January 2025, Accokeek, MD – Coinciding with the introduction of Benelli’s third-generation Nova pump shotgun platform, Benelli is offering three new defensive shotguns in its Nova 3 series for 2025 based on the upgraded design.
Available in Black and MultiCam® Black, the all-new Nova 3 Pump Tactical (#21500 and #21505) and Nova 3 Pump Defense (#20580) shotguns are built around Benelli’s new Poly-Mod platform, which integrates the receiver and buttstock as a solid, one-piece, corrosion-proof framework to deliver the kind of fast-handling and ultra-rigid foundation demanded of a workhorse defensive firearm.
Further, the Ergo-Evolved Diamond Grip texturing and aggressive ribbing on the forend ensures maximum weapon retention and positive cycling in any condition or situation. Combined with the incorporated Magpul® M-LOK attaching points and flush QD sling cups on models #21500 and #21505, these shotguns provide exceptional handling characteristics and customization options to meet various applications and accessory needs.
Offered in 12-gauge 3-inch chambers, the new Nova 3 defensive shotguns exhibit a 14% shorter cycling stroke compared to the original Nova platform. Add in the beveled loading port, robust M4 bolt face, and 18.5-inch M4 barrel ballistics on models #21500 and#21505, these shotguns deliver rugged and reliable defense performance at an exceptional price value.
All Nova 3 Tactical models come with additional features like a protected ghost ring adjustable rear sight and impact-resistant front post sight, a comfortable buttpad for maximum recoil mitigation and faster sight reacquisition, a forend magazine cutoff button that allows for chamber clearing without releasing the next round from the magazine, and drilled and tapped receivers for optic mounting.
Weighing an easy-handling 5.9 pounds and providing 4+1 shotshell capacity, the new Nova 3 Tactical shotguns stand ready for any defensive encounter.
