About the Gun

The EAA Pavona made by Tanfoglio is a variant of their Witness Polymer Compact, redesigned for women’s market. The polymer-framed gun is offered in a variety of color options, with glitter embedded in the color matrix providing a stylish frame finish. While the Pavona is a double-action (DA/SA) pistol, it does not have a decocking lever. Rather, it has a frame mounted safety that locks the cocked hammer, much like a 1911 pistol. Cocking the hammer first allows for easier racking of the slide, and the cocked hammer safety allows for a light trigger pull on the first round. Both functions resolve issues many women have with semi-automatic pistols. Other differences from the Witness Polymer Compact include weight, the elimination of an accessory rail, and magazine capacity.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed as a joint venture between Winchester and Smith & Wesson. It was an effort to to create a cartridge with the same power as the 10mm Norma round that the FBI had just started using, but in a shorter case. The shorter cartridge would facilitate accuracy and allow use of a smaller, more comfortable grip frame. The .40 S&W has become the cartridge of choice for many law enforcement agencies in the United States.
