Franchi makes some of the finest hunting and sporting shotguns available, combining field-tested reliability with unparalleled craftsmanship.
The Inertia Driven® System harnesses the law of inertia to power the world’s fastest, simplest, and most reliable semi-auto shotguns.
Newton’s first law of physics is consistent and unchanging, and Franchi put it to work for you in the best system ever devised.
Reliable – The Inertia Driven® System never needs adjusting and will cycle anything from light field loads to 3-1/2-inch magnums with consistent reliability, year after year.
Simple – The system has only 3 primary parts: the bolt body, the inertia spring, and the rotating bolt head.
Fast – With very few parts, the Inertia Driven® System is fast- very fast.
Clean – Gas, smoke, and burnt powder stay in the barrel where they belong, instead of being channeled into the gun’s mechanism as they are in gas systems.
Strong – Strong steel locking lugs on the rotating bolt head of the Inertia Driven® System lock steel to steel inside the gun barrel. The lugs lock even more tightly during firing.
Low-Maintenance – Gun cleaning takes a fraction of the time, since the system is cleaner.
Lightweight – The Inertia Driven® System is incredibly lightweight. Shotguns with the system can be some of the lightest ever produced.
Perfect Balance – With no springs, action bar linkage, or heavy gas cylinders under the fore-end, Inertia Driven® shotguns balance as a fine game gun should.
