Mossberg 940 Pro Red Dot Ready Shotgun

[@AniwayasSong]

I feel ashamed to have been utterly ignorant about this amazing platforms existence, and I'm an avid Ruger Patron (For close to half a CENTURY now)! Happily, I discovered it, and have been trolling through People's Channels to get their opinions on it. Thank you! This will be my next purchase, and I can't wait to put it through its paces!

I had to do a specific search for the 940 to see it

[@Wootangtw]

I got a 940 pro tactical about a year ago… my forearm actually fits good…

[@johnsechrest1880]

Just bought the 940 Pro last month. It also has a nice snug fit

[@rocktheglock2233]

I have the 930 and it eats everything. My hand guard is perfect lol

[@Voluvr]

Very good video! You know your business and move at a good clip. Glad I found your channel.

[@wisco_guy]

I love my Beretta 1301 Tactical with a couple LTT mods. Never had a malfunction and shoots fast as hell.

[@DracoOmnia]

I've never been into the semi-autos much, the maybe faster followup shots have never been more important than reliability in my world. M500/590 all day.

[@JR-mc4wg]

That excuse may have flown ten years ago. Now, the Benelli M4 and the Beretta 1301 exist. The only excuse you possibly have for not owning one is price. They are both far better shotguns than any Mossberg 500 series shotgun.

[@DracoOmnia]

@@JR-mc4wg yeah, there's definitely something to be said for price. But also ease of maintenance, parts availability, all of the powder energy going into forward motion of projectiles rather than some siphoned off to cycle an action. I'm about as fast with the 500 series and any Jo schmo with a 1301 so I'll keep my money for ammo.

[@JR-mc4wg]

@@DracoOmnia If you're saying you're faster than a semiautomatic, I would love to see that.

[@DracoOmnia]

@@JR-mc4wg I usually mean what I say and I said "about as fast as any Jo schmo with" a semi. If I can find a video I'll post it

[@foghornleghorn4173]

Been in shotgun classes, side by side with semi’s…and I have been as fast and as accurate with my 870.

[@MVEZombie]

I just had mine out yesterday along with my Beretta 1301 tactical. The only thing I don't like is the "coupler" being polymer. When it gets hot, it will 100% move around on you.

[@Johnny_Pballs]

Which one do you prefer? Very interested in the Beretta patrol

[@MVEZombie]

@@Johnny_Pballs I'm looking in to getting an A300 patrol as well, mostly just because I like guns and not for any practical reasons. That being said, if I had to choose between the 1301 and the 940, I'd take the 1301 for multiple reasons but all based on preference. Comes with ghost ring sights and a rail instead of the fiber optic front sight and optics cut. Ease of disassembly and reassembly. It's noticeably lighter. It's been around a bit longer so there's more aftermarket support. They're both really reliable so far though, no failures with either with all kinds of loads through both.

[@Gspsx]

930's hand guard fitment was also like that. Drove me nuts, but it never seems to cause an issue until the little plastic spacer underneath cracked in two.

[@Alaska610ish]

My 930 hates loading 3” rounds. Any ideas? Otherwise it will drop 9 rounds in 2 seconds. Thanks

[@Gspsx]

@@Alaska610ish mine doesn't like them either. I have noticed the 930 in general doesn't like high pressure rounds. Mine will have failure to eject issues all day with 1600fps 00 buckshot even in 2 3/4" shells. It will run low pressure (1100-1300 fps) rounds all day.

[@889976889]

Mine is really bad on the 930 mouth more wiggle. This looks slightly improved still annoying though

[@dustinpribble1546]

I'd like to see this head to head against the Beretta A300 Tactical.... can't make up my mind

[@cramerlong2276]

Dustin Pribble While I have not tried a 940 . I have shot the Ultima . They look really good . But they are nowhere near the cycle ability of their 1301 . This Mossberg is . Plus all the Mossberg reviews claim it eats just about everything . The A300 not so much . I'm guessing because it cycles slow

[@peterreily1490]

My 940 pro field handguard is flush, but it wiggles side to side as well. The second I picked it up from my ffl the handguard felt…. Cheap and not properly fit. So it’s not just mine.

[@jackpleb2360]

The forearm needs to be screwed down by the extension tube nut. Then tighten the extension into the nut after it is tightened. That was my issue. Now it is very tight. Also, after about 200 rounds of slug, buck, and bird, my 940 pro had trouble with low velocity birdshot. It was winchester x-lite target or something. I still love my 940 tho.

[@johnsechrest1880]

You make a excellent point. If the tube is screwed in too far first, it will not tighten correctly according to the manual.

[@markn4526]

Many semi-auto shotguns have trouble cycling with low velocity bird shot...especially Winchester brand for some reason.

[@roquerodriguez5272]

I love mossberg. That's a beautiful shotgun. A would love to own one .

[@inthego]

the forend (forearm) will not seat down all the way when you thread the mag extension tube down too far before you screw the magazine nut down. happen to me first time I cleaned it.

[@Dex916]

My 930's handguard does the same thing. I hate it, but the gun is reliable.

[@sway696]

Dang it! And I was really trying to not buy anymore tools this year. Owell, guess one more wouldn't hurt.🤣🤷🏽‍♂️

[@mikewithers299]

Especially that tool! I'm trying to decide, but this is a brand I trust. Number 3 for auto🤩

[@bryanfaulkenburg462]

As a lefty I have always loved the Mossberg safety location. Though if you try to install an oversized safety the screw they use is a one way screw.

How are you able to be on American KZbin in a communist country that censors everything you can see and do online unless you’re a government… please correct me if I’m wrong. 🤨

[@runslinux]

I have a Mossberg 930 shotgun that I put a pistol grip stock on and I use it for home defense. I bought some Flocchi home defense rounds for it only to find out they are not powerful enough to cycle the action. Just be aware of this.

[@mattwalters6834]

I know a lot of low recoil ammo doesn’t run it semi autos; at least they work in pumps. That being said, I’m really considering this broomstick or Beretta’s offerings!

[@TheYouTubeMechanic]

This is the shotgun i want to love the most. i hope its good!

[@joshmajor8662]

Lol I’m in Kentucky, I’ve seen several of these. They seem solid 🤷‍♂️👍

[@TARandFEATHERS]

I just bought my first shotgun late in life. A Mossberg 500 pump. I don't have any previous experience with shotguns to compare to, but mine doesn't inspire confidence in its craftsmanship. The pump mechanism seems loose and jigglely. RockOn.StayFree.

[@mattwalters6834]

That was the problem with my 590A1; tolerances were out of wack and the follower hung up in my magazine with some loading and unloading, not after “thousands of rounds”.

[@TARandFEATHERS]

@@mattwalters6834 Hah, just gave mine to my brother un-fired. So much for the Mossberg 500 hype. And I'd hoped to get a 590A1.

[@cramerlong2276]

*The VSO Gun Channel* I think this is nicer then Beretta's 300 Ultima Patrol . At least internally : The Patrol is pretty to look at . But kinda doggy compared to these 940's . My only debate is I've seen like 9 reviews and 2 others have pointed out the floppy foreand

[@markn4526]

Trying to decide between the 2. The A300 seems plasticky by comparison and makes it actually feel like Beretta's "budget" model. The Mossberg's floppy forend is the only issue with it that I've heard of.

Will the crap loads from Walmart be ineffective against a threat? If you shoot at a knee or tennis shoe, will it bounce off? Can you post a video demonstrating the effects on a tennis shoe? Without the toes, please. Thank you.

[@bonjovi2757]

I have one. The barrel clamp is shit if you try to mount a light, Mine broke in 20 rounds. But the rest of the shotgun is solid. Also I put a Holosun 507K on mine and the sight would not hold zero. More a point about holosun than Mossberg.

[@DracoOmnia]

I mean, it's kind of a point on mossberg because they went with a pistol sized rds cutout, knowing full well basically none of the pistol rds's will have been engineered to withstand the recoil of anything approaching a shotgun...

[@bonjovi2757]

@@DracoOmnia Is there really more G-force on a shotgun vs a pistol slide slamming back a forward 15-20 times a magazine? Not standing up for holosun, but I would like to know the science of the two g-force numbers.

[@markn4526]

Supposedly Mossberg specifically chose the Holosun 407K to put on their 940 Pro Tactical because it worked the best of the ones they tried. Maybe it worked the best for their bottom line.

[@ursaminor3740]

I didn’t see a shell release button there.. so how do you send a shell onto the lifter if it’s cocked without pulling the trigger? And can we ghost load it? Thanks!

[@Silver880]

I like my 940 pro tactical with one main gripe. I put a 4oz mlok mounted light on the barrel clamp and it slides around. Several emails mossberg and no help. They said the light must weigh more than the clamp is rated for. When i asked what the weight rating was they said it doesn't have one and don't tighten it too much it might break. It's my only home defense weapon and i really want a light on it so it's kind of a pisser. If i could return it i would and get a beretta with a solid light mount point like an mlok forend.

[@mikewithers299]

Get a pic rail tube adapter. They are aluminum and stronger. They are cheap enough. I put one on my 590s for a light

[@jackpleb2360]

Gg and g makes a steel setup going around the extension tube nut to give you a picatinny rail (for a light) and a swing swivel qd. It is dope. I like it on mine.

[@bolriconyc3795]

Had the same issue..... stopped using it as a mounting point for anything and went ahead with the GG&G PIC/QD mount.... too many issues, it's basically just to clamp your barrel and mag tube together and stabilize both but the recoil makes it useless for anything to mount on it. On a side note, I had issues from the get go with mine. Initially right out the box the freakin clamp was put on too tight from factory, somehow warping the magazine tube causing a failure to feed issue which was caused by the spring being stuck inside the tube making lose tension therefore only feeding 4 or 5 shells. After that issue was fixed by Mossberg sending out a new mag tube, spring, follower and end cap I had a failure to battery issue immediately after fixing the first problem. All this was with around 80 rounds fired through it, mostly done to test fire the issues. It went back to MOSSBERG April 2023 and got it back in August 2023....PURCHASED JANUARY 2023.... Got it back and it fires flawlessly now, I only got around 120 slugs through it so far but it's functional....so far. One thing I have to say is that Mossberg customer service is top notch, they tried everything before it had to get sent back. Withe price of ammo I'm slowly putting her to work and crossing my fingers she stays workin.

[@mikew8622]

So I'm new to guns and just bought that one mine seems to be 6 plus one. Do I need to push hard for the last load or is there a 6 plus one?

[@mikewithers299]

I've heard the same problem on TFBTV where James Reeves said certain manufacturers crimp their ammo different causing some brands to be longer than others.

[@badideaman]

Many shells are a bit more than 2 3/4s. Take time to measure them and you will see for yourself!

[@paulgibbs3393]

Mossberg says 1 1/8 ounce rds for proper cycling

[@charleswill497]

Can the 940 shoot mini's?

[@mikewithers299]

Not reliably. James Reeves showed that on his channel. That's why I keep the Mav 88 for shorties.

Where did u get the “UnGovernable” flag that’s hanging in the background??? Not a lot will know what that’s from but I do!

[@davidmoore5099]

So I have email proof from mossberg this is not as safe or tactical as one would think it could be. Mossberg just told me the only way to load this shotgun 940 pro tactical is to load the barrel first press the release then load the tube. Or it could jam and cause issues. So this gun from MOSSBERG can not be cruiser ready or loaded at ready. It’s only SAFE to use when safety is on and a round in the chamber. I now know that this will NOT be a home defense shotgun

[@dickbroomactual2203]

What’s kind of fuckery is this??

[@AgentKlark14]

Hello, Perhaps ghost loading would be an option. On the 930/940 models it is possible to load a round on the elevator through the ejection port, and ride the bolt over it. Good to see the bolt/shell release was redesigned, being able to jam the gun by releasing the shells with the elevator down is another issue with earlier designs.
