Instinct Catalyst
Italian tradition and Fine Craftsmanship
The Itailian tradition and craftsmanship of the Franchi Instinct series, fully re-imagined in an innovative, affordable, over & under built specifically for women. Like its sister, the Affinity Catalyst, our Instinct Catalyst's stock has been redesigned with a drop, cast, pitch, LOP and grip length that better aligns with a women's body. Red, fiber-optic front sights put eyes on target quickly and confidently, with a classic, A-Grade satin walnut finish that looks just right, as well. Much more than just a shorter stock dressed in pink, this is a shotgun that immediately feel right in the hands and on the shoulder of today's women shooters.
A gold-inlaid Franchi logo adorns the Instinct SL Catalyst's trigger guard. The aluminum receiver significantly reduces the firearm's weight.
The color case-hardened receiver provides for greater strength and durability while showcasing a refined and traditional look.
The gun's underside features an engraved "Franchi" logo and classic, subtle engraving. The presentation is finished with a beautifully crafted trigger guard with gold Franchi "F" logo.
The slim and tapered forend features cut checkering and was purposefully designed for heightened ergonomic performance and comfort in all shooting applications.
Every Franchi Over/Under comes standard with a recoil pad to promote shooting comfort with heavier loads and during long days in the field.
