Gaucher GN-1 Silhouette

Notes: This is a single-shot, bolt-action pistol designed for silhouette competition. The receiver is of steel, and the furniture is of wood, with an anatomical grip with finger grooves. The trigger pull is adjustable, as is the rear sight; the hooded front sight is not adjustable, but can be removed and replaced with other types of front sights.

Gaucher Phantom GP

Notes: Like the GN-1, this is a long-barreled single-shot pistol. However, it is not meant to be a competition weapon; it is a small-caliber weapon for vermin control and varmint culling. To this end, the Phantom GP has an integrated silencer. Firing standard ammunition, the noise from a shot is generally about 80 decibels; with subsonic ammunition, this falls to about 53 decibels. It should be noted that while such a weapon is permitted by law in France, other countries may prohibit it or severely restrict it. The rear sight is adjustable, as is the front sight. The weapon is also prepared for mounting a telescopic sight, and the trigger pull is adjustable.

Unique DES-32

Notes: This weapon was introduced in 1987 for use with the Centerfire FROM discipline. It is chambered for .32 Smith & Wesson Long Wadcutter, and other types of Smith & Wesson Long ammunition should not be used in it. Like many pistols of its type, it may be tweaked in several ways to individualize it to the shooter. The trigger is adjustable for pressure, pull, and stop; it has a safe dry fire mechanism; the stock is ergonomic and has an adjustable hand rest. Barrel counterweights of 90, 120, or 220 grams (one weight at a time) may be added. The rear sight is a micrometer adjustable sight. Standard FROM competitions allow a 5-round magazine; military competitions allow a 6-round magazine.

Unique DES-69

Notes: This is a specialist weapon designed for the European Standard Pistol match. The size, shape, and weight are thus all closely regulated, and the designer of the DES-69 tried to provide the most accurate weapon possible within the strictures given. It is designed to move as little as possible within the hand when cycling. Balance counterweights of 90, 120, and 220 grams are provided to balance the weapon properly in the hand (one weight may be used at a time). The trigger is adjustable for weight, pull, and reach. As with most such competition pistols, the DES-69 is not robust enough for combat use.

The DES/VO is designed for rapid-fire shooting events; it fires .22 Short ammunition.

Unique IS

Notes: This is a single-shot, break-open pistol designed for competitive silhouette shooting (target shooting at moving silhouettes of animals). The IS is designed for several calibers, and the barrels are easily removed to allow for the use of different calibers. The barrel is inserted into a polymer shroud that also serves as the sight mounts, including a front blade sight, a micrometer rear sight, and a Weaver rail. The trigger is adjustable for pressure.

A variant of the IS is the Sport, firing only rimfire cartridges. The barrel of this version cannot be interchanged with the barrels its heavier cousin, and it has a light alloy frame.
