I had the chance to play with a friend's new Chiappa Triple Threat at the range last week, so I took the opportunity to put together a video. It was intended for a different website, but they already have someone reviewing the gun - so I figured I might as well post it here. It's not a forgotten weapon yet, but I suspect it will be before too long. Not because the gun is bad - it's actually quite nice as far as I could tell. But it is definitely a niche market item, and way overpriced.
Doom guy has just confirmed his next purchase
My sentiments exactly !!!
What happens if you add one more barrel
Naw,he is getting ones with bigger and thicker barrels.
no...you can't fire all 3 barrels at once...doom slayer is going to stick to his super shotgun
Gun Shop to Doom Slayer: Will that be the two barreled shotgun with the grappling hook, or the Triple Threat?
Doom Slayer: Yes...
Say some gangsta is dissing your fly girl. You just give em one of these.
Why would you give someone a $1500 gun?
Seems like a waste of money...
I get it its because he has a double barrel shotty but fires it three times
Thank you for being top comment! I suspect this is what the gun was ACTUALLY designed for
These boomers
I hate that i have but one like to give
Ian gets sooo many bonus points for the last few seconds.
Still, double thumbs up are not yet invented so you will have to wait till 2020 (I came from the future)
“And on the third day, god created reloading”
I totally agree...Good old Joe Biden and his double barreled shotgun at the door blasting out into the night
It was a little goofy until he made the Biden comment. I actually laughed. Extra points Ian. 😁
@@piotrr5439 How's Trump's second term coming along?
Person: Hey Ian, wanna use Birdshot, Buckshot, or Slug?
Ian: Yes!
that made my day
Why are all the best punchlines variations of the Mathematician's Answer?
i think "Joe Biden said 'fire two blasts'" was even funnier.
But yes, i had to laugh several times this video 8)
the dankspacecow his bright-ass smile too...
My son , the planet or me ?
Only the slugs :)
You look so genuinely satisfied with the one-liners at the end.
I believe I know the ultimate role for this shotgun: being the best possible gun for places like the UK and Australia which have tiered licenses or separate licenses for shotguns and rifles. Basically in the UK on a shall-issue shotgun license you can have up to 3 shots loaded in the shotgun at any one time, any more than that and you have to get a Firearms License which requires, among other things, long standing club membership, a specific reason subject to great scrutiny, yadda yadda. Yeah it sucks, but the saving grace is that air rifles and shotguns can still be owned by those who aren't landed property holders (no kidding you get an FAC as the firearms license is called by default for owning rural land in most cases). So you could have a double barrel, but at the cost of the extra round which you could have in a semi or pump action. You can't have a detachable mag, so therefore this is the fastest firing shotgun you can legally own, because you can certainly jam 3 rounds in that faster than a Remington or whatever with 2+1 capability. Plus its extremely cool and seemingly extremely practical for game shooting and messing around (responsibly and legally!).
Thank you for the info even though I live in the US I like reading about other countries gun laws, which I am starting to believe that our gov is trying there best to mirror.
WHO9119 You are welcome, I don't think even the most anti-gun state has gotten anywhere near us in terms of obnoxious gun laws, though for the rifles that are legal there is no mag size limit, but sadly semi auto is legal in .22 only :(. As I said in the previous post though, very unlikely a normal person can get a rifle without long standing club membership and the associated costs and time which I can't afford to spare. I don't have a shotgun certificate solely because I rent and another requirement is a safe bolted to a concrete wall, which few landlords would allow. If they get you guys on anything, it'll be on the requirement to have such a safe, that will seem reasonable to both factions but enforcement will require a license or registration.
veryveryintense Japan is probably the closest first world country to a complete firearms ban. Very, very tight rules for firearms owners, so tight that they make U.K. laws look desirable.
@@norcofreerider604 They don't ban guns they prohibit transfer which makes owning gun is pointless if you cant give it to your kids or sell it.
and its got 3 barrels! XD

$1,500? good thing you made a video, damn right it'll be a forgotten weapon pretty soon.
Is it really that cheep, i´we expected 6000 € for a tree barrel gun.
Not even close to "cheap" its in that realm of stupid money. The cost to make these is laughable comparable to the tag. For that same money you could buy just about any tactical rifle, shotgun, or handgun. Most people would rather have three excellent guns over one toy. Or spend that money on a rare collectable toy.
To be fair, a gun that shoots trees WOULD probably be that expensive....
It's a supply and demand thing...but they probably overestimated demand, at least judging by these comments. xD
It's an awesome shotgun but, yeah, that price really ruins it.
o____O
Pretty cool, but I think I'll wait for the quadruple threat....
THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS Sextuple Threat!
DecaTHREAT!!!
SMH this escalated quickly :P I would love to see a quad though lol
WHY NOT GET A CANON!?!?!?!
***** Phantasm. . . .
The Luftwaffe triple barrel, two 12's and a 7mm were always impressive to me.
4-1/2 years later and the price has gone up. Chiappa's MSRP is $1955.00.
because its their msrp not street price. Its street price have gone down a bit but the gun is still popular in other part of the world.
I think the biggest advantage is that you can have more fire power in places like Australia that outlawed pump actions.
***** Google Port Arthur massacre and you'll know exactly why Australia has strict gun laws.
they have tightened the laws over the years.
im not a gun owner so it doesnt faze me
xaviercourtney It might when you discover you need one. I hear your violent crime statistics there are skyrocketing.
What do i need a gun for? I dont have time to go hunting or shoot targets.
Locking my front door is all i need to stay safe.
You give one person a gun and another thinks they need one to defend themselves against the other person with a gun and shazam you end up like America where every second person is carrying a gun, the more guns available to the general public = more guns available to criminals. Less guns = less chance a criminal can get hold of one.
xaviercourtney But when you say " Locking my front door is all i need to stay safe", how exactly do you manage to carry one around to the store and job, etc.? Must be tiring. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, just facetious to make a point. Now, so that I don't contribute to a total side discussion meant more for a political site, I'll give you a chance at the last word, go dark on this issue, and stick to forgotten firearms.
I dont know how but i think Ian enjoys his job.
As someone whos taking engineering, taking shit apart and seeing how it works and looking at the springs is fun, as well as finding the history behind some strange things, and shooting is nice too.

By the way, there is an old seven barreled smooth bore flint-lock gun for use ship-to-ship (nock volley gun). It fired all seven barrels at once. It was known to break shoulders, so it never became very popular in any navy.
soylentgreenb Ian just did a table top on that one April/2018
Note on the package it says:
Huge Irish Sergeant not included
*GOD!*
*SAVE!*
*IRELAND!*
I could see one of the biggest advantages is having the max shell count allowable for bird hunting. You're just as effective as anyone with a semi auto. If the price drops to $1,000 and they offer an ejector I'll buy one.
The Chiappa Triple Threat is priced at just above $2,000 USD on their site currently. Didn't go down in the least lol
Chiappa stated the purpose for a 3 barrel gun was to those who prefer a break open design but still wants the maximum number shots for waterfowl. I too want one but not at the current price in this configuration. I would like a barrel selector and possibly ejectors. From what I have seen on line the barrels always fire left, right, upper and that resets every time you open the action! If you where able to control whether to fire the top barrel first it might make a low cost drilling of sorts with a rifle barrel insert. However those change I fear would drive the price completely out of reach.
It's actually pronounced "Kiappa" and in italian means "ass-cheek". lel

@@sausagedog98 don't be such a glutissimus about it...
And it explains the stupid(ly cool) guns. The founders had a good sense of 'Yes, we're dumb and you will love it!'
Interesting story, my great grandfather had a custom drilling rifle made for him (three barrels). Before WWII ended, he was certain that Rommel would conquer Africa, so he had a custom dangerous game rifle made for him. If I remember correctly my grandfather told me that the top two barrels were .600 N/E, and the bottom was 12ga. Unfortunately the rifle was confiscated after the war, and that is considering that he was an officer.
always interesting and entertaining and I'm not a big gun guy - 3 barreled shot guns, flamethrowers , what next ?( Hi I'm Ian and this is a Polaris SLBM from the1960's) - thanks Ian
We do have a Titan missile silo as a museum not far from where I live...been planning to do a video there at some point. :)
yes, please
This gun is now in the nearly forgotten category: The importer has gotten any for over a year.
Not gotten, sorry.
Use an adapter with the third barrel and you can use rifle or pistol rounds. Makes it quite versatile for hunting.
Three shots of 12 ga as fast as you can pull the single trigger, short barrels, pistol grip. I can think of a few scenarios where this could be really useful. A lovely simple gun, no pump-action or semi-auto to mess up, and 3 shots is a charm!
_And if you can't stop a threat with three 12ga you are fighting Thanos!_
Yes.
Ian, The akkar and Chiappa Triples basically exist to get around some countries gun laws prohibiting pump or semi auto's. They can be seen as a gimmick, but do serve a surrogate purpose to get around draconian laws. Hence why, in Australia, there are lever action shotguns and these triples about.
When I first saw these, I thought they were gimmicky. Now that they are seriously for sale and not just showing off how odd they can be...I still think it is gimmicky, ha, but I must admit I did not expect all those nice features. It seems it will be a collector item only, but have some function as well. A functional collectible if you will.
I can see this being popular in Australia where they banned pump shotguns.
simonferrer I was thinking that as well. Then I thought, well, they will most likely ban it somehow anyway.
Loved the blooper reel at the end of this one. lol
The price is reasonable considering the number of parts + the complexity of manufacture + regulating three barrels. The brass spacer in the stock is very clever. Fun review! Keep up the great work!!
that continuous grain after the brass is fine quality work right there! so nice
I like this guy. He gives an informative assessment of the weapon and what to expect followed by demo. No bullshit, no endless digression from the topic, just spot on specs and demos. Thumbs up. And an awesome shotgun. Ordered one just off this demop :-)
My wife: Why do you need a shotgun with 3 barrels?!
Me: 'Cuz sometimes you got to shoot 3 Mofos, and some times you got to shoot 1 mofo 3 times.
I think if i owned this gun i would paint the high vis front-sight black everywhere but the two round surfaces (if it is a fiber optic containing sight the light only gets in at the two ends so that it wouldn't decrease visibility) because i think the gun is not bad looking except for that orange tip which makes it "cheap" looking.
Also, the idea is nice and the trigger sounds like it's really good for follow up shots, but i think having at least two triggers would have been much better because it would have allowed you to choose for exemple the two side by side barrels with your usual buckshot and a slug in the upper barrel, or even two loads of n°9 birdshot and a third with n°8 or n°6 in case the bird is a bit farther, having the trigger work barrel per barrel removes what could have been a really nice and desirable feature.
I would not have missed the opportunity to light that thing up one handed. I did it once before with a friends pump action fitted with the Pachmayr fore end and pistol grip.
Would be a great hunting shotgun for Swedish conditions since you're only allowed to load up to three shells when hunting. Barrel might be a tad short though.. Either way it looks like an awesome and dependable shotgun
Ohio has a similar law, only 3 shells in the gun. I would love to hunt dear with this!
"Hey Ian, you wanna use birdshot, buckshot, or a slug?"
"YES!" C:
If you want to take the stock off repeatedly I would simply drill out the holes for the wood screws, fit threaded inserts and use bolts instead rather than drill an extra hole in the pad.
Triple barreled break guns are fairly common in continental Europe but they usually have two shotgun barrels and one rifle barrel. They cost a bit more though.
You could easily put threaded inserts in the screw holes and use machine screws. I wonder if the removable stock could give it the ability to put a stock on to accommodate for different sized people
Load two buckshot and the third middle tube as a slug, dutch load break action and you'll be much more accurate with the slug if you load the middle tube with it since there's no offset. The takedown stock makes this gun for me, it makes the gun as short as it can legally be with three quick shots capable and no reliability issues of a semi-auto. Wax slugs and cut shells would work out of it.
TheRealColBosch There is no selection. The weapon fires in a predetermined order that is not alterable. I think it was left, right, top but i could be mistaken.
@@ADKwarriors if it's actually like that the double buckshot in the lower barrels and a slug on top is quite a good setup
8:14 "Joe Biden says fire 2 blasts" I died laughing
Very expressive the way how you went very fast on shooting !! Well done!
Bonus points for the catchphrases at the end. This thing looks awesome, hope I'm able to get my hands on one!
So the perfect "gun" for a Three Gun match ?
"It may be a little bit difficult to pinpoint what the purpose of a 3 barrel break action is"
Omar Comin!
I love the sounds of this gun doesn’t sound like a normal shotgun
You should really make more videos at a range, shooting some guns. This is the best way to familiarize with a weapon, imo.
Seems to me that it's intended as a waterfowl gun, since waterfowl shotguns are limited to three rounds by an international treaty.
Short barrel with NO chokes your so wrong it hurts
az12223 you are so wrong too.
It has Remington chokes x3
20 and 28 inch versions in Australia
was ment for turkey
@@az12223 a barrel this length isn't going to give you noticeable decrease in velocity. This gun does use choke tubes so you can adjust your pattern however you want. longer barrel can be nice for aiming but thats about it.
These guns are actually made by Akkar in Turkey for Chiappa
Watched on 14.Nov.2017 litteraly lying on the floor almost dying of laughter from those last 20 seconds or so, absolutely couldn´t hold myself, awesome
I have one of these for my girlfriend's side of the bed (I have a 590 on mine), since it's utterly simple to use and there's almost nothing to know besides point and shoot. Loaded with three Aguila Mini-buck rounds, it's a fairly soft kicker that offers three no-thought-required rounds that spread out to about the size of a softball at home defense distance (with cylinder choke) and carry about the same energy of most commercial .44 magnum loads and won't blast through a bunch of walls and cause even more problems should the worst happen and it have to be used. I got a pretty good deal on it at $700 used in perfect shape. I like it.
Love that ending! Lol
Loved the bloopers!
This is a very fun gun to shoot from the hip, and after a dozen rounds you can hit a target at ten yards with at least one shell.
Thank you once again Ian for your great reviews, body of knowledge, and just being you too :)
As a suggestion for the wood screws, I would bore the receiving holes with fine-threaded sleeves with good scoring on the outsides for grip with the epoxy (whatever)to set them in, and use an appropriate bolt (philips/slot type) instead of the screws. Just a wee thought from my pea-brain.
Actually it would not take much for the manufacturer to upgrade an obvious weakness like this, and it would not cost much for them to do so in my honest opinion. Does this make sense?
Anyhow, cheers Ian! Great review as mostly always :)
I want a break action shotgun with so many barrels its called the "fucktuple threat"
Chiappa, you heard the man. Fund thsi.
A db. barrel shotgun for personal protection is superior to a single shot shotgun. A triple barrel shotgun, for personal protection is superior to a dbl. barrel shotgun.
It's not too heavy, is very compact, and offers 3 quick, reliable shots. More barrels would add to the weight and degrade the balance. 3 barrels is practical.
so if god created reloading on day 3 does that mean he created stripper clips on day 4?
Man cannot live without strippers.
Or stripper clips.
He created the Mauser action on the first day and saw it was good. The rest was meaningless. ;)
God apparently let the ability for anybody to decently handle stripper clips die a horrible death, though.
in 20 years Ian will be a feeble old man reviewing this shotgun for a second time
Drillinge are common hunting weapons in Germany. usually one rifle and 2 shotgun barrels but you can get any combination you want.
The price for the triple threat has actually increased....
"Yes." lmao that delivery
If only it had a mechanism/select fire option for all 3 barrels at once. One of the strengths of the double barreled shotgun was being less comparable to a semi auto and more akin to one or both. Imagining 3 spreads, slugs, or anything inbetween firing in unison would be magnificent to see, even if the recoil might be a bit tight.
That thing is just perfection. Home defense, target shooting, hunting too - it's just great!
Cool freaking shotgun, loved the end montage.
1: I'm your Huckleberry.
2: You fire three shots or only 2?
3: This is my boomstick!
4: Eenie meenie miny moe!!
5: On the third day, God created reloadin! (my favorite xD)
6: We should have shotguns for this kind of deal!
7: I got three guns, one for each of ya!
8: Rule three, triple tap!
9: Joe biden says fire two blasts!
Saw a Chiappa Double barrel Side by side .410. Super light weight. Really cool. Might end up getting one.
Here is a practical not gun related tip. If you find yourself in a situation, where the screw holes have just been gnawed away from the wood, get an match or two, snap it in half and stick both of the halfs in the hole. If the secrew still feels a bit loose, put some more matches in. You can do this also with chemical fillers, if you happen to have some at home.
At first glance it looks like a 40mm M 79
I got that idea too.
that is why I clicked on the video.
The styling is kinda weird... that skeletonized action release lever just seems like it doesn't belong
Really rocking those Air Force ABU's. I didn't know they came in a left-handed version.
This is nice thanks for taken em to the range dudes
Dat end montage tho
“Joe Biden says fire three blasts!” God, how that stings today as of 2020.
even more now
@Monotech2.0 And now, assuming that new gun bill Biden's pushing for, gets passed, Biden will be coming for their guns. Thus making you the idiot.
It's a beautiful piece. And that brass band in the stock just begs for engraving, something like "From my loving wife, on our 10th Anniversary" or "Sic Semper Tyrannis".
the little 'out takes' at the end are the best.
$1500 is to much and will the gun's undoing. Too bad really since it's an interesting idea
I think I found my ideal home defense shotgun.
This over a Benelli autoloader? 🤷♂️
The tripple threat,when you want to use 3 different kind of shells at once because you couldn’t decide
The reason most SxS coach guns are 20" because of the people who want to chop the stock down to a pistol grip. It gives you the extra 2" so you don't need that extra wood behind the pistol grip to make up the mandated 26". Personally, I still chopped my Stoeger Coach Gun back to 18-1/4" because I have no plans to chop the buttstock down to a pistol grip.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Brings a smile to my face, just like BRRRRRRRT!
these things still havent went down in price. which is a shame. they would sell alot more and make more money if they lowered it down alot 600-800 would be fair but 1,500. theres ALOT better guns on the market and alot better break action shot guns, maybe not one's with 3 barrels but you have to ask your self, is that third barrel really worth triple the price. i say no. i think thats were they was going. triple barrels so triple the price lol.
mo guns I just bought two decent single barrel ones for
Yeah, $1500 is ridiculous for ANY break action. I bought a really nice Springfield side by side 12 ga. for $175.
They stopped importing them. You can now only get the ugly black poly stock version imported by Charles Dailey and those too are likely going to stop being imported due to lack of interest. You may think the price is high now, but these novelty shotguns with very low import numbers will bring a lot of money in 10-20 years from collectors.
@@ExUSSailor there are break actions that cost $100,000 break actions are they most expensive shotguns by far.
Your point?
The "third shot" in tombstone from that double barrel was the second shot from a different angle. If you look at the scene a couple of times you will see its the same dude going down in the same way in the second shot as the "third shot" but the second shot is him getting hit from the front and the "third" shot is the same guy getting hit but from the back. It's a poorly placed double take for a drama but it isn't actually the major discontinuity that some people see it as.
Unfortunately, adding barrels to a shotgun is a lot more complicated than just the price of extra materials. Getting the barrels to all work together properly adds a lot to the expense of the shotgun. Multi barrel shotguns are just disproportionately expensive compared to their firepower. Either the extra barrels are worth the price to you or they aren't. That is an evaluation that is probably just going to be more about personal preference over raw math. The heart wants what the heart wants! :P
I'd rather have 7 mossberg 88s
"joe biden said fire two blasts" has not aged well
Haha this was amazing! I honestly thought having a three-barrel shotgun would be ridiculous as soon as I seen it. Adds quite a bit of weight for just one extra shot. After watching this and seeing its features though, I really want one! Not enough to put down a grand and a half though... maaaybe $700-800. Even a grand would be pushing it I think. I mean, I got my 1896 No.1 Lee Enfield for that much which is over a century of awesome while being one of the first 8000 Lee Enfields ever made in history, and my Dec 1941 M1 Rifle for less than that. Also, I once had a crappy Marlin Model 50 12 Guage bolt action Goose gun which had a 2 round detachable mag. 2+1 for around $150 as apposed to 3 for 10x that much... Yeah, definitely over priced.
This guy is like the beard of knowledge for forgotten weapons. 👍👍👍
BOOMSTICK
So... that pistol grip only version isn't an AOW?
No, because even without the stock the overall length exceeds 26 inches
(barely).
+Forgotten Weapons the top barrel could use a barrel insert in a different caliber, then you can use it like a multi purpose Pack rifle. :)
even so who cares
If nothing else, I do love the look of this gun.
Starting to get bored shooting Foster slugs with my Mav 88 so, yeah, this looks like great fun for my shoulder! 😄😄👍🏼
These guns remind of me of stargate atlantis. The satedan military rifle is also a 3 barrel shotgun, one on top, 2 below. Wooden stock aswel. probaly coincidence
or you could spend the same amount of money on a tricked out VEPR with every gizmo in the book, or buy about six cheaper double barrel coach guns, or get a marine super 90...
Dies1r4e yes but THREE BARRELS
PaulBreenis tape the six double barrels together, have 12
5:58 that little smile conveys so much joy.
The shells hitting the ground is so satisfying
no way to fire all barrels at once?
Any weapon that fires more than 1 round per trigger pull is considered a "machine gun" or select fire weapon. That means that you must register it as such (if it is even legal near you.) With that comes paperwork, a $200 tax stamp, and months of waiting. No thanks. I would rather just pull the trigger 3 times, which does not take that long.
um, no. Double barrel shotguns fire both rounds at once. You are misinformed. It's if they fire more than one round IN SUCCESSION. In the future please do not post things you do not know about as fact.
AmoebicMagician SOME Double-barreled shotguns can fire both barrels at one time. It has to be a model with two triggers and two hammers. most modern double-barreled shotguns have one mechanical trigger that fires each barrel one at a time.
AmoebicMagician NO. Either they have one trigger that has to be pulled twice to fire both barrels, or they have 2 triggers that fire each barrel individually. You could pull both triggers at once in the case of a double trigger gun, but that is just stupid. I've done it before, and it is an easy way to take some skin off of your fingers. The main problem is the offset of the two triggers. If they were lined up next to each other it would be different, but that is not done on purpose.
Gen Scinmore That's a good point about the slam-fire.. I think they just let that slide. Only a select few shotguns are capable of that, with the most common being the Winchester model 1897. I think the other older models capable of slam-firing were only able to do so in their military version, though obviously those are available for purchase now by civilians.
The "Joe Biden" mention had my laughing way too hard. Keep up the Fire!
I really, honestly, seriously want one of these but even for the coolness factor, 1500 bucks is a LOT for a shotgun like that, even one that is as well-built as that one probably is.
I always admired the Lutwaffen Pilots weapon with the 7mm? over the double 12g.
