In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves gets his hands on a pre-production copy of the Mossberg 940 Tactical semi-automatic shotgun - the tactical version of Mossberg's vaunted new Mossberg 940 series of shotguns. Using the same re-designed gas system, nickel boron internal treatments, optic cut from the factory, and with a blazing fast trigger and operating system, the 940 Tactical looks like the least expensive option for a reliable and feature-filled semi-auto 12 gauge with its $1,120 MSRP. But does the 940 Tactical have what it takes to match up with more expensive options or is the competitive price point indicative of a less-capable shotgun? James investigates today on TFBTV.

Per Mossberg's spec sheet about this new shotgun:
"The New, Optic-Ready 940 Pro Tactical Autoloader. This 940 Pro model comes optic-ready, with receiver cuts that accept low-profile direct mounting of Shield RMSc-pattern micro dot sights for improved eye alignment and target acquisition (a cover plate is included for when an optic is not in use). Inside, you will find a durable gas system that allows for up to 1500 rounds between cleanings, and a host of corrosion-resistant internal parts/finishing (nickel boron-coated gas piston, magazine tube ,hammer and sear); plus an enlarged/beveled loading port, elongated elevator, and anodized follower for smooth operation. Outside, the adjustable stock allows for 1.75" of LOP flexibility; the stock and streamlined forend feature Mossberg signature texturing for a secure grip; a barrel clamp provides accessory flexibility via M-LOK mounting slots; and a front fiber optic sight helps keep you on target."
