Talk:Tanfoglio TZ-75

Does anybody have any idea what the difference is between a TZ 75 and a TA 90? For example, if you compare this to this, the pistols are pretty much identical, yet one is marked as a TZ 75 and the other a TA 90. I used to think that the difference was in the shape of the trigger guard, but this is clearly not the case as both of the previous examples have straight trigger guards, and here are pics of both a TZ 75 and a TA 90 with the rounded bottom to the trigger guard. I have read that the difference between the TZ 75 and TA 90 is purely that it was called the former when imported by F.I.E. and the latter by Excam, but I am not 100% convinced by this as the markings appear like Tanfoglio factory ones rather than importer ones, and on none of the pistols pictured above are their any markings for the importer so I don't really know what to think. I would also guess that with the shape of the trigger guard changed with time, with early guns being flat bottomed and latter ones curved, but I don't know. --commando552 (talk) 09:59, 31 August 2014 (EDT)

I found out only the difference between TZ 75 and TA 95: the latter has a strengthened construction for using such powerful cartridges as 9x21 mm and 10 mm Auto. When I identified the movie pistol as TZ 75, I based on the shape of the front part of the slide, TZ 75 was the only CZ-75 style pistol that had sloped line while all other version, including TA 90, had vertical. But now I see that TA 90 also have sloped front of the slide. So I have no guess about the difference. Greg-Z (talk) 12:08, 31 August 2014 (EDT)
