 ITM AT84s 9mm pistol

"Like almost all CZ-75 clones, the Action Arms AT series was made using most parts supplied by Tanfoglio of Italy, and finished in Switzerland.
The AT-84 was mostly Tanfoglio supplied parts, the very late AT-88 used more parts made by Action Arms"

Note, I have heard of Tanfoglio.

 AT-88S

"The ITM (Industrial Technology and Machines) AT84S was built in Solothurn, Switzerland starting in 1984 as a clone of the original CZ 75. They were well built pistols, utilizing a great design. Most of them had matte blued slides with a more polished blued frame. The rear sight was large, but fixed. The front sight is a rather low profile, ramped style. The AT84S had a fairly short production life. Four years later, the AT88S was introduced with a few changes, including a firing pin safety and a slightly different barrel/slide locking system. Sphinx took ITM over in 1990 and turned the AT88S into a super high end, world class pistol. Therefore, this AT84S is really the start of the incredible Sphinx line of handguns. Its sort of like a pre-Sphinx, so to speak"

If someone has access to bluebook values here or some place else I would like an idea to help her out.

I'm not a big Blue Book fan as I sold a nice S&W revolver for about half of its value based on the Blue Book.

The best source I know of is to go to Gun Broker or similar site where you can do an advanced search on guns that have recently sold to see how much they sold for.

You might suggest that she become a benefactor to this fine site. For a nominal and very fair cost, this would open several other forums including a very informative and easy to use "firearms for sale" forum where some great people would pay fair prices, or offer her other sources of valuable information as she decides whether to sell.

I had searched Gunbroker and got 0 hits on at88s.  I haven't seen it in person yet, she is one of my wives friends and a member neighborhood watch so I will be getting to know here better.

She has already told me she is going to try to sell it and buy a different 9mm.  She don't like how this one feels. 

I got involved when someone told her it looked like a colt and she was thinking about asking a low dollar amount.  I got involved to make sure she didn't get ripped off.

  She seems interested in learning and though my wife going to let me help her.

She only has it for home protection, but admittedly is scared of guns, but interested in learning.

My wife invited her to go shoot with us.  Trust me, I will make sure it is as safe as possible with advanced planning.

I will probably start her with my 1911 22lg to let her get the feel of a 1911.  If that isn't a good fit, a Walter p22. (just for starting).

(good reasons to keep .22 around that match other guns).

I do plan to introduce her to the site here as well. 

Maybe she will be interested in getting a Carry permit, i might be able over time guide her down that road.

It's great that you are being a helpful neighbor as well as thinking toward bringing her into the gun ownership community.
