Benelli expands its Ethos shotgun series for 2026, introducing six new models with Advanced Impact (A.I.) barrels designed for enhanced performance. The new Ethos Cordoba line includes 20- and 28-gauge options, while the Ethos Upland A.I. adds a 28-gauge model, both featuring advanced recoil reduction and durable finishes.
Benelli states ” Long regarded as a favorite among hunters and sport shooters who value classical shotgun lines paired with refined semi-automatic performance, the Benelli Ethos enters 2026 with a decisive evolution. Benelli expands the Ethos lineup with six new models featuring Advanced Impact (A.I.) barrels—a groundbreaking barrel design engineered to produce denser pellet columns while increasing velocity and impact energy for commanding performance on clays and game birds.
New for 2026, the Ethos Cordoba line has been rounded out with the addition of 20- and 28-gauge A.I. barrels finished in Benelli’s highly durable matte black BE.S.T. coating. Each Cordoba model is equipped with Benelli controls and Crio A.I. chokes, reinforcing the line’s reputation for reliability in demanding environments. The addition of the 28-gauge marks the first sub-gauge A.I. model in the Cordoba series.
Rounding out the expansion is the new Ethos Upland A.I., representing the first sub-gauge chambering within the Ethos Upland family. The 28-gauge model joins the existing 12- and 20-gauge Upland A.I. shotguns, all featuring Benelli’s Progressive Comfort recoil-reduction system and elegant AA-grade satin walnut furniture. Like the Cordoba models, the Ethos Upland A.I. is protected by Benelli’s rugged BE.S.T. finish in gloss black.”
