A great designer of the past used to say that often perfect engineering works from the operational standpoint are also surprisingly beautiful. During the presentation to the public, a large number of enthusiasts commented about the pleasant sensations of lightness and strength they felt from Iside and the purity of the “round-body” action lines given the prototypes without engravings. The heart of the weapon, realised entirely from a full Monobloc forged by shaving removal, has seduced the enthusiasts in the most beautiful way, that is, without artifices, our way.
The “Iside” family, in its smooth bore versions, includes the “ISIDE” with manual extractor; “ISIDE EM”, with “triple depth” laser engraved action and automatic ejector through large ejectors; “ISIDE TARTARUGA GOLD” with colour hardened action, gold subjects and wood recoil-pad and “ISIDE GARDENA” that has a double trigger / single trigger shooting system, ejector, divergent barrels, in order to have a large bullet group (oo) in shooting both shots with the rear double trigger actioned first. There is a wide selection of calibres: 12-16-20-28-410.
