Description
You’re in a flooded timber blind, the pre-dawn chill seeping in. A flight of mallards is circling for the third pass, and you need a shotgun that cycles from light 2¾-inch target loads to punishing 3½-inch magnums without a hiccup. That’s the exact scenario the Benelli Super Black Eagle II 12 Ga, 26″ Barrel, Black Synthetic Comfortech, Left-Hand, 3rd was built to dominate. It’s a left-handed, inertia-driven semi-auto shotgun engineered for reliability across all 12-gauge shell lengths, featuring Benelli’s Comfortech stock system to manage heavy recoil. This model ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Here’s the thing—when your gear fails, the moment is gone. The Super Black Eagle II’s core is the proven inertia-driven system. Unlike gas-operated shotguns that can foul with residue, the Benelli system runs cleaner and more reliably in harsh conditions. Mud, ice, freezing rain? It’s designed to cycle. The left-handed configuration isn’t an afterthought; the safety button and shell loading port are positioned for natural, instinctive operation by southpaw shooters. This is a tool that fits out of the box, requiring no gunsmithing for the left-handed shooter to run it effectively.
The 26-inch barrel strikes a perfect balance for the field. It’s maneuverable in tight brush or a layout blind yet provides a smooth swing for pass shooting or waterfowl. Paired with the black synthetic Comfortech stock, this shotgun is built to be used hard. The Comfortech system isn’t just a pad—it’s a combination of gel-infused chevrons in the stock and a specially designed recoil pad that significantly reduces felt recoil. That matters on a long day when you’re sending a variety of loads downrange. The synthetic finish shrugs off moisture and abuse, weighing in at a practical 7.3 pounds.
Versatility is the name of the game. One minute you’re breaking clays with light loads, the next you’re reaching for a 3½-inch shell for late-season geese. The Super Black Eagle II handles that swap seamlessly. Its design accepts chokes like the Benelli Crio system, allowing you to pattern for everything from tight turkey shots to open-cylinder for close-quarters upland birds. Look, for a dedicated left-hander, finding a purpose-built semi-auto at this performance level under $650 is a solid find. You can own this benchmark for $620.30.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a true left-handed model, or just a right-handed gun with the safety reversed?
A: This is a true left-handed configuration. The safety button is positioned correctly for left-hand operation, and the shell loading port is also cut for a left-handed shooter, making loading intuitive and efficient.
Q: Can I really shoot 2¾-inch target loads and 3½-inch magnums interchangeably?
A: Yes, that’s the defining feature of the Super Black Eagle II platform. Its inertia-driven system is designed to cycle the entire spectrum of 12-gauge shells without any adjustments, from light 1-ounce loads up to heavy 3½-inch magnums.
Q: What chokes does this model use?
A: This shotgun utilizes the Benelli Crio Choke system (Benelli Mobilechoke on some older listings). It comes with a set of flush-mounted chokes (typically Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full). Always verify thread pattern with your specific barrel, but Crio chokes are widely available from Benelli and aftermarket manufacturers.
