Detailed Features 

The double trigger gives each barrel a dedicated trigger, which is the traditional configuration for a side-by-side. At 6.39 lbs the gun is easy to carry, which matters on a full day of upland hunting. Five TC XP50 chokes are included for versatility across different loads and game. The color case hardened receiver adds to the visual character typical of Italian field guns. 
 

Usage 

The Iside is well-suited for upland game and small game hunting. The 16-gauge is a practical choice for hunters who want lighter loads without dropping to 20-gauge performance. It also works for clay target shooting, particularly for traditional-minded shooters who prefer a side-by-side over an over/under.

F.A.I.R. Iside owners tend to be enthusiasts who specifically sought out a traditional Italian side-by-side, and the feedback reflects that. Woodwork quality and metal finish receive consistent praise. The color case hardened receiver and walnut stock combination draws comparisons to more expensive European guns.

Handling and balance are commonly cited strengths. The light weight makes it comfortable to carry all day in the field, and the 28-inch barrel swings naturally on birds. Upland hunters in particular find the 16-gauge chambering a practical middle ground.

Parts availability and service access come up as practical concerns, as F.A.I.R. has a smaller presence in the US market than mainstream brands. A few buyers factor that into their purchase decision. Price is viewed as reasonable for the quality level, though some compare it to domestic alternatives before committing.
