Good morning to you!! Yes, the Benelli Nova 3 Tactical 12-gauge shotgun should cycle 1.75-inch shells without the need for an adapter. This is because the Nova 3 Tactical is designed to chamber and cycle a variety of 12-gauge shotgun shells, including 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells, according to Benelli USA. While the Nova 3 Tactical is typically used with 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells, it can also handle 1.75-inch shells without requiring any modifications or special adapters.

Hi Charles and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, not reliably enough to be used for self-defense. Some shooting details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6UxWShyPfM ------------ Cheers and stay safe!

Hi Charles, there are mixed reviews on whether they will cycle reliably. Some users say yes, others say no. The only way to know for sure is to buy a box and try them out yourself. Stay safe & have a great day!

Honestly, to see if it'll cycle, buy a box or 2 of the mini's & runnem'!!! Some say YES, some say NO?
