Tanfoglio Pugio: The Ultimate Concealed Carry 1911 – Precision Meets Portability
Introducing the Tanfoglio Pugio, imported exclusively by the Italian Firearms Group, a modern homage to the classic 1911 design, optimized for concealed carry and self-defense.
Inspired by the ancient Roman Pugio dagger, known for its precision and ease of concealment, this pistol combines historical essence with cutting-edge technology.
The Tanfoglio Pugio is a breakthrough in compact firearms, featuring a lightweight yet durable fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame paired with a precision-engineered polygonal bull barrel, CNC-machined from a Lothar Walther tube. This pistol is chambered in the widely favored 9×19 caliber, offering both strength and reduced weight, which translates to exceptional accuracy and reliability.
Engineered for the modern shooter, the Pugio includes a double steel chassis for enhanced durability and a lightweight steel slide with rear serrations for quick and easy slide manipulation. The one-piece steel guide rod contributes to the pistol’s long-lasting performance.
Customization is key with the Pugio, as it comes with interchangeable front sights for precision tuning and an integrated Picatinny rail for attaching tactical accessories. An optics-ready variant is also available, supporting the RMS footprint for red dot optics, enhancing its appeal for those who demand adaptability in their gear.
