Super Titan issues - The Firearms Forum

1guyzopinion · 03-12-2012, 01:21 AM

I am looking at a Super Titan in a .380 auto. I understand it has jamming issues but I haven't fired it just yet. Cartridges feed and eject manually, no problem. Nothing seems bent, broken or worn. Thoughts or experiences?
Thanks.

The FIE Super Titan was an inexpensive SA .380 semiauto made by Tanfoglio (Italy) and imported by FIE in Florida. I believe Excam also imported a variation. The guns are known for some rough internal machining and the magazines occasionally need tweaking. Most of the time they can be made to run well with ball ammo but hollow points can be challenging.

Once they are running well, though, not a bad little .380.

Thanks for the info. I will take a closer look. I did see some rough spots that appeared to be "factory". Now I know.

Anyone else know or suspect something further?
