Not to be an ass but it is probably not a gun you would trust to save your life.......
I have never heard of it myself. |

No, I don't particullary like it. But it's all I have at the moment. I'd like to be able to look up the specs and what not on it, but I don't know where to start. And I think it's hot....

One of the more reliable cheapo import guns from the 70s- 80s. I used to like them too,
..... but used one to try to kill a rabid racoon. He took all six rounds and was still trying to get up to get at me. PS if you ever see a racoon in the daylight, and he is just walkin around.... He is sick. Kill it with a .45, and be glad you have a good fence. .25acp is better than fist fighting, but is a hold out calibre. |

How would I know if it were hot or not, providing I could find the SN? |

Does it look like this?
S/N should be on left side of pistol, right in front of safety lever. Excam 25 auto ETA: local pawnshop or gun shop may run the numbers, if you're friendly with them. |

I have one! My mom got it for me to put in my purse when I was going to college, so I wouldn't have to leave my gun in the car to get stolen. I still have the box, it says targa delux automatic pistol model GT26 on it and the gun has excam on it. You have to be careful racking the slide that you don't pull it up and off.
It's a tiny gun, better than nothing. It was all my mom could afford to get me. |

It is a tiny gun, but it's all I have right now. I'd love to find out more about it, but the links haven't been working for me. |

That link won't work for me. I see where the serial # is now though, thanks. How do I look it up? |

Wow, I used to have one too. IIRC, I believe it is one of the few .25s that have an external hammer. Mine didn't even have any grips on it. |

Yes, that's exactly it, but I've got wood on the handle. |

They work surprisingly well.
As noted above, watch it when you rack the slide. Pull it straight back;not back and up or you'll disassemble it. |

I had one for awhile about 10 years ago. Put a few hundred rounds thru it with out a single problem. Fairly accurate (for a .25) and not bad looking, IMHO. Bought it used from a gun shop that was going out of business for $40. They had two of them inthe case at the time. Wish I'd bought both of them...

around here we call those "rape whistles" they're just loud enough to get the attention of the police when you need help.

call the local police department and ask them to run the make, model, caliber, and serial # through NCIC

Actually, I have a FIE Titan as a "can't carry a gun, gun". The trigger sucks, but it has surprisingly never failed to feed or fire for the 15 years I have owned it. Only run 50 a year thru the pipe but I carry it when I can't carry a real gun. I got my 40 bucks worth out of it that it costs. SN# should be on the left side of the frame in front of the safety. |

Tanfoglio is a reputable Italian manufacturer and put out some very high quality pistols at reasonable cost. The TZ 75 was every bit the equal of the CZ 75 from which it was copied.

A buddy of mine shot a groundhog in his backyard with a Beretta 25, one of the little tip-up barrel jobbies. He hit it 5 times in the body, and it ran in its hole.
I killed it the next day by waiting until it was out in the middle of the lawn, sneaking off the porch, and then charging it and shooting it with a 16 guage shotgun. |

I had one. worked fine.
Gave it to a girlfriend. As far as I know she still trains with it and carries it. One step above nothing, but it goes bang every time! |

Nope. I had a TA90 and a TZ75. The TZ's slide-mounted safety and lousy trigger pull rather turned me off. It was also inaccurate, compared to any other CZ-type weapon I have ever owned. Your Ever-lovin' CZ Mod

I have the .32 version of that gun. It is a little larger, different frame. The firing pin broke but since I had it replaced it shoots fine. I saw the .32 version at the last gun show, first one I have seen besides mine ever. I prolly wouldn't trust anyones life with it.

I'm not going to completely trust it either as far as stopping someone. I read the thread about that cop. That's just sad. But it's better than nothing and I feel better having something right now.

Based on it’s location, I’d think the safety only blocks the trigger.
I’d strongly recommend you not carry this thing with a round in the chamber. |

I had a Tangfoglio GT-380 a long time ago. I never failed to feed, fire or eject.
