Description
The factory charging handle on a Benelli M1, M2, or M3 is small and easy to lose in tense moments. This GG&G upgrade is designed to fix that problem with an oversized knurled design that's dramatically easier to grab and manipulate when it counts.
Made from 4140 ordnance steel and heat-treated to Rockwell 45C hardness, this charging handle gives you a completely different feel than stock. The heavy knurling on the surface keeps your fingers or hand from slipping, even when you're wearing heavy gloves or dealing with sweat and moisture. The knurled profile gives you positive engagement without any guesswork. Rounded edges are deburred for smooth operation that won't snag on clothing or gear.
GG&G Ben M1/M2/M3 Design for Real-World Use
The bigger profile isn't just about comfort either. In stress situations where you're moving fast and your hands are anything but steady, the larger size makes a real difference in how quickly you can work the charging handle. Whether you're running drills, hunting, or dealing with a malfunction, the oversized geometry lets you index the handle fast without looking for it.
Finish and Construction
The matte black mil-spec manganese phosphate finish resists corrosion and keeps things looking businesslike without any shine that could cause reflection. At just one ounce, it adds virtually nothing to the gun's overall weight while making a massive difference in handling. Installation takes about 30 seconds with no tools required. GG&G backs this with a lifetime warranty covering any manufacturing or material defects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this GG&G charging handle work with my Benelli M4?
No, this handle is designed specifically for the M1, M2, and M3 models. GG&G makes a separate model, the GGG-1032, for the M4. The fit and function differ between models, so it's important to get the right one for your shotgun.
Do I need a gunsmith to install this charging handle?
Not at all. Installation takes about 30 seconds and requires no tools at all. Just remove the factory charging handle and slide the new one in. It's one of the quickest upgrades you can make to your shotgun.
How much difference does the larger size really make when handling the gun?
It's significant. The oversized profile makes the handle much easier to index and grab in stressed situations or when wearing gloves. Users report notably improved manipulation speed and control compared to the factory handle, especially during malfunction drills or quick reloading.
Is this charging handle covered by a warranty?
Yes, GG&G backs all their products with a lifetime warranty. If it fails due to a manufacturing defect or material issue, GG&G will repair or replace it free of charge for the original owner.
