at present, breda shotguns are famous throughout italy and europe because of their innovative design features, the quality of the materials used, and their pure aesthetic beauty. breda shotguns are also known for the durability and simplicity of their inertia operating system. unlike any other semiautomatic shotgun on the market, breda shotguns are handmade in small quantities with meticulous attention being given to every detail. for example, every breda shotgun barrel is slowly drilled from a solid bar of tri-alloy steel. it takes approximately 50 minutes to drill the bore of just one barrel. every rib of every barrel is hand fit before being hard soldered to the barrel using pure silver. because of this attention to detail, it takes approximately 50 days to make a small batch of shotgun barrels. the receivers of breda's premium models are hand engraved by diego bonsi of b&b incisioni and bottega di giovanelli. these are the same engravers contracted by manufacturers selling shotguns for many times the price.
