Designing a gun with CAD programs and CNC or 3d printed rapid prototyping is impressive. Designing something like this with drafting tables, hand drawings, imagination and wood models that are hand made is mind blowing.

I'm surprised there aren't more of these high end self-loaders, especially with the popularity of sidelocks. The large receiver would make for an excellent canvas for a large amount of engraving.

Wow John I'm blown away by the quality and production of this review. Your content just gets better and better.

I handled one of these years ago, at an auction sale in Invercargill, New Zealand. Funny where guns like this can pop up. It was truly a magnificent piece of engineering that almost leapt to the shoulder. Thanks for showing us.

Absolutely beautiful. 7 shot capacity surprised me there, awesome piece of kit.

lovely gun I had one in my hands a week ago. I noticed that you didn't mention the button on the side. It is a blot release and can help you reload faster. After taking your last shot from the magazine the bolt locks back. You can load your next round straight into the chamber push the button close the bolt then open the action to load the magazine. it should save some time and even a bit of confusion as the last time you opened the action the bolt was locked back. the bolt follower and the spring that closes the bolt subsequently slammed forward but thankyou for the video

I think you are very brave waving that beautiful gun around on an uncovered table. I winced ever time you spun the gun around. Thanks for showing this fabulous gun 😃👍

Stunning gun. Both externally and internally

Stunning piece of firearm engineering, obviously to be appreciated by the connoisseur.

Hello Johnny! My name is Dimitri. Nice video....i love this shotgun! Cosmi incorporates a little switch kinda button on the left back side of its firing mechanism that acts as a cut-off switch and turns Cosmi into a (1+2)-round shotgun! Keep up the good work! I love your videos on KZread, especially the ones with "old" traditional Side x sides! Greetings from Greece

Nice work JC. Good to see that you are keeping us all informed which I certainly enjoy. I saw you shoot this in an earlier vid of yours in Italy. What a beast of a machine with elegance built into machine poetry and motion. What next a belt loaded 12 gauge lololololol Now there's a thought...

"Beauty is rarely efficient." I'll have to remember to tell the boss that when he wonders aloud at why I'm not finished a labourious welding project.

There’s not a lot to say about this gun apart from its stunning it’s a best quality semi auto and i want one i can dream !

Really beautiful wood. I'd be very reluctant to expose that action when loading in a duck blind, goose pit or boat. The more usual autoloaders are designed to shield the working parts better from debris, rain, etc.

It is gorgeous

Stunning gun!!!

Love it!

Looks beautiful, but from the "easyness" of maintaining and using it, I would absolutely prefer an old Browning A5. This looks like a piece of art; maybe like the Korriphila HSP-701 or the Korth PRS (which I guess are basically perfection) but too clunky. I would not dare to use it on the range due to all the polished things inside I had to clean afterwards. This gun would be something to put in a showcase.

Its was great to bump into you at Barbury Shooting School, and the irony of getting home to see todays KZread video, arguably the finest semi-auto shotgun in the word, and me, as I explained in the gun room, trying out for the first time my Stoeger MK3 semi auto, totally the other end of the stick. Well I have to report that not only did it cycle as well as expected with 32g cartridges, but 28g were smooth, and finally the 24g gamebore cartridge although cheekily optimistic proved to work ok too. Astonishing what that inertia semi can do. Having said that though I am certainly in awe of the COSMI as I remember your previous video of evening clays in Italy...with a bar and beer perhaps. However for now, totally loving my Stoeger... £550 worth of Turkish American fun :-).

Did you just say "unfortunately we don't have those" when referring to magazine capacity restrictions in hunting?

I'm not allowed any more guns either, my kids however are.. so I buy for them. Eventually they'll get them...

I don’t get it. I guess I prefer my silver and A5. But to each their own.

Although the action is beautiful to look at and manipulate, the shotgun has numerous practical flaws. Having to open the action to cock the hammer is one. Can it be decocked without doing that? Does it need to be open to show the firearm is safe? These actions in the field or at the range expose the internals to dirt and foreign material. Another flaw is the use of a fixed force spring which allows proper functioning within a certain range of load parameters only - much like the Auto 5 and various Remington 1100 series (although the Remington 1100 holds the world record of over 24000 rounds being fired without any malfunctions and without having been cleaned). To me, true beauty is not only reliability but flexibility as well, along with ease of use and maintenance. The winner in thst category, proven by decades of Sporting Clays shooters, is the Beretta AL391 Urika.

It's like if Panerai made a firearm.

I'll take my A5.

I should expand, it what makes a great gun: The answer will be individual to every person, but we can all agree that if you took an average then the following wood stand: -usability - it’s got to be nice to use -reliability- it’s got to work -affordability- the average man should be able to want and afford one. (This is where opinion will differ the most) -desirability - almost h marketing does little to you once you have made a purchase it does protect the used market and there is reassurance in having a gun that holds market appeal/value. Cosmi falls short on some points here, the same as Bosis and some of the other finest makers in the world. Benelli falls short in no corner other than their stocks are blooming tiny.

i dont like it. its slow to reload and expensive. sure it looks stunning but its way too awkward. beretta 1301 is still my favorite semi auto.

👍👌👌

"... but it is not unattractive in any way, shape or form." Actually, it's pug ugly. It's also ridiculously over complicated. The hallmark of excellent engineering is simplicity, not figuring out how to make ten parts do the job of two. It's absurdly expensive, the action is long enough to serve as a driveway and the overall company 'mission statement' seems to be, "How expensive can we make this thing?" Of course if spending forty grand is an affront, you can add about another sixty grand of engraving. "Ahh.. that's much better. I'll take it, unless you have one with diamonds instead of engraving." While my local gun club doesn't screen potential new members by apparent wealth, if someone showed up with one of these things, I'd gently suggest that the membership committee keep up the requirement that IQ be at least as high as one's shoe size.

This seems like driving across the country to knock on the neighbors door. Pay a small fortune for a antiquated highly mechanical custom made action ?? Might as well just collect watches… Idk maybe when I get older I’ll appreciate things like this more but I’d way rather myself have a good browning auto. Top off reloading is possible you don’t have to do four actions with your hand to cock the fucking thing haha .. This is just jewelry for the person who’d rather show strangers there firearms than shoot them.

The wood is absolutely stunning. But the action and assembly are hideous, absolutely hideous. If possible, uglier than a Glock.

I’m sure the mechanics, wood, and fit are superb… but the action is kind of ugly and it’s complexity seems rather rube-goldbergish
