Benelli’s Ethos line of shotguns has long been regarded as a favorite among hunters and sport shooters looking for classical shotgun lines paired with refined semi-automatic performance. This line enters 2026 with a decisive evolution, as Benelli has expanded it with six new models featuring Advanced Impact barrels—a unique 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 models equipped with Advanced Impact barrels and finished in Benelli’s highly durable, matte-black BE.S.T. coating. Each Cordoba model is equipped with Benelli controls and Crio Advanced Impact chokes, reinforcing the line’s reputation for reliability in the most demanding of environments. The addition of the 28-gauge marks the first sub-gauge Advanced Impact model in the Cordoba series.
Rounding out the expansion is the new Ethos Upland Advanced Impact, representing the first sub-gauge chambering within the Ethos Upland family. This 28-gauge model joins the extant 12- and 20-gauge Upland Advanced Impact shotguns, all featuring Benelli’s Progressive Comfort recoil-reduction system and aesthetically pleasing AA-grade satin walnut furniture. Like the Cordoba models, the Ethos Upland Advanced Impact is protected by Benelli’s rugged BE.S.T. finish in gloss black.
MSRP for the new Ethos-series of shotguns ranges from $3,299 to $3,399, depending on the model and finish. For more information on Benelli USA’s full line of premium shotguns and centerfire hunting rifles, visit BenelliUSA.com.
