Although the Pistollo 77 features an unconventional appearance, it is a well-thought-out design. The upper surface of the handguard conceals an unobtrusive charging handle that is equally convenient to operate with either the left or right hand.
The safety is conveniently positioned and features a low-angle throw. The magazine release is located on both the left and right sides, while the magazine itself is fitted with a housing that matches the carbine’s aesthetics. A bolt release is positioned on the underside of the handguard.
The stock is aligned in line with the barrel, which certainly aids in recoil control. It is also telescopic, allowing the firearm to be adjusted to the user’s preferences.
Despite its unusual design, the Pistollo 77 makes a very positive impression. Its distinctive, geometric shapes can be misleading – it is in fact a very comfortable and well-handling firearm.
