The inertia-driven semi-automatic action keeps the gun clean, fast, and reliable without reliance on gas ports. Hunters appreciate the 4 + 1 capacity and the oversized knurled magazine cap that speeds reloads while providing a front sling attachment point.
Benelli’s 28-inch Crio-treated steel barrel is chrome-lined, ported, and paired with an extended screw-in choke to reduce muzzle rise and maintain pattern integrity during rapid strings of fire. A 10 mm tapered ventilated rib with scalloped lightening cuts teams with a red fiber-optic front bead and steel mid-bead for quick target acquisition in any light.
The medium-gray Comfortech I stock uses chevron-shaped recoil-dampening inserts, interchangeable recoil pads, and GripTight texturing to soften felt recoil and maintain a secure hold in wet conditions. A 14.0-inch length of pull and spacer system allow tailoring the fit to the shooter.
A matte anodized aluminum receiver keeps weight low while matching the barrel’s matte black finish for a glare-free sight picture. Proof marks read “BENELLI U.S.A. CORP – ACCOKEEK, MD – MADE IN ITALY,” underscoring the shotgun’s Italian origin and U.S. import pedigree.
No longer in production, the original Cordoba offers a blend of lightweight handling, recoil management, and durability that continues to draw interest from shooters who value Benelli’s early performance-driven design.
