The Benelli M2-G1 12 Gauge Tactical Shotgun
Benelli has methodically-designed and laid out the M2-G1 to be a winner from the outset, and this includes several elements that are a decent upgrade from any of their legacy shotgun models. You are looking at improved loading attributes (beveled loading port), the equally newly announced gas system (RPO), and other characteristics that might motivate you to make the switch. Some of those most enticing features for the M2-G1 tactical shotgun are listed below as presented by Benelli:
- Beveled Loading Port – Faster, more efficient reloads
- Rear Piston Operated (R.P.O.) Gas System – Cleaner, more controlled operation
- Dual Short-Stroke Pistons – Positioned near the chamber to reduce fouling exposure
- Enlarged Controls – Faster, smoother manipulation
Current Models
All of the available models at the outset of this announcement are chambered in 12 Gauge while sporting an 18 ½” barrel. The retail price-points vary quite a bit depending on the colorway that you choose and your favorite stock configuration: fixed or collapsible.
A Word from Benelli on the New M2-G1 12 Gauge
“The all-new Benelli M2-G1 delivers a cleaner, more controlled approach to tactical performance through Benelli’s new Rear Piston Operated (R.P.O.) system. Designed around dual short-stroke pistons positioned closer to the chamber, the M2-G1 reduces fouling, improves long-term consistency, and delivers the rugged reliability expected from Benelli. Combined with aggressive tactical ergonomics, a 5-position collapsible stock, upgraded pistol grip, and extended 7+1 capacity, the M2-G1 is built to perform when everything is on the line.”
