About Tanfoglio

Fratelli Tanfoglio S.N.C. (Tanfoglio Brothers) is a prestigious Italian firearms manufacturer with deep roots in the firearms industry dating back to the early 1900s.

The current company was founded in 1969 by Giuseppe Tanfoglio's children - Lino, Marilena, and Massimo Tanfoglio - in Gardone Val Trompia, Brescia, Italy.

The Tanfoglio family legacy began when Bortolo Tanfoglio started manufacturing sidelocks for local firearms companies, leading to Giuseppe founding SATA in 1948 and later his own company in 1960.

Since 1986, Tanfoglio has specialized in developing pistols specifically for competitive shooting, particularly IPSC and IDPA competitions, achieving worldwide recognition with championship wins from 1998 to present.
