AMARILLO, TX – World renowned for accuracy, reliability, and smooth shooting performance, Tanfoglio’s CZ-75-inspired pistols are a permanent fixture within the competitive pistol, law enforcement and personal defense markets. Offered in XTREME, COMPETITION, and DEFENSE variants, the DEFIANT Series continues to dominate and is now only available from the Italian Firearms Group http://www.ifg-usa.com/ family of dealers and distributors!
“The Italian Firearms Group is extremely proud to expand our existing partnership with Tanfoglio and we are committed to providing the best customer service possible in support of such an iconic brand,” said Justin Dodd, Chief of Operations, IFG. “We currently offer over twenty unique products in the DEFIANT series, and we’re focused on continued growth and evolution of the product line for the U.S. market.”
The Defiant Series includes a half-dozen semi-automatics for the self-defense and concealed carry markets, and they are available in 9MM, 40 S&W, 10MM, 38 Super, and 45 ACP. The competition pistols in the DEFIANT XREME line are not only some of the most unique-looking handguns in competitive circles today, they are also among the most accurate and reliable.
The DEFIANT COMPETITION offerings include the DOMINA model, a work of art that’s also a leader in the Open ISPC Division events. And don’t forget the Defiant STOCK I, which Tanfoglio set up specifically for Practical Shooting Production Division and well as IDPA SSP and ESP Classes. The STOCK I allows the new shooter to approach the world of competitive shooting sports and the seasoned shooter to compete in divisions that have been until now reserved for very few models.
Tanfoglio and IFG: setting the bar high for serious hand gunners.

About Tanfoglio
In 1948, Giuseppe Tanfoglio and Antonio Sabatti founded the “SATA” company for the production of shotguns and components. In 1953, the company began making small pistols in 25 ACP, .22 Short, and 22 LR. Then, in 1960, Giuseppe formed a new operation that produced semi-automatic pistols, derringers, single and double action revolvers, and shotguns mainly for the USA until 1992. Founded in 1969, the Fratelli Tanfoglio company was created specializing its production and manufacturing on semi-automatic pistols in various calibers for self-defense. Focus again narrowed in 1986 when the company began production of models for sport shooting - specifically for I.P.S.C. and I.D.P.A. competitions. Tanfoglio products are a benchmark of excellence for fans and shooters all over the world and continue to be a global leader in law enforcement and duty style firearms. In 2021, IFG became the sole importer of Tanfoglio products into the USA market allowing Tanfoglio to take advantage of the industry leading customer support provided by the Amarillo, Texas operation.
