Anyone know what kind of shotgun (model) this is? Used by SWAT?

Jonathan · 08-12-2007, 01:42 PM

What kind of shotgun is that? Of course, I'm assuming 12 gauge, but is there a certain model name that you know of?

Thanks for helping this newbie.

pecka · 08-12-2007, 02:17 PM

Don't assume that this gun is used by SWAT. Anyone can stick a cheap shotgun on a vest with the letters SWAT on it. Where did you find the pic?

toolman · 08-12-2007, 02:38 PM

Welcome aboard! That's a Bennelli M3, and they are indeed used by some SWAT teams.

pecka · 08-12-2007, 02:58 PM

My guess was gonna ge a Stoeger. A wild guess but I was close. Stoeger and Bennelli are owned by the same company. How do they compare functionally. What about Franchi's.

This was my guess...

I don't think it's the M3, but it's hard to tell, since the sling is hiding where the conversion mechanism between semi-auto and pump is at the front of the forearm. It could also be a Benelli M1 or M2.

toolman · 08-12-2007, 06:24 PM

Yeah, you might be right, JAC. If the sling wasn't on it, it'd be easy to tell.

Jonathan · 08-12-2007, 07:15 PM

Wow, thanks for all the replies.

The only guns I have right now is a .380 hand-gun, a Mossenburg 12guage (3 1/2"), but I've always liked shotguns.

Beer Forever · 08-12-2007, 07:28 PM

That looks close to a Remington 1100, but semi auto, but the stock is a Bennelli.

BattleRifleG3 · 08-12-2007, 08:34 PM

That stock is distinctly Benelli. I'm just unsure of M1 vs M2 vs M3.

Venanzio · 08-13-2007, 10:44 AM

take a look.............

Benelli Armi : Fucili

Lng Rng · 08-14-2007, 12:48 AM

Pecka, to answer your question, I think they are mechanically similar. I know that Stoger just came out with a new shot gun that uses Benelli's Inerita system. I have always thought the benelli's had a nicer stock fit, but for the money, they should.

shotgunner · 08-14-2007, 10:29 AM

That is indeed a Benelli M3. Some teams also use pump action Benelli's as well. Some SWAT agencies use the Mossberg Tactical pump too.

SDorton9 · 12-08-2007, 02:43 PM

Thats an M2 I believe

Mooseman684 · 12-08-2007, 03:05 PM

I say it is M1 Super 90 "tactical" model with rifle-type open sights, and alternative buttstock with pistol grip.

SDorton9 · 12-08-2007, 03:48 PM

Those are the ghost ring sights for sure, my nova has em'

mike1014 · 12-11-2007, 11:59 PM

its definately a m3. a dynamite shotgun. but i have not even looked at mine since i brought home a m4 with an adjustablke stock. no sorry , thats a m2. its not pumpable which te m3 is. yep , thats a m2. now what do i win?

thats a fixed forearm. non pumpable , semi auto. m2ish

Mooseman684 · 12-12-2007, 12:23 AM

I guess it could be an M2, it looks like this M1 however..Benelli M1 MB Tactical SPECIAL 12g 18.5" Open Sight, Muzzle Brake

But it could be this M2.Benelli M2 Tactical 12g 18.5" Pistol Grip Ghost Ring Sight
Hmmm...

ArkansasHunter · 12-12-2007, 12:35 AM

I thought it was a Stoger my Mossberg 930 looks similer to the Stoger with that button on the side.
What kind is it ? Never mind I'll check all the post.

Edit : I zoomed the picture up to 400 and Mooseman got it right.

OZHUNTER62 · 12-12-2007, 02:03 AM

I have noooooooo idea!!! but I want one!!! ...........and the vest.

Regards

SDorton9 · 12-28-2007, 11:21 PM

Like Mike1014 said: no sorry , thats a m2. its not pumpable which te m3 is.

The M3 is a convertable pump for bean bag loads in law enforcement.
