Benelli M2 Tactical 12GA 3" 18.5" Black 5+1 Semi-Auto Shotgun w/ Pistol Grip 11052

Benelli M2 Tactical 12GA 18.5" Semi-Auto Shotgun with Pistol Grip | 11052

The Benelli M2 Tactical 11052 is a lightweight 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun built around fast handling, simple operation, and Benelli's proven Inertia Driven system. This configuration combines an 18.5-inch barrel, 3-inch chamber, 5+1 capacity, black synthetic pistol-grip stock, ghost-ring sights, and a drilled-and-tapped receiver for optics mounting.

Compared with the gas-operated M4, the M2 takes a different approach. Its recoil-operated action eliminates the conventional gas system, helping keep the shotgun relatively light and the action clean while retaining the fast cycling expected from a tactical semi-auto.

Benelli Inertia Driven System

The M2 Tactical operates with Benelli's Inertia Driven system. The action is built around three primary components: the bolt body, inertia spring, and rotating bolt head.

Rather than routing propellant gases into the action, the system uses recoil energy to cycle the shotgun. This keeps gas and powder residue out of the operating mechanism and reduces the amount of fouling that reaches the action during use.

18.5" Tactical Barrel

The 11052 uses an 18.5-inch barrel, keeping the shotgun compact and quick to maneuver while retaining a full-size shoulder-fired configuration.

The 3-inch chamber allows the M2 Tactical to use compatible 2¾-inch and 3-inch 12-gauge ammunition within Benelli's specifications.

Pistol-Grip Stock

This version of the M2 Tactical is equipped with a black synthetic pistol-grip stock. The pistol grip provides a positive firing-hand position while keeping the stock configuration simple and durable.

For buyers comparing M2 Tactical models, the stock is an important distinction. Manufacturer part number 11052 identifies the pistol-grip configuration rather than the alternate straight-stock versions of the M2.

5+1 Magazine Capacity

The 11052 uses a tubular magazine with a listed 5+1 capacity, providing a practical factory setup without adding unnecessary length to the front of the shotgun.

The magazine configuration works well with the 18.5-inch barrel to maintain the M2 Tactical's compact overall profile.

Ghost-Ring Sights

The M2 Tactical 11052 is equipped with ghost-ring sights, providing a clear and familiar tactical sight picture.

The rear aperture and front sight offer a more defined aiming reference than a traditional field bead while remaining quick to acquire.

Optics-Ready Receiver

The receiver is drilled and tapped for a compatible scope base or optics mounting system. This gives the shooter a straightforward path to adding a red-dot sight or other compatible optic while retaining the factory ghost-ring sights.

Lightweight Tactical Configuration

At approximately 6.7 pounds, the M2 Tactical is notably light for a full-size semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun. Combined with its 18.5-inch barrel and Inertia Driven action, that keeps the platform quick to shoulder and easy to move with.

For shooters who prefer a lighter tactical semi-auto and do not require the gas-operated system of the M4, the M2 Tactical offers a very different feel while remaining built around proven Benelli engineering.
