Gary H Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hi Guys anyone own or have shot a Franchi Fast Pro inertia semi auto 12 gauge. At the moment i have a franchi raptor 712 gas operated but my partner finds it a little heavy, problem is i cant find any dealers who have a demonstrator gun that i can try first. I am slightly concerned that the lighter gun will significantly increase the recoil which although the gun may be lighter she will find too punchy in the shoulder area Comments please from anyone familiar with the Franchi fast pro.

Gordon R Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I used a friend's about six weeks ago. Very little recoil. Felt about the same as a Beretta Teknys, but far less than a Benelli. Looked well put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Logic Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 The franchi fast IS a benelli. The one I saw recently even had benelli stamped on it IIRC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it is the benelli action but at a cheaper price (aren't they all part of beretta?) was hoping to find someone who owned or had used the Franchi.
