The Most Popular Benelli Shotgun - First Mag
About this video
Colion reviews the Benelli M2 semi-automatic shotgun after previously covering the M4 and Supernova models. He describes his first live-fire experience with the M2, emphasizing what he observes as its lighter weight, smooth inertia-driven recoil system, and versatile design. Colion argues that the M2 may be the best all-around shotgun in Benelli’s lineup and makes a case for it as a single go-to shotgun for those seeking one reliable platform.
Key takeaways
- Colion explains that the M2 uses Benelli’s inertia recoil system (rather than the gas-piston system in the M4), which he describes as keeping the gun cleaner and producing a smooth, manageable recoil feel.
- According to Colion, the M2 is noticeably lighter than both the M4 and Supernova, which he says makes it highly comfortable and maneuverable.
- Colion suggests the M2’s combination of light weight, smooth action, capacity, and versatility could make it an ideal single shotgun choice, despite its higher price point compared to the pump-action Supernova.
