The Franchi Affinity 3 builds on a proven inertia-driven platform with refined ergonomics and enhanced handling for improved pointability and balance in the field. Updated grip and forend checkering offer a more secure hold in slick conditions, while an enlarged trigger guard and redesigned bolt-release button improve operation when wearing gloves or in low-light environments. A new two-piece shell latch enhances loading and unloading efficiency, maintaining the fast-cycling performance and reliability expected from Franchi’s Italian-crafted semi-automatic shotguns.
