The Italian company Benelli is renowned for its innovative weapon solutions, and the M2 Speed Performance model boasts plenty of them. We must mention technologies like AirTouch, Comfortech, and the Inertia Driven System. When you add a rather bold and impressive design to that, there's nothing to think about.
The Benelli M2 shotgun can be used quite universally. The Speed Performance variant is primarily intended for sporting purposes, mainly for the Standard Division and 3-Gun competitions, but besides that, it can be used for target shooting and hunting. Last but not least, this weapon can also serve for self-defense.
The great-looking Benelli M2 shotgun looks even better in the SP (Speed Performance) variant. Contributing to this are red accessories, which appear aggressive in the best sense of the word. The specialties of the SP variant include, besides the red-colored magazine extension, bolt release, and logo, a larger lever and bolt release, long fiber optic sights, and a choke.
The AirTouch technology in this weapon improves grip and speeds up aiming. You will find an interesting checkered pattern directly on the stock, which is not abrasive on the skin and not so smooth that the weapon would slip during shooting. The polymer from which the shotgun is made offers practically endless possibilities for shaping, and the designers and manufacturers have taken full advantage of this in this case.
The Comfortech technology utilizes an integrated system of stock, butt pad, and cheek piece, which significantly absorbs recoil during shooting, making the shooter's position much more comfortable. Thanks to the special stock shape, the level of recoil in this weapon is much lower than you might expect.
The Benelli M2 utilizes the inertia-driven system, also known as the Inertia Driven System, which uses recoil to drive the reopening of the barrel after the shot. The system includes a freely mounted, sliding bolt which is the only part not affected by recoil, and a spring attached to this bolt. The system is simply genius and, apart from being an effective solution, it also offers high reliability.
