The 9mm FAR (Fast, Accurate, Reliable) was developed by Italian designer Antonio Cudazzo and introduced in December 2000 by Tanfoglio and the FAR system was endorsed by then World Champion IPSC shooter Eric Grauffel. The idea was for a new system in handgun design leading to a much more stable and controlled system as opposed to existing IPSC handguns. Cases were by Lapua with a 124gr FMJ bullet, but it seemed to have died a quiet death not too long after it was launched. See also the copy from Armi & Tiro Magazine)
