If you shoot an M2 with that stock side-by-side with a pistol grip model, you will absolutely feel the difference. I think that is also part of the reason you see fewer aftermarket stocks for Benellis that other manufacturers. No one wants them. This year, Benelli introduced the Comfort Tech 3. The new model increased the size and optimized the location of the impact absorbing chevrons, leading to further reduced recoil. Also added to the stock is CombTech, which is billed as reducing the impact to your face. I call that shutting your mouth when you\u2019ve all been drinking, but this shotgun feature should be nice too.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_68819\" style=\"width: 2548px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Combtech.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"next-generation-perfection-benellis-super-black-eagle-3-shot-show-2017\" title=\"Next-Generation of Perfection: Benelli\u2019s Super Black Eagle 3\u2014SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68819\" title=\"Next-Generation of Perfection: Benelli\u2019s Super Black Eagle 3\u2014SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"size-full wp-image-68819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Combtech.png\" alt=\"Next-Generation of Perfection: Benelli\u2019s Super Black Eagle 3\u2014SHOT Show 2017\" width=\"2538\" height=\"1344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Combtech.png 2538w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Combtech-150x79.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Combtech-400x212.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Combtech-768x407.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Combtech-1024x542.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2538px) 100vw, 2538px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-68819\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Comfort Tech stock system of the Super Black Eagle takes the ergonomics of the gun to the next level.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>What else?
