The Benelli M2-G1 Tactical in Flat Dark Earth Cerakote (item 11617) is a 12-gauge duty-style autoloader with an 18.5-inch barrel and a 7+1 extended magazine. It uses Benelli’s Rear Piston Operated (R.P.O.) gas system, which collects gas near the chamber and parks the recoil spring in the stock rather than on the magazine tube.

A five-position telescoping stock with pistol grip sets length of pull from 9 1/4 to 14 inches. Ghost-ring sights and a Picatinny rail cover both iron-sight and optic use. M-Lok slots on the forend, QD sling points, enlarged controls, a beveled loading port, and a ramped trigger guard are built for gloved, high-tempo loading.

Chambering is 2 3/4- and 3-inch 12 gauge. The factory choke is Modified. Receiver and barrel are FDE Cerakote over a black synthetic stock. Parkerized bolt, drilled and tapped receiver, right-hand.
