About the Pardini GT45

The Pardini GT45 is an Italian single-action, semi-automatic competition pistol chambered in .45 ACP. A modified Browning-type, short-recoil-operated design built on a CNC-machined aluminum alloy frame with a steel slide, it was developed for IPSC and practical-shooting disciplines and proved accurate enough to also be marketed as a bullseye pistol. It feeds from a double-stack magazine and is noted for its crisp, fully adjustable single-action trigger and adjustable target sights.

Reviewers in the early 2000s called the GT 45 one of the most versatile new major-caliber pistol designs, equally suited to IPSC action shooting and precision bullseye competition.
