The next generation of Inertia Plus™ Shotguns combines advanced features and customization at a price that makes it obtainable.
RETAY USA, a Banshee Brands LLC, brand and the North American sales and distribution for RETAY ARMS, makers of innovative shotguns, is proud to introduce the Air Control Extreme (ACE), the next generation in Inertia Plus™ shotguns, designed specifically to meet the needs of the most demanding waterfowl hunters. Built on the legacy of the Masai Mara and enhanced with 16 all-new performance features, the ACE is engineered to deliver reliability, innovation, and value. Available in Summer 2025, this new offering will be on display at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 21 – 24, 2024, at RETAY USA’s Booth 70743 in Caesars Forum.
Everyone has different tastes, so RETAY made the ACE in a style to suit the individual shooter’s preference. The ACE lineup includes two distinctive receiver designs – a standard “slope back” receiver and a slight “humpback” version called the TYPE-R – allowing hunters to choose the style that best fits their preference. Both designs share the same premium features and internal parts with only a slight difference in appearance, as the ACE TYPE-R features a slightly raised receiver for enhanced handling.
“The ACE and ACE TYPE-R were created with our customer’s needs in mind, combining the features they loved about our Masai Mara with significant upgrades that elevate the hunting experience,” commented Christian Handy, CEO of Banshee Brands, Inc. “With the ACE, we’ve delivered a premium shotgun that is not only highly functional but also accessible for hunters of all levels.”
The improved light load cycling ensures consistent performance across the broadest range of shells of any RETAY shotgun. The cut-out loading port facilitates easy and quick reloading, while the improved Inertia Plus blot design enhances reliability and reduces cycling friction. The ACE is compatible with Benelli extended magazine tubes and Crio Plus chokes, offering greater versatility. The stainless steel recoil buffer spring ensures long-term durability and corrosion resistance.
The recoil-reducing “Airy” Recoil Pad, combined with a soft stock comb pad, reduces felt recoil by 30 percent for a more comfortable shooting experience. The receiver is drilled and tapped to accept Benelli rail mounts, allowing for easy installation of scopes or red dot sights. The redesigned ergonomic stock and forend provide a more comfortable and secure grip. The adjustable length of pull, utilizing the Airy Pad System, allows for customization to fit different shooters. The oversized easy-grip forend cap enhances control and maneuverability.
The reversible safety button is easily adaptable for left- or right-handed users. The redesigned oversized charging handle offers improved leverage and ease of operation. The no-snag buffer tail prevents the buffer from snagging on clothing or gear. Finally, the oversized bolt release provides a larger target for quick and positive operation.
The ACE and ACE TYPE-R are available in 12GA 3.5,” 20GA 3,” and 28GA 3” configurations, with a choice of drilled 28” or 26” barrels featuring optimized forcing cones. The MSRP starts at $1,049, making this advanced shotgun an attainable option for waterfowl enthusiasts everywhere. Both models come with RETAY’s limited lifetime warranty, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
