The M2 is the workhorse of the Benelli semi-automatic line. Light, nimble, but ruggedly built, the Benelli M2 is built around the ultra-reliable Inertia Driven bolt mechanism. The Inertia Driven system allows the M2 to digest nearly any 12 gauge cartridge, from 2¾" target loads to the heaviest 3" Magnums.



Benelli engineers have also adapted the ComforTech recoil system for the M2. This revolutionary system reduces felt recoil by up to 48% and cuts muzzle climb by 15%. When combined, this puts the shooter back on target up to 69% faster than with any other comparable semi-automatic shotgun. The M2 is not only faster but with the new ComforTech system, it’s arguably the most comfortable shotgun you will ever shoot.


To put more pellets on target the M2s barrel and chokes are cryogenically treated, frozen to -300° F, which changes the bore surface at the molecular level making it more uniform and relieving stresses in the steel. The end result is a denser and more uniform pattern that puts up to 13.2% more pellets on target.


The M2 is a workhorse with the speed of a thoroughbred.
