The Benelli M2 Field is the semi-automatic shotgun that hunters and competitive shooters reach for when they need maximum reliability in minimum weight. Benelli's patented Inertia Driven system uses recoil energy to cycle the action — there is no gas system to clean, tune, or foul. The M2 runs dirty, runs wet, and runs light loads that would choke gas-operated guns.
Three-gun competitors discovered the M2 through USPSA and IPSC competition — it cycles fast, handles abuse, and the bolt release is one of the fastest on any semi-auto shotgun. Waterfowl hunters prize it for reliability in flooded timber and marsh conditions where gas guns fill with debris. The ComforTech stock absorbs recoil significantly better than competing designs, allowing faster target reacquisition.
