Easton, Md. (February 2025) – Breda America Group (Breda AG), a division of Banshee Brands Inc., is proud to announce its participation in the Sports, Inc. 2025 February Outdoor Show in Phoenix, Arizona, Feb. 12 – 14, 2025. Attendees are invited to visit Booth 1225 at the Phoenix Convention Center to explore Breda’s renowned shotguns, crafted with precision engineering and first-class materials for superior performance, reliability, and durability.
“Our presence at Sports, Inc. underscores Breda’s dedication to delivering world-class firearms to independent sporting goods retailers,” said JP Fischer, VP of Sales for Banshee Brands, Inc. “With a legacy built on innovation and excellence, Breda continues to raise the bar for hunters and shooting enthusiasts who demand the best.”
Breda AG’s premier showcase at the event is the B3.5SM Waterfowl Hunting Series, which embodies the brand’s commitment to innovation and tradition. The B3.5SM continues the legacy of the inertia action with a rotating bolt, first patented by Bruno Civolani in the 1960s and later licensed to Benelli Armi Spa, of which Breda was an owner. This groundbreaking design, popularized under the “Super Black Eagle” name in the US market in 1991, remains a benchmark for waterfowl hunters seeking a high-performance, dependable shotgun.

Breda has refined and modernized this legendary platform with cutting-edge advancements that make the B3.5SM a superior choice for today’s hunters. Featuring a precision-drilled barrel made from Breda’s proprietary “Acciao Breda” carbon alloy steel, this shotgun ensures minimal expansion under extreme conditions, resulting in consistent shot patterns. The durable two-piece receiver, a Breda innovation dating back to 1947, enhances both longevity and ease of maintenance. Additionally, its compatibility with multiple cartridge sizes (3.5,” 3”, and 2.75”) offers unmatched versatility for various hunting applications. Available in finishes such as Mossy Oak Bottomland and RealTree Max-7 Camouflage, the B3.5SM ensures hunters are well-equipped for any environment.
With a heritage spanning more than 120 years, Breda has earned a global reputation for excellence in firearms manufacturing. From the battlefields of World War I to the hunting grounds of North America, Breda shotguns have been forged through meticulous craftsmanship and technological innovation. Today, Breda remains the premier choice for military, law enforcement, competitive shooters, and hunters worldwide, ensuring every firearm meets the highest standards of performance and safety.
