Traditional elegance, renewed for today's upland shooter.
Accokeek, MD — For 2026, Benelli updates one of its most enduring upland designs with the release of the #10931 and #10935 Montefeltro Silver semi-automatic shotguns. Gracefully modernized while remaining true to its classical roots, the Montefeltro Silver blends beauty, elegant handling, and the proven reliability of Benell's Inertia Driven® system – an ideal choice for shooters devoted to traditional upland sporting arms.
Both the 12- and 20-gauge Montefeltro Silver models feature newly engraved brushed nickel alloy receivers with gold accents. The 12-gauge, 28-inch configuration carries an upland motif highlighted by gold pheasants, while the 20-gauge, 26-inch variant presents gold quail set within a pastoral scene—each evoking the heritage and rhythm of classic field shooting.
Complementing the detailed engraving are carefully considered aesthetic and ergonomic refinements, including the sleek, modernized receiver design and slimmer stock and forend, first introduced with the start of the Montefeltro refresh in 2023. Together, these elements pair with the classic gold-finished trigger, gloss nickel bolt and bolt handle, and gloss blue barrel to reinforce the Montefeltro Silver's restrained elegance while maintaining its unmistakable Benelli character.
Each shotgun is stocked in rich AA-grade satin walnut, paired with Benelli's Easy-Locking Inertia Bolt and Easy-Loading systems for confident operation in the field. A red-bar front sight crowns the deep gloss blue barrel, delivering fast-on-target performance. Both models are chambered for 3-inch shotshells.
