About the Benelli Vinci

The Benelli Vinci is a 12-gauge inertia-driven semi-automatic shotgun introduced in 2009. It broke from a century of one-piece autoloader design by splitting into three tool-lessly assembled modules: a barrel/receiver group, a trigger-group fore-end with a snap-in aluminum magazine tube, and a self-contained recoil-spring buttstock. Its In-Line Inertia Driven System placed the recoil spring and guide rod at the 12-o'clock position inside a cylindrical receiver, paired with ComforTech recoil reduction and the adjustable QuadraFit stock.

The Vinci was Benelli's first in-line inertia-driven shotgun, splitting into three modules that snap together by hand in seconds with no tools, guided by white alignment dots on the stock, receiver, and fore-end.

The standard Vinci was largely superseded by the 3.5-inch-magnum-capable Super Vinci (2011) and the Vinci Tactical (2014), which adds LPA ghost-ring sights and a Picatinny optics rail with an 18.5-inch (470 mm) barrel.
