTS AND USA-MADE ZINC FRAME. THIS MODEL CONTINUED TO BE SOLD IN THE USA UNTIL EXCAM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS IN LATE 1990. IT IS CONSIDERED A VERY ACCURATE POCKET PISTOL AT CLOSE RANGE BECAUSE OF THE FIXED (PINNED) BARREL. SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES OF EXCAM LATER WENT ON TO FORM EUROPEAN AMERICAN ARMORY (EAA). AND NOW YOU HAVE HAD YOUR DAILY LESSON ON A BIT OF AMERICAN FIREARMS HISTORY!
