        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.

        Polymer
        Reliability
        Benelli's inertia-driven operating system is one of the most proven systems on the market.
        Customization
        Stocks, forends, choke tubes, and tube extension are all available.
        Ergonomics
        The ergonomics and controls are solid, but there is no adjustable length of pull with the factory stock.
