Overview

The Benelli M1 is a semi-automatic shotgun series introduced by Benelli Armi. It was one of the first production shotguns to use Benelli's inertia recoil operating system. The M1 Super 90 was chambered in 12 gauge with a 3-inch chamber. The shotgun was available in both field and tactical configurations with varying barrel lengths. It features a rotating bolt head that locks into the barrel extension for positive locking. The M1 established Benelli's reputation as a leader in semi-auto shotgun technology.
