Company History



Fifty years ago Armi Sport, the foundation of the Chiappa Firearms group, was born.

1958 marked the beginning of an important era in the production of Italian firearms and replica products. Today, the Chiappa Firearms group is a solid and fluent reality, with a commitment to shooting enthusiasts offering a wide variety of high quality products worldwide.

Chiappa Firearms products have established the reputation of precision craftsmanship with a fine eye for historical accuracy and detail. Over the past fifty years Chiappa Firearms has evolved through experience and a commitment to its customers to uniquely blend old world hand craftsmanship with the most modern of machining technology. This blend of craftsmanship and technology has yielded treasures of the past which are truly antique art in the form of arms.

During the past fifty years Chiappa Firearms has been able to overcome difficult challenges and pursue ambitious goals, with the constant focus on offering a product of value for shooters and collectors of historical guns.

The root of this growth has been two great companies: Armi Sport and Kimar.

Armi Sport snc, with its birth in the WWII postwar period, rapidly established itself as an Italian leader in historical firearm reproduction. During Armi Sport’s adolescence, Kimar was born, not to fulfill a void in the market, but to create a totally new market and trend in firearm reproduction. Kimar is now recognized internationally for the high quality of their blank firing, signal guns and replica firearms.
