The Bad
The laser engraving on the side is on the piss something chronic.
The same person that did the engraving also machined the front sight, cos it's also completely on the piss, not even close to be squared or centered on the slide. So much so in fact that I'm about to get it machined off and a novak cut instead, as the rear sight drifted out of it's dovetail is beginning to annoy me.

cheers for that bluemonsta.

my 9mm Tanfoglio Combat is a bit of a fragile creature and choosy with the ammo — i broke the extractor on its second range visit with some Tula steel cased ammo, then had a squib on the very last round of factory ammo during another range visit — but it's grown on me.

i've read on overseas forums that Tanfoglio QC can be a bit random, and the last thing i want is a pistol that's going to want/need work straight after i get it.
