Also known as: Pardini GT 9
Overview
The Pardini GT9 is an Italian semi-automatic competition pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum (offered in 9x21mm for markets where military calibers are restricted). Designed by former Olympic shooter Giampiero Pardini, it is a pure sport pistol built for practical and standard-division shooting disciplines. It uses a geometrical short-recoil locking system, a fully adjustable single-action trigger, a light-alloy frame with steel slide and barrel, a low bore axis and a 115-degree grip angle to keep muzzle rise minimal during rapid fire.
