About the Benelli M3 Tactical
The Benelli M3 Tactical is a unique convertible shotgun that can switch between semi-automatic and pump-action operation with a simple twist of the forend cap. This dual-action capability makes it ideal for law enforcement where both lethal and less-lethal ammunition types may need to be cycled reliably.
The M3's convertible action made it a favorite of tactical teams worldwide who needed to switch between standard and specialty ammunition on the fly.
