Benelli M Series Super 90 Shotguns

The Benelli M Series Super 90 Shotguns are a series of 12 gauge Tactical shotguns based on the H&K recoil system. The Super 90 refers to only the defense / tactical models, since Benelli does offer hunting, trap & field versions of some of the same shotguns. The only departure is the M4 which keeps the same exterior design but is a gas operated system.

The Benelli M Series Super 90 shotguns or variants has appeared in the following:

Benelli M1

Benelli M2

• Trap and Field models are made of the M2 as well as Tactical models. It is recognizable from the M1 due to the single receiver screw beneath the ejection port (the M1 has 2) and the unique foregrip (which doesn't fit on any of the other M series shotguns). Also the back of the receiver is slightly different and must have it's own buttstocks, whereas the M1 and the M3 have interchangeable foregrips and buttstocks.

Benelli M3

• The Benelli M3 is a combination pump and Semiautomatic Shotgun (12 gauge)
