This allows the shooter to safely carry a round in the chamber and fire immediately as the double-action trigger eliminates the need for cocking prior to shooting. When the trigger is pulled in the double-action-like mode, the striker is retracted then dropped, firing the gun. When the decocker is activated the striker is dropped while a small flap that contacts the firing pin is retracted. The trigger group is double-action with a decocker. The Spectre is a striker-fired blowback firearm operating from a closed bolt. The Spectre is used by the Italian special forces, and has been exported elsewhere. The largely steel Spectre has a polymer overmolded grip, magazine release and safety/selector levers. The four models have top-folding buttstocks, and were available with or without a forward handgrip ahead of the magazine housing. The Spectre is a compact and light weapon, designed for instant firepower in close combat at short ranges. Production in Italy ceased in the year 1997, with the closure of SITES, but proceeded in very small numbers in Switzerland through Greco Sport S.A., a company founded by Gritti, until 2001. It was designed by Roberto Teppa and Claudio Gritti in the mid-1980s. The Spectre M4 is an Italian submachine gun that was produced by the SITES factory in Turin.
