Description
The Benelli M3 Tactical gives you two shotguns in one. A twist of the ring at the front of the forend switches it between Benelli’s inertia-driven semi-automatic action and manual pump operation. Run it as a fast-cycling semi-auto with standard loads, or switch to pump to cycle light less-lethal rounds, specialty shells or low-recoil loads that would not run a semi-auto reliably. That flexibility is why the M3 has served with police and security units for years.
This model has a black synthetic stock with a pistol grip, ghost ring sights for fast, precise aiming with slugs and buckshot, and a 19.75" barrel with a fixed Cylinder bore. It chambers 2-3/4" and 3" shells and holds 5+1 rounds. The anodized receiver and matte blued barrel are built for hard use. Order online and pick it up at Brute Dynamics in Thousand Oaks, CA once your DROS clears.
