There’s no second-place winner in a gunfight,” is an old saying, but for those shouldering Defense and Law Enforcement responsibilities, this is more than just a saying—it’s a way of life. Firearms reliability is paramount when you walk the mean streets or in a CQB scenario.
Benelli understands how crucial it is when your life depends on the gun you hold in your hands.
When it comes to shotguns, Benelli delivers the reliability on which, you can depend. Whether it’s the Nova’s pump-action, the M2 A1’s Inertia Driven® system or the M4 A1’s A.R.G.O system, Benelli has the shotgun that will meet your needs and satisfy your demands.
Benelli has even developed the M3 A1’s convertible system that offers the option of switching between pump-action and semi-auto operation depending on the job at hand.
