Description
The stock charging handle on a Benelli M1 Super 90, M2, or M3 is famously small. Fine on a calm range day, but not so great when you need to run the bolt fast and your grip has to be dead certain. GG&G's Slotted Tactical Charging Handle fixes that with a bigger footprint and aggressive knurling that gives your fingers something real to grab onto.
It's machined from 4140 ordnance steel and wears a non-reflective, mil-spec manganese phosphate finish, so it holds up to hard use and matches the business-like look of a tactical Benelli. The slotted design trims some weight off GG&G's older solid handle while keeping the same beefy grip surface, and every edge is deburred so there's nothing sharp to snag a hand or a sling. It tips the scale at roughly 0.6 ounces, so it won't throw off the balance of your shotgun.
Why the GG&G Slotted Handle Beats the Factory Piece
The whole point here is a more positive charge. The heavy knurling means your hand stays put whether you're wearing gloves, working in the rain, or moving quickly. Rounded outer edges keep it from catching on gear, which matters if the gun rides in a scabbard or against a plate carrier.
Fitting the Slotted Charging Handle to Your Benelli
Installation is a genuine drop-in job. You pull the small factory retracting handle out and press this one into its place, no gunsmith and no permanent changes to the receiver. Just remember it's built specifically for the M1, M2, and M3 platforms, so it won't fit the M4 (GG&G makes a separate handle for that one).
GG&G builds this in the USA and backs it with a lifetime warranty, which tells you how much faith they put in the part. For anyone running a defensive or competition Benelli, it's one of the simplest upgrades that pays off every single time you cycle the action.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this GG&G charging handle fit my Benelli M4?
No, this one is made specifically for the Benelli M1, M2, and M3 shotguns. GG&G offers a separate slotted charging handle designed for the M4, so grab that version if you're running an M4. Fitting the wrong model won't work correctly.
How hard is it to install the slotted charging handle?
It's a straightforward drop-in swap. You remove the small factory retracting handle and press the GG&G handle into its place, with no gunsmithing or permanent modifications needed. Most folks have it done in a couple of minutes with the gun unloaded.
What is the charging handle made of and how durable is it?
It's machined from 4140 ordnance steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant mil-spec manganese phosphate coating. That combination gives it real strength and lasting durability under hard use. GG&G backs it with a lifetime warranty.
Why upgrade from the factory Benelli handle at all?
The stock retracting handle is small and can be tough to grab quickly under stress or with gloves on. This one is noticeably larger with heavy knurling, so your hand stays locked on for a more positive charge every time. The rounded, deburred edges also keep it from snagging on gear.
