When reliability matters most, professionals choose proven systems that perform under pressure. For defense and duty roles, a semiautomatic shotgun that cycles cleanly, handles hard use, and offers quick follow-up shots is a critical tool in the kit. The following breakdown covers the controls, operating system, and practical applications that make this platform a go-to for police and military operators.

BENELLI M2 TACTICAL PISTOL GRIP

The M2 Tactical is built around Benelli’s Inertia Driven system, a mechanically simple recoil-operated cycling method that converts recoil energy to reliably cycle the action. That design minimizes the maintenance demands and the weather-related malfunctions commonly associated with gas-operated shotguns—precisely why agencies worldwide put the Benelli name on duty belts.

Key features and field advantages

Chambered for 12GA. 3″ shells, the M2 Tactical balances ammunition versatility and terminal effectiveness for close-quarters defense and entry work. The 7-round magazine tube gives users immediate capacity advantage without sacrificing handling. At $1549.99, the platform represents a duty-grade balance of durability and capability.

Controls and ergonomics

This configuration uses a black synthetic pistol grip stock for secure, repeatable handling in dynamic scenarios. Oversized controls—bolt handle, bolt release, and safety button—are designed for gloved operation and fast manipulation under stress. Ghost-ring sights provide a quick sight picture for point-of-aim engagements while keeping sight radius practical for close work.

Barrel, choke, and patterning

The M2 Tactical ships with CRIO chokes in IC, M, and F configurations, allowing operators to tailor patterns from close defensive spreads to tighter intermediate options for breaching or specialty loads. CRIO chokes are designed to produce consistent, tight patterns for improved first-shot effectiveness.

Benelli’s reputation and the model’s “Various” configuration options make it adaptable for departments and teams that require specific sighting, stock, or accessory choices. As a Semi Auto in the tactical category, it provides fast follow-up capability without the fouling issues of gas systems.
