Pardini PC9 (9x19) How good?

[Jesper Rex]

My gun dealer has offered me a Pardini PC9, at a very atractive price.
It looks good, feels good, has a good trigger, but because of Danish
Gun Laws, I am not allowed to test it.

Is anyone here familiar with the Pardini PC9?

I am looking for opinions both pro and con.

I am not allowed to buy a gun that has a bullet dia, that is larger
than 0.38". Energy for some reason doesn't matter.

I am primarily going to use the Pistol for UIT Style target shooting
at 15 or 25 meters.
Some shooting will be done at outdoor ranges at distances up to 100
meters. (Scandinavian Discipline: Terrain Shooting)
Carrying is not an issue, since it is NOT allowed for civilians in
Denmark.

Thank you in advance for taking the time.

Happy shooting from Denmark

I found this link which appears to be a test.

http://www.zuellich.de/ladedaten/pistole/pistolePC%209%20S%20Comp.html

90 mm grouping at 25 meters (75 feet +) is pretty good using FMC ammo.
I think this is the translation.

You can try this link but my German is better than Italian.

Is the the Pardini PC 9 made in the Italian Alps like Berettas?

What are your other choices in DK? I am considering a Intrac HS2000
from Croatia. The gun appears to be available in Germany. The price
is good and quality is also good.

I am glad you are able to buy a gun in DK. I think the Nordic
countries (Norway & Finland not sure about Sweden) are among the few
still allowing some form of gun ownership.

It is possible to own guns legally in every European country - even Britain
and Ireland, though every country has different rules that make certain
types of guns tougher to own than others.

In Denmark We have a lot of choices in handguns, as long as they are
not any larger than a .38" in dia.

I also looked ad the SIG P210, a HK USP Sport, Tanfoglio and several
others. But I have now ordered my Pardini. Paperwork has now taken 7
weeks.

I am bying it used from a shooting buddy, that no longer uses it. It
has shot around 2000 rounds, and is 3 years old. I get it at a price
that is 70% of a new one.

He has some reloads, that was tested in a Ransom. They shot a 20 mm
hole at 18 meters.

The gun has newer been modified in any way.

I Like that it has a very good accuracy, out of the box, and also,
that it has a fully adhustable trigger, meaning that it isnt necesarry
to get a trigger job.
Trigger pull is set to 3 pounds.
It has an SA only trigger.

Magazine holds 17 shots

Barrell is 5", would like to have had it with 6", but doesn't know if
it would make it more accurate. It would give it a longer sight
radius.

Here is a couple of links with pictures of the Pardini PC

Will write back, when I have tested it. Is receiving it on Sunday

Happy shooting from Denmark
