The Vinci Tactical is basically still a standard, baseline Benelli Vinci when it comes to construction: it retains the overall layout and construction of the hunting versions, including − but not limited to − the three-parts structure that makes field-strip for cleaning and maintenance extremely easy. Parts commonality between the previous Benelli Vinci variants and the new Vinci Tactical version is also extremely high, thus making manufacturing easier for the company (which translates in readier availability on the market) and spare parts easier to find for shooters.
Unlike the baseline Vinci models, however, the Vinci Tactical variant is only 38.75 inches long and comes with a blued, chrome-moly steel 18.5-inches smoothbore barrel, without a standard sighting rib but fitted with LPA „Ghost Ring“ sights: a high-visibility front sight (which can be in turn fitted with a standard post or with a tritium or fiber-optic replacement post) and an adjustable rear sight. The hard-anodized, machined aluminium receiver of the Benelli Vinci Tactical shotgun is also factory-equipped with a top-mounted, short MIL-STD-1913 „Picatinny“ rail for reflex, red-dot or other tactical gunsights.
The Vinci Tactical semi-automatic shotgun is based upon Benelli’s own, patented In-Line inertia-driven system, featuring a shorter bolt with a rotating bolt head. It operates simply and efficiently on a single axis, providing reduced recoil and lesser muzzle climb for faster follow-up shots, as well as a degree of modularity previously unseen in traditional designs and fast and easy assembly and disassembly. The reliability of the In-Line inertia-driven system also allows the Benelli Vinci Tactical to feed any kind of 2.¾“ or 3″ shotshells with close to no worry for possible malfunctions that may occur. Once again, this puts the Benelli Vinci at the edge for Police or security duties, as it will allow officers and operators to use both lethal or less-lethal ammunition depending from the changing needs of tactical situations. At 6.7 pounds of overall weight, the Benelli Vinci Tactical comes standard with a 5-shells magazine tube, but tube extensions are also available that will boost the capacity to 8+1 shotshells, providing higher firepower to military, Police and private security operators, as well as to civilian gun owners that may rely on the Benelli Vinci Tactical shotgun for home or property defense or for 3-Gun shooting competitions.
