Unfortunately, no. This appears to be a 13 round version, which is well beyond the 5 round limit for semi-auto centrefire firearms.

Love to get the M2 speed. Don’t see why they couldn’t put the same extension as the M2 SP and have it 5+1. Heck I’d take it capped at the end of the forend and do my own extension with a plug.

What is different between the newer “speed” and the older “speed performance”?
I’m in the market for one but no rush.
Thanks!

Everything mentioned by Sudbury Shooter, plus the geometry of both the receiver and the bolt release. I've not seen the Canadian exclusive one (no word yet from our suppliers), but the Benelli M2 Speed also appears to have a red magazine tube as opposed to the regular black one we've seen thus far.

Fantastic - thank you both!
I picked up one of the Speed Performance models this weekend.
I cut down the way to long magazine spring by 25cm.
I then put a 45 degree angle on the trailing edge on back of the second (last) u-notch on the bolt - I did this with a Dremel bit, some fine sandpaper, and then hit it with some cold blue. It now floats an extra shell on the lifter like the original M2 and M1’s (ghost load). With the factory + 2 mag extension for 3” shells, the shotgun holds 6 2 3/4 + 1 in the chamber + 1 floating.
Floating with the short 3” chamber is a bit niggly but I can do it fast now that I know exactly how far to pull back the bolt carrier.
I don’t know why the M2 won’t float a shell from the factory. My VR-66, M4, and M3K all do.
The barrel is a bit long for my needs but it’s workable.
The fiber optic front sight is great, almost like a red dot at dusk. I’ll try the folding sight with some slugs soon.
This is a fantastic shotgun with John Wick 4 styling.

No it’s just a change at Benelli. No idea why they did it. It’s a super easy mod to allow ghost loading.
