Criticizing something you've never held or even seen is a fool's errand but wow, I just don't get it with these $25,000+ autoloading shotguns. Other than their uniqueness, they appear to me to be a super elegant solution to a non-problem. Having said this, I'm glad they're being made and wish them many more years of success!
What’s important to remember is that there is a certain percentage of that population that can purchase a Cosmi as easily as we could buy an old Remington 1100. Heck I’ve met folks that have spent that on a weekend hotel. Heck a new truck costs 3x that now and will only last 15yrs or so and depreciates that much in a couple of years. Personally I’d rather have an old beat up pickup and a Cosmi! 😉😁👍🏼
These factory tour videos are not RUclips videos. They are short, custom, tailored documentaries that happen to be on RUclips. I have worked on a few different channels and never made something this cohesive. The edit, the grade, the audio (there are small cuts but barely noticeable), the whole flow is seriously good.
Just brilliant! Shooting in those Italian hills is much like where we shoot Californian quail and chukor in New Zealand's South Island. I came across a Cosmi years ago at a gun auction in Invercargill. It was a brilliant piece of work.
I don't like the look of them but can really appreciate the traditions, craftsmanship and engineering and for that I love this . Thanks for showing us this factory.
Great vid. I have a second-hand Cosmi semi in 12 gauge that was proofed in 1959 (still have the papers from the proof house). It's a remarkable piece of engineering, and even more remarkable that it looks like it was designed yesterday.
Showing this vid to my friends who say "there is no market for a new auto 5 "(long recoil) I will never own one of these guns in my life but like a supercar manufacturer, i wish them to continue business, these guns are art, and art has value, even to those who don't "own" it
Loved this video guys. Finally got round to watching it. The walked up footage was amazing. One of my favourite shooting formats. You’ll have to film a walked up grouse day one day!
Absolutely bangtastic! Really enjoyed this vid. So wonderful to see the innovation and commitment to design and quality. Well done Cosmi and well done the team at TGS!!!
I've built a lot of guns and really it's easy but to be able to build a decent looking gun that functions well is hard to build a beautiful flawlessly functioning work of art is on its own level of craftsmanship. I love the merger of the new tec and old world craftsmanship!
If you think those hills are steep, come back to the States and to California and we'll go Mountain Quail hunting in the Sierra's. Great video as usual. I want one of the Cosmi Rigato in 444 Marlin. Maybe when I win the Lottery.
Thanks for another fantastic video! The amount of hand work that the builders put into the firearms is just fantastic and outrageous. The internals look like jewelry but better. The hunting scenes were great for a number of reasons. Beautiful dog work, and S T E E P hills!!!
Obscure fine quality hunting firearms. What could be better! And they are modern made! I may need to move to Italy where they still value such things. Thanks for bringing us along!
Beautiful. It’s amazing to see such a combination of tradition and innovation at work here. The Cosmi is such a monument to the craft of gunmaking. The stock mag tube thing is patently ridiculous, and totally brilliant at the same time.
I’ve been waiting for this video since you told me you guys were heading to the factory and boy oh boy was I not disappointed!!! As always great job guys!
What a fantastic video guys. absolutely top notch!! Your factory tour videos are simply the best but I really enjoyed this one, please don't stop making them.
Brilliant video. What a factory tour. Great to know what goes on in the factory. And why the guns are so expensive and see the new guns in the pipeline. The level of attention to detail and the fit and finish “perfect”
@@tgsoutdoors definitely. It’s great to see these and other guns of similar value. In Ireland I doubt if these guns will ever make it here. So for you guys to bring these guns to life and the shooting on the Italian hills. And I can now see the reason for these guns. And more importantly an understanding of the detail and love that goes into crafting these guns is immense
Thank you again for a great factory tour. The Cosmi is like the Swiss watch of shotguns. All those part hand worked to lock together and stuffed into the lower receiver. Is it madness or love I can’t decide. But a very cool gun.
Fantastic video again, really looking forward to more of these please?love the workshop, the skills involved in making these fine shotguns. Till the next video!cheers
I had the exact same colour panda 4x4 back in the early nineties, it would go places bigger 4x4s couldn’t a la shogun and Land Rover. Plus it would do doughnuts on snow and ice!
In my opinion this shotgun could be modified with a poly choke system for different shooting needs from birdshot to buckshot and even slugs can be fired through the same choke simply by twisting to adjust for desired shot ! Also a rifle version would be nice utilizing a 30-30 Winchester or 45-70 ,some of the handgun ammo like the 327 federal magnum might offer prolonged shooting .this gun should be able to accommodate anything that a lever action could with a few modifications ! Perfection is key to an outstanding gun ! The Cosmi company is allowed to utilize this information if they wanted for trials on a newer prototype !🤔
These days is pretty much impossible to find competent manual machinists, but the ones that can actually reach that level of accuracy by hand filing, are unicorns.
Unbelievable that place, he said that is the only break open semi auto in the world but what about the Beretta UGB25. Is that not classed as a break open semi auto? Ive just sold one thats all.
How many (semi) automatic guns that were invented 125yrs ago are still around!? That is a mind blowing fact! Some machine guns are very old like the Browning M1919, but they are very agricultural in comparison, this shotgun is a sleek and lovely sporting gun.
Browning auto-5. But the regular commercial version sold now is not the same as the original. But iirc there is a "fancy" version that is still original
That 45-70 looks like it could use a different style of scope mounting rings such as see through mounts to utilize the iron sights without pulling off the scope☝ 🤔👌👍😏 yeah I'm a smart ass ! building a legendary gun even better !🙊🙄😎👊
Fascinating experience. Superb watch.Kemen make a Titanium O/U gun which comes iin at around 7.5lbs for a 32''.Not much change out of 40K.Looked like the rifle made your acomplice's teeth rattle 😈
Great video and great rapport you have built with these makers. Personally, being the traditionalist, I can't love the Cosmi action, it's just all kinds of wrong. Recoil system makes it look like a WW I artillery piece 🤣
This to me is so much more impressive than the Beretta factory, i appreciate modern tech and machining and know it is needed, but the mass production at the lowest dollar possible by Beretta loses all passion, even their top end guns don't escape it, one reason why i will always favour Miroku, you can still feel someone loved that gun and it's process from raw materials
Super weird and super expensive. How have they survived? Edit: and now I see how ridiculous the manufacturing is. There is no way they will last another 130 years.
Bloody fantastic guys- the current crop of these factory tours are nothing short of amazing, thanks for the insight and please keep making them!

Factory tours are the best videos. I love watching them. Thanks!
So am I
As a former machinist, this is a wet dream.
Loved your host at Cosmi. Absolutely a very likeable guy. Funny and down to earth.
Absolute top gentlemen
I don't like the look of them but can really appreciate the traditions, craftsmanship and engineering and for that I love this .
Thanks for showing us this factory.
I think that 45-70 with a simple stock and less shiny metal work would be a cool gun.
Sasha is the true hero! Exceptional film work in a harsh environment. Bravo
The eccentricty of that mechanism as well as the amazing engineering and craftsmanship is very appealing.. They are gorgeous...
Life is not complete without a Cosmi in the cabinet for this very reason!
@@tgsoutdoors My late father who was a REME armorer would have really loved that gun I suspect
I've never seen anything like this. Thanks for sharing your visit.
Great vid. I have a second-hand Cosmi semi in 12 gauge that was proofed in 1959 (still have the papers from the proof house). It's a remarkable piece of engineering, and even more remarkable that it looks like it was designed yesterday.
Very cool!
I do like the factory tours videos. To see how each company goes about the “same” tasks, making such lovely engineering. It is truly amazing.

I think Sasha would hate it 😂
Astonishing product! Thank you for the video. I enjoyed the hunting escape the most. Perry Pappous, California, USA
Absolutely bangtastic! Really enjoyed this vid. So wonderful to see the innovation and commitment to design and quality. Well done Cosmi and well done the team at TGS!!!
Thanks so much for giving us this tour and introducing a new firearm.
AMAZING video!! Many thanks from Toronto Canada.
I've built a lot of guns and really it's easy but to be able to build a decent looking gun that functions well is hard to build a beautiful flawlessly functioning work of art is on its own level of craftsmanship. I love the merger of the new tec and old world craftsmanship!
Mr Carter hunting like an American now !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That’s been the case since I was a boy, just never caught on camera before!
If you think those hills are steep, come back to the States and to California and we'll go Mountain Quail hunting in the Sierra's. Great video as usual. I want one of the Cosmi Rigato in 444 Marlin. Maybe when I win the Lottery.
Another great presentation! Beautiful shotguns and rifles. Wonderful watching the dogs work birds on your upland hunt.
Thanks for another fantastic video! The amount of hand work that the builders put into the firearms is just fantastic and outrageous. The internals look like jewelry but better. The hunting scenes were great for a number of reasons. Beautiful dog work, and S T E E P hills!!!
400 hours of hand fitting and polishing is a labour of love!
I hope they never change.
What a fantastic video. Real quality and infectious enthusiasm. I'm loving this channel.
Wow, thank you!
Just wow!! Amazing, spectacular and gorgeous…. The cosmi pruducts and facility!!
As ever a great video. I hope cosmi can bring on new young craftsmen to continue making these beautiful amazing pieces of artful engineering.
Obscure fine quality hunting firearms. What could be better! And they are modern made! I may need to move to Italy where they still value such things. Thanks for bringing us along!
My favorite video yet. Thanks
Beautiful. It’s amazing to see such a combination of tradition and innovation at work here. The Cosmi is such a monument to the craft of gunmaking. The stock mag tube thing is patently ridiculous, and totally brilliant at the same time.
Outstanding in every aspect! Tutto molto benne!
a crafted gun bravo to all who work on the guns great job to all and the owner its a gem
Another great factory tour I love these videos fantastic watch well done lads 👌👊👏
I’ve been waiting for this video since you told me you guys were heading to the factory and boy oh boy was I not disappointed!!! As always great job guys!
Glad you enjoyed Mr V
Loving these factory tour videos! Amazing job.
Can't wait for the next one, hoping Zoli, krieghoff or kemen! 🤞
A short kemen one may well be happening soon
Superb gentlemen!!
I'm guessing that this message is a scam?
This videos are amazing. Keep on the good working ! Congrats!!
Love seeing guns built like this really class, such a nice place to be!
What a fantastic video guys. absolutely top notch!! Your factory tour videos are simply the best but I really enjoyed this one, please don't stop making them.
Thank you for this great video !
Another fantastic video boys, absolutely love the content. Keep up the good work going into 2023!!
Brilliant video. What a factory tour. Great to know what goes on in the factory. And why the guns are so expensive and see the new guns in the pipeline. The level of attention to detail and the fit and finish “perfect”
Expensive is relative - I expect this amount of man hours and talent go into many guns costing well in excess of 100k plus engraving.
@@tgsoutdoors definitely. It’s great to see these and other guns of similar value. In Ireland I doubt if these guns will ever make it here.

very beautiful work
Another Great video, beautiful guns and a beautiful place .
I believe these are the best built shotguns ever.
Was trying to cut down on youtube videos !!!!! Then Johnny puts up another Cosmi video. The First video was 😮💨👌🏼#JohnnythebigKid
#jonnythebigkid would have been a better channel name
Yet another great piece of work. Well done Chaps.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you again for a great factory tour. The Cosmi is like the Swiss watch of shotguns. All those part hand worked to lock together and stuffed into the lower receiver. Is it madness or love I can’t decide. But a very cool gun.
True love is madness
I had never even heard of Cosmi. Very fine.
Certainly worth knowing about!
Fantastic video again, really looking forward to more of these please?love the workshop, the skills involved in making these fine shotguns. Till the next video!cheers
I've tried the number but with no luck 😕, yes I've put a 0 before the first.
I had the exact same colour panda 4x4 back in the early nineties, it would go places bigger 4x4s couldn’t a la shogun and Land Rover. Plus it would do doughnuts on snow and ice!
Great video chaps
Top notch video. Keep it going jonny. 👍👍And sash🍻🍻
Thank you!
Amazing _ that's what i call a semi auto shotgun _ Beautiful, and nice to see them work with such a passion ! I def. want one of these *_*
That was great ! 👏
Lovely episode!
no screws as far as the action goes wow the c96 broom handle muaser only has one and it holds the grips together
I'm definitely getting a few as soon as I win the Powerball Lottery.
thanks for the video
You're welcome
An absolutely wonderful video.
❤️
The Beretta UGB25 has a similar function and appearance, as it made by these craftsmen?
Similar in that it opens, the mechanical function is very different.
Brilliant
These are 🤯 but not even close to my price point. Is there a possibility to review Marocchi First MK2 20/76 with steel receiver?
Very nice episode😊 keep it up
They are absolutely and beautifully mad and I'd love to own one!
Always wanted one of these. Great design and beautiful. Great people too..
Great video as always. Do you know if they still make their barrels from Bohler Antinite steel?
That is a good question, I believe Alli did say so
I like that Cosmi semi auto, looks a bit odd broke open. Next time in the USA you should look up the Butler Shotgun guys.
Amazing.
In my opinion this shotgun could be modified with a poly choke system for different shooting needs from birdshot to buckshot and even slugs can be fired through the same choke simply by twisting to adjust for desired shot !

Had the opportunity to shoot a Cosmi at an Orvis event it was superb. I enjoy my Kolar but if I ever get the chance I would add a Cosmi to collection
As a Cosmi owner, I can tell you they make every collection significantly more complete!
@@tgsoutdoors My local Gun shop owner might just send a Commission Fee your way for that sales pitch.
Handmade Guns for ever!!!
Unbelievable that place, he said that is the only break open semi auto in the world but what about the Beretta UGB25. Is that not classed as a break open semi auto?
Ive just sold one thats all.
Been looking forward to seeing this video. 👌
Hope you enjoyed it
@@tgsoutdoors Absolutely, 👌
Wow what a gun who made by Cosmi.
How many (semi) automatic guns that were invented 125yrs ago are still around!? That is a mind blowing fact! Some machine guns are very old like the Browning M1919, but they are very agricultural in comparison, this shotgun is a sleek and lovely sporting gun.
Browning auto-5.
But the regular commercial version sold now is not the same as the original. But iirc there is a "fancy" version that is still original
@@yeahbee8237 The 1911 is very old too.
Will you ever do a tour of Browning Viana (Portugal)?
Do you have contact details?
loaded or not . open or not were is your barrel pointed ? safety its no accident
That 45-70 looks like it could use a different style of scope mounting rings such as see through mounts to utilize the iron sights without pulling off the scope☝ 🤔👌👍😏 yeah I'm a smart ass ! building a legendary gun even better !🙊🙄😎👊
Fascinating experience. Superb watch.Kemen make a Titanium O/U gun which comes iin at around 7.5lbs for a 32''.Not much change out of 40K.Looked like the rifle made your acomplice's teeth rattle 😈
Love the titanium action kemens, one of those guns I would Love to add to the collection when I ever have that much spare cash!
Music's too loud, guys.
Super like 👍
I hope i could afford one in the future...
🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷😎🇫🇷🖖🏻
De vinchi gun 😏
Great video and great rapport you have built with these makers. Personally, being the traditionalist, I can't love the Cosmi action, it's just all kinds of wrong. Recoil system makes it look like a WW I artillery piece 🤣
Is 125 years old not traditional enough 😂
@@tgsoutdoors 🤣 't'in't right
These are a dream I’d have to have one in each caliber if I ever had the money.
That would be a good flight of guns
5 MOA?
Oh those guns are, i want one worthy 🙂 but they cost a lot 🫤 better keep the Benelli 😅
This to me is so much more impressive than the Beretta factory, i appreciate modern tech and machining and know it is needed, but the mass production at the lowest dollar possible by Beretta loses all passion, even their top end guns don't escape it, one reason why i will always favour Miroku, you can still feel someone loved that gun and it's process from raw materials
I'd be afraid of getting those guns scratched in that bushy terrain, which is why I lean toward more austere guns.
A finely built gun like this looks even better with some wear marks! Each one is a memory
@@tgsoutdoors Kind of like with farmers: every scar is a badge of honour.
With such an unusual gun, I would have liked to see more of it and less of everything else!
How can you complain about 21 Celsius? Thats winter here
What was Mike doing there? Was he the camera man, or just on holiday? 😅
Mike the legendary camera op
@@tgsoutdoors is that the case or just Mike ringing his own bell! 😂
Seeing a cosmi opened with a scope Is so blursed
👌👍👍👍
Super weird and super expensive.
How have they survived?
Edit: and now I see how ridiculous the manufacturing is. There is no way they will last another 130 years.
No Transleter........fremch
"this is an amazing product" - fires an overly engineered paperweight missing the target by over a foot. What in the hell did I just watch.
I've seen black powdered rifles fire faster and more accurate.
