Key features and tactical advantages

The Tradesman 2 centers on a ported barrel to reduce muzzle rise and a Benelli(R) Mobil choke system that lets you tailor shot patterns for range and role. Its white dot front sight paired with a ghost ring rear sight offers fast, instinctive target acquisition in close quarters. The tactical enhancements—extended bolt release, enhanced charging handle, and quad-cut receiver—improve reload speed and handling under stress.

Reliability: dual-piston system

The self-regulated dual-piston system smooths operation across loads and reduces sensitivity to ammunition variance. For users who value a gun that runs through different rounds without constant tuning, this design is a major plus.

Capacity and mounting

With a 5+1 capacity and a faux extension tube, the Tradesman 2 balances legal compliance with practical capacity. A QD cup mount lets you attach slings quickly for patrol, range, or transport setups.
