nalioth 405 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Howdy Anyone know the deal with these pistols? They're supposedly the product of a deal between Armscor and Tangfolio due to Armscor manufacturing some of the Tangfolio components. They are sold here in the USA under the Rock Island Armory name. These are direct copies of the Tangfolio Witness P. Does anyone have any experience with these? Heard about them? Durability, etc? I've been jonesin' for a CZ-75 polymer P-01, but I'm not stuck on a name if this thing is just as reliable. . . .

Vultite 57 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 never even heard of it, looks like a P22 on steroids to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Norseman 0 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I have never accually dealt with that model. I have found in the past that most of the Rock Island Armory has been less than desireable. Just my opinion -E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfixr 76 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I don't know much about those, but I had a Tangfolio Witness that I had purchased NIB. It was ok, but that's about it. Took about 400 rounds before it wouldn't hang up at least once per mag, with hardball rounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) Anyone own an EAA Witness P Compact Pistol? Same pistol, different markings and marketer. I figure the Witness and the RIA/Armscor are all made in the same place, anyway (and seem to be the same price ). Still looking for reviews.

Hi Guys, Regarding Tangfolio MAPP1, these are actualy Tangfolio handguns assembled in the philippines, the Italian gun company and Armscor Philippines joined forces to introduce the gun in the philippine market, and as far acceptance of the local market is concerned it doing a pretty good considering the strict competition between local and imported handguns. right now more locals are still into 1911's due to availability of parts. With regards to performance, this gun never jammed on me whenever I use it, and it is durable and most importantly it is easy to clean. had mine for running 3 years now and it still looks good like you just bought it from the store. Well this is all based on my experience . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saigaczech 9 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 It should be a decent gun. Tanfoglio has too much reputation riding on it. In the past they tried to cash in on the CZ name and trademark by having parts and assembly made in the original CZ-Strakonice plant (CZ-Uhersky Brod came later as a subsidiary). I prefer the original design, not the Italian copy, but that is just my patriotism to the homeland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
