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 introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.
