Gas, smoke and burnt powder stay in the barrel where they belong, rather than being channeled into the action, as with gas driven systems. With a significantly reduced number of moving parts, the Inertia Driven shotgun is faster.ĭue to the fact that it's not gas operated, the Benelli M2 runs smoother and cleaner.

The operating system is simple with only three primary parts: the bolt body, the inertia spring and the rotating bolt head. With no parts in the stock or affixed to the magazine tube, the gun balances evenly in the hands. First developed in 1967, there are Benelli Inertia Driven shotguns that have fired over 500,000 rounds and still functioning flawlessly today. It never needs to be adjusted and will cycle everything from field to magnum loads with consistent reliability, year after year. For those unfamiliar with the concept, Sir Isaac Newton’s First Law of Physics, "The Law of Inertia”, simply states that an object in motion (the bolt) has a tendency to stay in motion until acted upon by an another force (the recoil spring).īenelli has harnessed this basic law of physics in their Inertia Driven system to operate the world’s fastest, simplest and most reliable semi-automatic shotgun. At the heart of the Benelli M2 is the Inertia Driven system. Benelli is an Italian firearms manufacturer located in Urbino, Italy and is world famous for producing high quality hunting, military and law enforcement shotguns. The Benelli M2 includes 5 extended, black Crio choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F), a shim kit, and a custom-fitted hard gun case.Low prices on the Benelli M2 3" 12- Gauge Patriot Brown Optifade Marsh start at Champion Firearms-īenelli's Workhorse. The barrel features a lightweight ventilated stepped rib, and a red bar front sight. The Crio® choke tubes are also cryogenically treated and extend into the barrel deeper than standard tubes, producing tight, uniform shot patterns that down birds at maximum shotgun range. Benelli uses Crio® System barrels on their M2's that feature cryogenically treated barrels with an even-grained, slick surface that minimizes pellet deformation. The M2 uses a rotating bolt head with steel locking lugs that lock into the steel barrel extension creating a steel-to-steel lock that becomes even tighter during firing. The recoil operated Inertia-Driven System is the epitome of simplicity, with just 3 main parts, that operates cleaner than gas operated semi-automatic shotguns. The M2 operates with Benelli's Inertia-Driven® System that has proven itself in the field to be ultra-reliable, cycling both 2-3/4" field loads and 3" magnums interchangeably without adjustments.

The buttstock utilizes Benelli's Comfor Tech® recoil reduction system that reduces recoil by as much as 48%, enabling shooters to stay on target for fast follow up shots. The barrel and receiver are finished with a non-reflective Tungsten CeraKote® finish, which protects metal from abrasion and corrosion. The M2's synthetic buttstock and forend are finished in Gore® Optifade® Concealment Waterfowl Timber camo, a pattern that considers how ducks and geese see as they look down from above on high-contrast, flooded timber with water-surface reflections and dappled sunlight. The Benelli® M2 Semi-Auto Shotgun is built to handle fast and use hard.
