Benelli Executive Grade 3, 12 Gauge – 26" Barrel, 5+1 Capacity

The Benelli Executive Grade 3 represents the pinnacle of Benelli’s craftsmanship—a semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun that combines Italian elegance with battle-proven performance. Designed for shooters and collectors who demand refined aesthetics without sacrificing reliability, this model features a 26-inch barrel, 5+1 capacity, and intricate factory engraving on the receiver and trigger guard.

Benelli’s Inertia-Driven® operating system, introduced in the 1980s, revolutionized the semi-automatic shotgun market. Unlike traditional gas systems, Benelli's design uses recoil energy, resulting in a cleaner, more reliable action with fewer moving parts. This makes the shotgun easier to maintain and incredibly dependable under all conditions—whether in the field, at the range, or in competition.

The Grade 3 designation refers to the higher-grade walnut used in the stock and forend, often with rich figuring and hand-checkering. The engraving is factory-applied, often by skilled artisans in Urbino, Italy, and reflects Benelli’s dedication to blending art with engineering.
