During the Euro Target Show in Poznań, which took place on March 21-23, 2025, we were able to meet many exhibitors about whom we wrote recently. One of such companies is the Best Hunters store, which sells pistols from the American company Stacatto (The official distributor of Staccato pistols in Poland, Staccato HD - innovations in the guise of 2011 9mm). At the stand, you could see the already described Stacatto models and new products from other brands.
One of them are the new models of the Italian brand Tanfoglio. The first is the Tanfoglio Stock III 2025 in classic and Optic Ready variants. The weapon received a new slide with grooves on the sides and rear, new G10 grips and a Next trigger mechanism with reduced trigger pull and shortened travel. The safety method was also changed, which is visible at first glance.
Another new product was the Tanfoglio HexagonP model, a more modern design combining a polymer grip with a metal slide and a ported 4.4-inch barrel. These models are available for sale at prices from around 1430 EUR and 1550 EUR for the Stock III 2025 model in the classic and Optic Ready variants and the Hexagon P priced at around 763 EUR.
Another recently introduced proposal is the OA Defense pistol. Just as Stacatto combined the Colt 1911/2011 and Glock platforms, OA Defense came up with its own proposal in the form of the 2311 model family combining the designs of the Colt 1911/2011 and SIG P320.
The resulting designs are in still classic hammer-fired pistols with an interesting (and certainly eye-catching) design. These pistols have a double-sided slide stop and safety levers, no grip safety, a flat, non-adjustable trigger with a pull of 1.6-1.8 kg, and an external extractor. The pistols are factory-adapted for mounting optics on the slide in all variants, and the manufacturer supplies 4 mounting plates for various standards. Additionally, for fans of iron sights, tritium variants are factory-mounted. You can also choose variants equipped with classic (OA 2311 and OA 2311 Compact models) or ported barrels and slides (OA 2311 Compact Pro, OA 2311 Pro and OA 2311 Pro Elite models).
The characteristic elements of these designs is that they are fed from SIG P320 platform magazines and have an interestingly grip design. It is a combination of two elements, i.e. the grip itself and the frame housing the trigger mechanism. It is interesting because the polymer grip itself includes the trigger guard and is quite strongly moved forward, additionally offering a place for the thumb.
During the fair, 4 variants available for sale were presented and they included:
OA Defense OA 2311 Full Size with a 5-inch barrel and 3 magazines at a price of around 3830 EUR
OA Defense OA 2311 Compact with a 4.25-inch barrel and 3 magazines for around 3230 EUR
OA Defense OA 2311 Compact Pro with a ported 4.25-inch barrel and 3 magazines for around 3230 EUR
OA Defense OA 2311 Compact Pro Kit+ with a ported 4.25-inch barrel and a set of 5 magazines for around 3970 EUR
The stand also featured curiosities such as various models of the iconic Kriss Vector PM in 9 mm and .22LR calibers, or a new budget proposal for the AR-15 rifle, the POF-15 BASE model, and many other products from the Best Hunters store.
