- ✗More recoil than gas-operated shotguns
Editor’s Note: The Benelli M2 Tactical takes Benelli's proven inertia-driven shotgun and flexes it into a lightweight, tactical role. At only 6.7 pounds, the M2 Tactical is easy to carry on duty all day but still keeps recoil to a manageable level for a good shooting experience. The 18.5-inch barrel still allows for the use of Crio choke tubes, providing flexibility in the gun's intended role. This 5+1 capacity shotgun is ready for any tactical application.

FINAL VERDICT
Is it a Benelli M4? No. Is it a great shotgun? Absolutely. The Benelli M2 Tactical is a great option for those who want the soft-shooting characteristics and legendary reliability offered by Benelli but without paying the tacticool tax for a Benelli M4. It's lightweight, reliable, and serves well in its intended role as a tactical shotgun. The ability to retain the use of chokes on an 18.5-inch barrel is a huge plus for me.
