Another current production 9mm shotgun is made in Italy by Vincenzo Bernardelli. They call it a “Giardino,” which is Italian for “gardener.” This is a semiautomatic with a three-round box magazine. It uses a simple blowback action, just like .22 LR Rifles. This model appears in the 2010 Standard Catalog of Firearms with a value range of $100- $600, depending on condition. [Editor’s Note: A fine book! We’re personally acquainted with its author. -DMS] It is in the U.S. catalogs of a few importers and has a MSRP of close to $800, the weak US dollar being mostly responsible for the seemingly unreasonable high price.
