The Italian company Benelli Armi SpA was founded in 1967 as a "side project" of the founders of the eponymous motorcycle manufacturer. Today, Benelli self-loading shotguns are among the most famous on the market. They are made of top-quality materials such as modern technopolymers, anodized aluminium or walnut wood with various treatments. Many models offer a telescopic stock or pistol grip for unrivaled accuracy, ergonomics and comfort during shooting.

Benelli self-loading shotguns are also very popular due to the fact that they combine proven traditions with modern technologies. Shotguns use a self-regulating gas system for propulsion, which improves their accuracy, safety during shooting, and also reliability.
