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.

When can we get a tour of Johnny’s gun collection?!

I’m so glad that you’re still doing gun reviews. I fell in love with this channel because you review guns I’ll never be able to afford! Haha Thank you JC, please continue doing a great job!

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.

Did anyone start crying when he bumped the table with buttstock

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 😃👍

Beretta made a similar a few years ago, but without the mag tube, the shell was just clicked in on the side.

What an absolutely gorgeous piece of design and manufacturing. And that price really isn't bad at all!

A total dream ! Thanks for sharing Jonny !

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...

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 KZfaq, especially the ones with "old" traditional Side x sides! Greetings from Greece

"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.

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

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.

You need a 12 ga hand engraved Ithaca over under with gold game birds. Look it up

Stunning gun. Both externally and internally

That gun is absolute perfection 🤤😍 confused about no one liking it because it’s a 7 shot, i thought every shotgun in the UK had to hold 2 shells and nothing more

04:00 au contraire, monsieur. Efficiency EXUDES beauty and this wonderful long-recoil mechanism is efficient, the outside bolt handle is just not necessary and therefore is the internal bolt handle efficient and beautiful. Quod erat demonstrandum. Thankyouverymuch!

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 !

We always wanted one of these.

I've been looking forward to this video it is something special enjoy your new gun, sorry your not aloud anymore guns, when is ant going to get a shot, I'm sure he could put it work lol

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.

Another gun to obsess over eventually owning! Great video as always.

Love it!

Stunning gun!!!

Potters in Kent had one last month for sale for 3750 I think. I’d love one

Wonderful machining

من لم يمتلكها لا يستطيع الحكم عليها . افضل بندقية صيد على مستوى العالم

It is gorgeous

How do you clear malfunctions if there are any? Say you accidentally close the bolt on your finger how do you pull it back?

Breschnev's favorite shotgun and Tito liked it very much also.

Beautiful semi-shotgun indeed 😁

That is pure engineering brilliance I’d love to shoot one one day

More of a custom piece of artwork rather than a daily driver really. Especially given the order time and the fact that Cosmi is so low volume.

Wow! The inside looks like the inside of a clock !!

I think this and some tactical tweed is needed for another go at practical shotgun

There's a reason why there aren't that many around! If it was a car it'd be a Bristol. Lovely, quirky but own one? Feck no.

Great video Josh, that is one beautiful shotgun, I imagine with all that ammunition in it, it will weigh a ton.

Oh my god, I want one! As a mechanical engineer, that’s damned beautiful.

Jumped over to their web presence having seen this video title , I never realised that they offered a rifle ....... I'm on the list to go on the list just as soon as I can offload a kidney. Thanks for the uploads. Be good Stay safe.

Not my cup of tea but beautifully engineered. Cleaning is going to be a bit of a 'mare !

Different But Very Nice !!

Hey there Iove your content I was wondering if engraved extremely clean 1914 30 inch G & S Holloway side by side is a good gun.

The Cos is certainly a beautiful and fantastic shotgun, also $100K less expensive than a Purdey 🤣

I'm curious, if you fed it low-end cartridges and it jammed, how would you fix it?

Lovely bit of kit. I want one lol. Would bywell allow me to have a shot????? Great video was a pleasure to finally meet you at the northern. Hope you're keeping safe and well all the best from Scotland cheers

So there she is!!! Beautiful!! I’ll trade ya a Garand🤓🤓

Its was great to bump into you at Barbury Shooting School, and the irony of getting home to see todays KZfaq 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 :-).

Looks very clumsy to load, let alone when it gets hot 🤔 But definitely a work of art Cheers 🍻

Lovely engineering but ludicrously complex. The internal cocking lever is just weird.

It belongs on a game day. I hope to see it put to proper use soon.

Nighthawk Custom in the United States are importing these. Check them out , they have some pretty cool stuff!!

10:46 'Having spoken to people who have owned a Cosmo longer than I have'…...Definitely NOT your gun though! Blame Sasha!! 😂😂

The best semi-autos have to be piotti by Benelli. I think the minimum barrier to entry is around 25K retail. Fully hand engraved, colour cased hardened or blued actions. Exhibition walnut :) Go have a look around the beretta gallery in London :D

How you fit seven shells in there?

Nobody knows them in the US and can be had for a great price!

Wouldn’t be taken that on the foreshore 😂

You've just cost me a load more money.. Time to book a target shotgun course, and put in for a variation.

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

Jonny - have you got your LW hat on that wall of the tour behind you?

Bit like a Volvo T5 , not exactly a looker but fantastic engineering. Glad you've not got one of your dream guns Jonny.

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

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

It's like if Panerai made a firearm.

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.

I’d rather say the best made semi automatic shotgun is the Ithaca model 900

I get the feeling the man doth protest too much, as regards to the ownership of said gun! Johnny seems to recant the phrase 'its not mine, I'm not allowed any more guns' lol.

Please no more cosmi reviews, I need to stay married. She has made it clear that a cosmi means my days are numbered.

What money is one of these worth?

As an engineer . . .that looks like a kluge . . .

I’ve never wanted a semi auto……..but now………..

Lol. Rolex. 🎉 This is not going in the duck boat.

Been a while since Jonny's got his hands dirty🤣 time for a cheep to charming for us poor plebs to have something attainable to aspire to 🤣🤣🤣.

Rather unique, but not totally unique. For me it comes down to reliability under the riggers of a serious target shooter who shoots at 3000 targets in competition and another 4000 targets in practice. Nice shooting by the way!

I'll take my A5.

You have perfectly described all the reasons I will pass on one of these.

Wow, I'm glad this is "lovely" to someone. To me it's a terrible waste of a beautiful piece of walnut.

👍👌👌

Finest semi auto is the world is the browning auto 5

Didn't you just anoint Benelli as having/making the greatest semi-autos?

Why the flag in the background ?

"... 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.

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.

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.

Dont agree tukish you must include value

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

It's grotesque. I'll take a Super X-1, 1100, 1187 or A-5 any day of the week over this gaudy, ridiculous piece of Guido junk.
