Benelli M4 Tactical Shotgun: Non Accettare Sostituti!
Looking for the ultimate tactical shotgun? Then accept no substitutes … in English or Italian!
Ever since the Benelli M4 Tactical roared onto the market, defense experts haven’t been able to say enough about it. Originally designed for use by U.S. military and law enforcement personnel, the M4 Tactical (designated M1014 Joint Service Combat Shotgun for U.S. military) has been battle proven for reliability and performance. Its famous reliability and superior performance comes from Benelli’s Auto Regulating Gas Operation (ARGO) system, featuring dual self-cleaning pistons mounted just in front of the chamber to drive the action. The simple and reliable action eliminates the complex linkage and heavy parts found in other combat shotguns and self adjusts to different loads.
