Armi Sport de Chiappa, is an Italian firearms manufacturing company based in Brescia. It was founded in 1958 by Ezechiele Chiappa as Armi Sport. Chiappa worked alone initially, but as word spread about the quality of his guns, he expanded the company to meet demand. Their logo stamp is a circle with the letters "AC" inside

From 1958 to 1962, Armi Sport made only one firearm: the Corsair pistol. In 1962, the Kentucky pistol was added to the product line. Success breeds success, and in 1963 Kentucky rifles were also added to the line. Still owned by the Chiappa family today, the group includes the companies Chiappa Firearms Srl (production of firearms for defense, for sporting activities and reproductions of historical firearms), the company Kimar (production of blank and signal pistols), the company ACP (training systems), Costa Srl (metal surface treatments) and the company Chiappa Firearms USA Ltd (distribution in America).
