Take the stock off and see if the receiver extension is silver. If it’s black, it’s a Cerakote model. The box should have a sticker with a model code like below; 11711 - Np3 model. 11794 or 11795 Cerakote model. I’d still lean towards a fire control issue causing the problem. I troubleshot one doing this a few years ago. If I recall, the trigger was the out of spec part. If it was the Benelli Click issue, he would hear the hammer fall when pressing the trigger and no shot would be fired since the hammer would already be lowered against the back of the bolt carrier. There might be light primer strikes on the chambered round, but not always. Also note the aftermarket handguard installation. If not properly fitted, this can cause the barrel to be out of battery slightly. The easiest way to check this is to inspect where the seat ring is on the barrel. This ring seats against the face of the receiver. If there is any gap, something isn’t right. This is assuming I read his diagnostics correctly.

It’s hard to say exactly where your problem lies without having replacement parts on hand to test. It could actually be the trigger frame itself, the trigger, hammer or disconnector. Pull the trigger pack out and cock the hammer with your thumb while pulling the trigger. See if you can get the hammer to slip past the disconnector. Then try to pull the hammer to the rear without your finger pulling the trigger and see if it slips past the trigger seer. It’s almost certainly one of those 4 components. You could buy aftermarket replacements such as the A&S trigger frame, and maybe a FFT trigger/disconnector/hammer set and swap out the parts to correct the issue. Maybe a slight chance the trigger pin bushing is bent or out of spec. My guess is Benelli would take care of you even out of warranty since the firearm isn’t safe. If not, I’d gladly take a look at the trigger pack for you - just pay return shipping. I think we could walk you thru everything yourself though.
