Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Benelli M3 Super 90 is a purpose-designed duty shotgun that blends Benelli’s well-known semi-automatic reliability with the ultimate flexibility of a manually cycled pump action — a dual-mode platform that became favored by police, military, and specialist users who needed one gun to handle both high-power service loads and low-energy or specialty rounds (less-lethal munitions, breaching rounds, or badly crimped cartridges). In semi-automatic mode, the M3 uses Benelli’s inertia-operated system (a gasless, short-stroke inertia mechanism) to cycle most full-power 12-gauge loads cleanly and with a brisk, perceptible recoil impulse that many shooters find controllable. When the user needs positive mechanical operation — for example with low-velocity less-lethal rounds, specialty breaching rounds, or in extremely dirty conditions — the shooter simply switches the action to pump mode and the M3 functions like a conventional slide shotgun. This duality is implemented by a simple, positive selector on the forend/cocking mechanism; the pump mode engages a separate operating bar and shell carrier so the action is entirely mechanical and independent of the inertia parts. Benelli produced the M3 in several tactical and field trims with differing barrel lengths, sighting packages (from simple bead to ghost-ring or receiver rails), and stock choices (fixed, synthetic, or collapsible, often with recoil pads), making it adaptable for patrol, entry, breaching, or patrol-style home defense roles.

In day-to-day use, the M3’s chief strengths are its versatility, simplicity of user changeover between modes, and overall robustness. In semi-auto, the inertia system is noticeably cleaner—no gas ports to foul—and the shotgun cycles quickly for rapid follow-up shots with standard defensive buckshot and many heavier slugs. In pump mode, the action becomes utterly reliable with virtually any ammunition and is invaluable when using specialty loads that will not produce the inertia impulse needed for semi-auto cycling. Practical caveats are worth noting: the dual-mode mechanism makes the M3 heavier and a bit more complex than single-purpose shotguns; the inertia system can be sensitive to extremely light target loads in semi-auto mode (so test your defensive or training ammo in both modes), and training is important — switching modes, clearing malfunctions, and mastering both semi-auto and pump manipulations under stress takes practice. Maintenance is straightforward but must respect both systems: keep the bolt face, inertia block, and recoil spring area clean and lightly lubed per Benelli’s instructions, inspect the forend rails and action bars for wear, check the magazine spring and follower tension, and examine the barrel crown and forcing cone for erosion, which will affect patterns. For procurement or appraisal, verify barrel/choke condition and tightness, test the mode-switching and cycling with the exact ammunition types you intend to use, inspect the stock and recoil pad for cracks under heavy use, and ensure any accessory rails, sights, or muzzle devices are secure. When cared for and paired with appropriate ammunition and training, the Benelli M3 Super 90 is an exceptionally adaptable, hard-working shotgun that comfortably bridges the gap between rapid semi-auto firepower and the unwavering reliability of a manual pump.
