Short story - fllirizzini English version

Guido followed from the very beginning this difficult road. He realized this being the only way to find his identity as a gunsmith and to compete with his famous peers, whose patents are frequently over a hundred years old.

With this in mind he developed his ejector system, the single trigger and his famous sidelock.

These mechanisms weren´t exercises for the sake of creativity or to show off to his ability to develop something different. No, they were robust and simple, allowing to overcome the shortcomings of existing designs, in particular less than stellar reliability.

Following these principles his side by side was created, which is in continuous mechanical and aesthetic evolution.

In the nineties, we developed our sidelock double rifle. This process took close to ten years and resulted in a double rifle which incorporated multiple innovative solutions, setting it apart from it´s competition.

After all these accomplishments, one last dream remained, existing only as sketches in a notebook and some milled and filed steel pieces, as a first step to turn this dream into reality.

At first the dream remained but a dream. However, in our hearts and minds it lived on, until finally the right moment came to proceed.

This dream was our over and under. Twelve years have passed, a long gestational period marked by slow progress and episodes of sudden arrest, caused by problems seemingly impossible to solve; solutions were found at times through cooperation of many, at times by individual intuition.

Finally, after numerous designs and prototypes we can proudly say to have created something new, in many respects better, which is not going to revolutionize the history of guns, but incorporates improvements, where everybody said nothing could be invented anymore.
