Benelli M2 18.5" 12GA Semi-Auto Shotgun w/ Comfortech & Ghost Ring Sights

Benelli M2 Tactical 12GA 18.5" Semi-Auto Shotgun with ComforTech & Ghost-Ring Sights | 11043

The Benelli M2 Tactical 11043 is a lightweight 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun built around fast handling, straightforward operation, and Benelli's proven Inertia Driven system. This configuration combines an 18.5-inch barrel, 3-inch chamber, 7+1 capacity, black synthetic ComforTech stock, ghost-ring sights, and an optics-ready receiver.

For shooters who want a tactical Benelli without moving to the heavier gas-operated M4 platform, the M2 offers a noticeably different feel. Its inertia-operated action keeps the shotgun light and mechanically simple while the ComforTech stock provides a traditional stock profile with integrated recoil management.

Benelli Inertia Driven System

The M2 Tactical uses Benelli's Inertia Driven operating system. Rather than directing propellant gases into the action, the system uses recoil energy to cycle the shotgun.

This keeps combustion residue away from the operating components and helps simplify routine cleaning and maintenance. The absence of a conventional gas system also contributes to the M2's relatively light overall weight and quick handling.

ComforTech Stock

The 11043 is equipped with Benelli's black synthetic ComforTech stock rather than the pistol-grip stock found on other M2 Tactical configurations.

ComforTech incorporates recoil-management features directly into the stock while maintaining a traditional shotgun grip and shoulder position. For shooters who prefer conventional stock geometry, this is one of the key differences between the 11043 and other M2 Tactical models.

18.5" Tactical Barrel

The 18.5-inch barrel keeps the M2 Tactical compact and maneuverable while retaining a full-size shoulder-fired configuration.

The 3-inch chamber allows the shotgun to use compatible 2¾-inch and 3-inch 12-gauge ammunition within Benelli's specifications.

7+1 Magazine Capacity

The 11043 is configured with an extended tubular magazine providing a listed 7+1 capacity.

That higher-capacity factory configuration is an important distinction when comparing M2 Tactical part numbers, since other versions of the platform are offered with shorter magazine systems.

Ghost-Ring Sights

The M2 Tactical 11043 is equipped with ghost-ring sights, providing a clear and familiar tactical sight picture.

The aperture-style rear sight and front sight give the shooter a more defined aiming reference than a traditional field bead while remaining fast to acquire.

Optics-Ready Receiver

The M2 Tactical receiver is drilled and tapped for installation of a compatible scope base or optics mount.

This gives the shooter a straightforward path to mounting a red-dot sight or other compatible optic while retaining the factory ghost-ring sight system.

Crio Barrel & Choke System

The M2 Tactical incorporates Benelli's Crio barrel and choke technology. Cryogenic treatment is used as part of Benelli's barrel-manufacturing process and allows the shotgun to use interchangeable Crio choke tubes.

This configuration is supplied with Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full Crio chokes, giving the shooter additional flexibility for different loads and applications.

Lightweight Tactical Configuration

At approximately 6.7 pounds, the M2 Tactical remains notably light for a full-size semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun.

Combined with the 18.5-inch barrel and traditional ComforTech stock, that reduced weight gives the 11043 a quick, responsive feel that separates it from heavier tactical semi-auto platforms.
