The innovative Beretta Gel-Tek pad is a patented product designed for shooters who frequently use their firearms or are sensitive to recoil. The advanced technology is made up of a soft polymer shell with a silicon core that absorbs the recoil. This non-toxic, inert gel distributes the recoil effect over the pad and reduces felt recoil. The gel doesn’t change with temperature or time. Gel-Tek recoil pad features a patented retaining mechanism that allows for quick and easy application and removal. The system allows quick removal of stock and interchangeability among pads. No fitting or sanding is required. Installing is simple with a screwdriver.
