Mossberg always makes a good shotgun that’s affordable. There are at least 9 Mossberg shotguns in my family for 3 actual shooters. Dating back to the 60’s to the late 90’s productions. One bolt action and the rest pumps. All hunting guns. Never let any of us down.
I am not a bird or rabbit hunter, so the only shotgun I own is the one that belonged to my late grandfather, but if I were to buy another shotgun it would be a Mossberg because I know about their reputation as a reliable cost effective weapon.
@@harpintn my brother and I each use to deer hunt with Mossberg 500s. 1 12 gauge and 1 20 gauge. I use to have 2” groups at 85 years with a smooth bore bead sight with that 20 gauge. Then I started duck hunting. Steel shot expanded the barrel. Went from a tack driver to a completely dangerous weapon to run slugs through. Still kills birds, though.
@@stevemartin8326 people in my area sometimes use a 12 gauge with slugs as well. I know at one time the 30-30 was the most popular in my area, but now more and more are using .300 BLK or 5.56 simply because that has become something that most people have now.

There are many interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire
You should know it's easy and hard to make that much profit. I say EASY because it's very possible to make that much, and Hard because you'll need professional assistance to do it, I'd suggest you get assisted by a market advisor.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $21k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Not sure that I’d consider this a review. More like an overview. Probably paid overview at that. I’ve watched plenty of reviews on this shotgun that highlight concerns of quality and reliability… maybe they had lemons idk, but from what I’ve seen I’d never choose this over the A300 Ultima Patrol.

A300 Patrol also is more popular on Gundeals subreddit.
@@jacobdelgado7343 3 main reasons 1- The A300 it's been around since 1968... becoming the staple for the creation of the 1201 and 1301 models, the 1201 was launched in the early 80's and the 1301 in the year 2014. The 1301 is becoming the substitute of the Benelli M4, which was created in 1998 and is, to this day, one of the best CQC and breaching shotguns of all times, only second to the Winchester Trench-gun slamfire shotgun. So what does that tells you? Impeccable track record... Even it's use has increased in the military for many countries. The only shotgun from Mossberg worth its weight in gold is the 590A1 Retrograde, but you sacrifice speed over capacity since that model is pump action. 2- Since the 1301 is inertia driven, it's lighter than the A300 Ultima Patrol... But because of the gas system, the A300 is heavier and sturdier, giving you better control over the gun. and 3rd... durability, accuracy with slugs and 00 Buckshot, ergonomics, warranty, quality and price... the A300 is far superior to any other semi auto shotgun in the market right now.
@@toddsickinger3934 Oh I agree. Reason I even pointed it out is because I think a lower mounted optic is a closer approximation of a traditional sighting system. I have one shotgun with an optic and one without and I tend to feel I shoot better without. Points more naturally without the optic.
I have a Mossberg. A 20 ga. bolt action made before 1956 (No serial #). With a polychoke. I have other shotguns. But when I head out to hunt birds or small game 99 % of the time, I take that old Mossberg. Eat your hearts out, folks.
Mossberg has been making excellent budget shotguns for a long time. The first firearm i owned was a Maverick 88. I put a ton of shells though that thing, and the only malfunction i had that i didnt cause, was the action got stuck closed once after i fired it. I spent a few mins smacking the buttstock on the ground and it came loose. Don't know why it happened and it never happened again. Only got rid of that gun because i wanted a proper 500, which itself isn't an expensive gun. Also runs like a top. Im not usually a brand loyal person, but idk man, mossberg makes shit that works, even the cheap stuff. Might be time to add a semi auto to the cabinet.

I have the same. My question on this one is whether to get the Thunder Ranch version or Jerry Miculek version. Might be nice to add a 9 rounder to the mix.
I recently grabbed a 1301 just because I got it for a good price. I can’t consider Mossberg anymore. The first and only one I bought(590A1) wouldn’t even cycle out of the box and immediately had to be sent in.
Have a 930. Love it. It didnt like some low brass loads, so I took a 1/4" drill bit and drilled some holes in the spacer tube similar to the Or3gun upgrade. Eats everything I throw in it now. Walmart birdshot to Brenneke slugs. I plan to get her milled for a dot soon
You need to shoot the beretta a300 & compare the 940 tactical. I was set on the 940 tactical. But I'm hearing the a300 is giving it a run for it's money... I can't decide
I had an issue with my 940 pro tac where the shell would not feed correctly. I sent it to mossberg and they got it back in a couple weeks with a new barrel and that fixed that issue. The loading tube also has a few issues where the spring is too stiff for a full 7 shell load. Some videos online show clipping the spring down to fix the issue which seems simple enough. I love shooting my 940 but i was very upset with the quality out of the box.
I had a 940 and it was epic. Put 500 rds through it. 1 failure, and it was just me shooting too fast. All i had to do was rack it again. I ran high powered slugs and light birdshot. Incredible gun. Easy cleaning and you can put 1200 rds in between cleaning.
I'd love to buy one, but since I live in Illinois I would need to get the 5 shot version. I can't find it anywhere. It only seems to be available in Canada
My wife bought me one last year and I have to say, it is as fun as it gets. HB industries makes an amazing m-lok light mount with a qd sling mount built in as well as an insert that replaces the length of pull inserts that also has a qd sling mount. It makes it super slick and comfy. Mossberg added a shim kit that goes between the stock and receiver that changes the cant that makes it shoulder so much easier to the red dot. Definitely worth every penny spent.
I have a Saiga but I’m going to purchase a Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical with the light and optics. I thank you so much for your content. Your videos have taught me so much.
Wishing I would have got 1 of these instead of the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol right now. Out of the box the bolt release did not work properly. Sent it back to Beretta for repair. They had it for 1 month and sent it back. During shipping the charging handle rubbed a huge hole in the box, the handle fell out and was lost, and the receiver was all scratched up. Not only that, it was caked in cardboard dust anywhere there was oil. I sent it back to them and they told me they would send me a new one. Well, they didn't have a new one in stock and have to make one. They could not tell me when that would happen. That was 7 months ago and they still can't tell me when they will be able to make one to replace it. I asked for a refund and they said they can't refund it since I didn't buy it from them.
That’s a bummer. I was all set to buy one of those too but I noticed on Reddit shotgun subs people were posting about problems with them left and right. Looks like they still have some kinks to work out.
Just bought an all metal Turkish AR shotgun for 285$, but this video is convincing me to buy another shotgun. Gotta be prepared for that drone warfare.
This shotgun is amazing. My girlfriend has adopted my 940 pro tactical as her own. She loves it and tells me how fun it is to shoot. Now she keeps it by her bed for self defense when we’re not at the range.
Hey Colion , I loved this video, since I just purchased a 940 Pro Tactical 12 ga. I don’t think you could of said it any better 💥🔫 thanks from Commy Ct 🇺🇸
I bought this gun two years ago. After less than 20 shots the magazine tube had a defect. Took Mossberg months to fix it inder warranty. That inconvenience aside, I love this shotgun.
I've seen other ytubers talking about warranty service troubles with M'berg. Now it's hard to not notice when the topic appears. So far, I think that's what's keeping me off the brand.
Only those associated with Thunder Ranch are likely to promote it as Thunder Ranch likely gets a cut rather than Guntubers getting paid directly or indirectly by Mosberg to promote the the 940 Tactical.
It is not a bad choice for many would recommend the Beretta A300 Patrol for close to the same price. See postings on Gundeals subreddit for pricing and feedback. It is also recommend on Shotguns subreddit.
Just shot mine yesterday…I love the 940 Tactical. Also have the Maverick 88 pump, love that too! Every time I shoot the 940 I say Damm!… in good way lol.
New revision of the 1301 added nice features many had spent money for to install later themselves but Beretta raised the price a lot too. Many buy the A300 Patrol as a lower cost alternative.
With 500s and 88s on the market it's hard to believe anyone would take another shotgun from any other manufacturer. Just saying the model destination will ring everyone's ears and tell everyone that you didn't break the bank for reliability. Ergo, mossberg, wins again.
I had a dealer search for this shotgun back when it was first released a couple years ago. After about three months I was a a local gun store and came across a Benelli M4 in the titanium cerakote. I bought it without hesitation. Two days later I got a call from the other gun store that they located the 940. Unfortunately I had to decline it, but it has been on my list of arms to buy next. Only bad part is that the list keeps growing
I’ve watched what seems like 1000 videos on this gun, and all except 2 are positive . Thanks for cementing my decision to get one. Almost got an M4 but I think I’ll save $1,000
**stares at Maverick 88** you're alright in my book, baby
Fantastic gun. Cheap and reliable as hell.
Seriously the most underrated shotgun out there. Seems like it's just been in the last few years it's starting to get the love it deserves
The best beater shotgun on the market. I’ve ran everything from slugs to firework loads through mine and it still does great

You need to shoot the beretta a300 & compare the 940 tactical. I was set on the 940 tactical. But I'm hearing the a300 is giving it a run for it's money... I can't decide
I had an issue with my 940 pro tac where the shell would not feed correctly. I sent it to mossberg and they got it back in a couple weeks with a new barrel and that fixed that issue. The loading tube also has a few issues where the spring is too stiff for a full 7 shell load. Some videos online show clipping the spring down to fix the issue which seems simple enough. I love shooting my 940 but i was very upset with the quality out of the box.
I had a 940 and it was epic. Put 500 rds through it. 1 failure, and it was just me shooting too fast. All i had to do was rack it again. I ran high powered slugs and light birdshot. Incredible gun. Easy cleaning and you can put 1200 rds in between cleaning.
I'd love to buy one, but since I live in Illinois I would need to get the 5 shot version. I can't find it anywhere. It only seems to be available in Canada

When you talk Mossberg your talking to me. I have a Mossberg 500, 590pro, 930SPX and the 940pro. I just got my 940pro about 2 months ago and love it.
Mini shells?
He's there talking about the Ram and here I am looking at the sweet truck 23 secs in. I just love old beat up trucks.
The one I noticed looked like a surplus military 3/4 ton. They were so tuff Vietnam mud and DA Artillerymen couldn't stop it.
Brother, I own several Mossbergs, several for many years. they have never failed me!
Hey Colion Noir, I would love to see you give the gen12 a try and give us your honest feedback.
I love my 940 tactical. But I haven't tried disassembling it yet. I see some issues online
Love my Mossy! 12g pump.. 7+1 also!
Pumps FTW
1301 tactical all day over the mossberg and beretta owns Benelli
Beretta A300 > Mossberg 940
Not a fan of shotguns myself. But I did finally get the money up to buy my first AR.
Congrats. Welcome to the club!
Fan or not you should add it to your collection. Shotguns are top of the food chain when it comes to home defense.
Can't put dragons breath in an AR. J/S.
@@stillcantbesilencedevennowyet....🤣🤣
I prefer the A300 ultima patrol but this is nice.
"Affordable" meanwhile I look at the price and wonder if affordable still means what it used to mean.
👍
What is a Mossberg?
I just realized Colion is the marques brownlee of guns
My wife bought me one last year and I have to say, it is as fun as it gets. HB industries makes an amazing m-lok light mount with a qd sling mount built in as well as an insert that replaces the length of pull inserts that also has a qd sling mount. It makes it super slick and comfy. Mossberg added a shim kit that goes between the stock and receiver that changes the cant that makes it shoulder so much easier to the red dot. Definitely worth every penny spent.
I’ve always had mossys. My 930/40 SPX hybrid is fast as f.
I guess Colion too Staccato to know what a Maverick 88 is lol
That's a pump gun. Pump guns will never be as fast or soft-shooting as an autoloader, no matter how well made.
@@THall-vi8cp look up hikok45's auto vs pump.
Lil bit of work it becomes 8+1+1(ghost loaded) with just a little bit of removal of excess plastic inside the magazine tube
IWI Tavor TS12 comes 15+1, 16+1 with a ghost load 💥
I have a Saiga but I’m going to purchase a Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical with the light and optics. I thank you so much for your content. Your videos have taught me so much.
Get a beretta
Thank you for all your content I learn alot from it and look forward to the next one
Love my Mossberg 930spx. Maybe i need to love a Mossberg 940, too?
I pick up my 940 pro tactical on Friday.
@Colion - You forgot about the quick unload feature.
Wishing I would have got 1 of these instead of the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol right now. Out of the box the bolt release did not work properly. Sent it back to Beretta for repair. They had it for 1 month and sent it back. During shipping the charging handle rubbed a huge hole in the box, the handle fell out and was lost, and the receiver was all scratched up. Not only that, it was caked in cardboard dust anywhere there was oil. I sent it back to them and they told me they would send me a new one. Well, they didn't have a new one in stock and have to make one. They could not tell me when that would happen. That was 7 months ago and they still can't tell me when they will be able to make one to replace it. I asked for a refund and they said they can't refund it since I didn't buy it from them.
That’s a bummer. I was all set to buy one of those too but I noticed on Reddit shotgun subs people were posting about problems with them left and right. Looks like they still have some kinks to work out.
Just bought an all metal Turkish AR shotgun for 285$, but this video is convincing me to buy another shotgun. Gotta be prepared for that drone warfare.
Oooops. Gotta get another one. Haha.
Rescue a shotty today! Every shotty needs a loving home! And company so they are never alone!
Wouldn’t you want a longer barrel to shoot down drones?
@@BezmenovDisciple good point.
@@manicmartyr69 I like the way you think though. I’ve been thinking about taking up clay shooting just for that reason
Maybe if the lifter stayed up for loading like the 590....1301 with a tang safety would be nice though
This shotgun is amazing. My girlfriend has adopted my 940 pro tactical as her own. She loves it and tells me how fun it is to shoot. Now she keeps it by her bed for self defense when we’re not at the range.
Tang-mounted safeties just sound sexy. Prove me wrong.
Remington 11-87P
I’ll see your 1187 and raise you an 1100 from 1965
Hey Colion , I loved this video, since I just purchased a 940 Pro Tactical 12 ga. I don’t think you could of said it any better 💥🔫 thanks from Commy Ct 🇺🇸
American made. Perfect balance. Utterly reliable. The Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol, makes this shotgun look, well... cute.
I bought this gun two years ago. After less than 20 shots the magazine tube had a defect. Took Mossberg months to fix it inder warranty. That inconvenience aside, I love this shotgun.
I've seen other ytubers talking about warranty service troubles with M'berg. Now it's hard to not notice when the topic appears.
So far, I think that's what's keeping me off the brand.
Same with Smith and Wesson they csn be bitches about warranty@@OneWildTurkey
This or the A300 Ultima Patrol is the ultimate battle of semi auto shotguns.
You think that’s light pick up the 1031
Excited for this!
I would buy one if everything wasn't illegal here in the communist Republic of Illinois
You should be good. I live in Commiefornia and we can get them.
can't believe I haven't seen much on the thunder ranch version
Only those associated with Thunder Ranch are likely to promote it as Thunder Ranch likely gets a cut rather than Guntubers getting paid directly or indirectly by Mosberg to promote the the 940 Tactical.
Do you like it more then the BERETTA A300 ULTIMA PATROL
This or the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol?
I’ve been looking at getting a shotgun lately and this honestly just sold me
It is not a bad choice for many would recommend the Beretta A300 Patrol for close to the same price. See postings on Gundeals subreddit for pricing and feedback. It is also recommend on Shotguns subreddit.
Check out the berreta 1301. Or the patrol is more in this price range.
@@matthewbeaver5026 will do, definitely open to more suggestions
Looking up where to order one right now.
A couple of reasons to delete this guy:
This video seems more like an comersial than your other ones do. Smells bought and paid for.
Especially bc the gun is garbage!
Personally, I'll take the Ultima Partrol from Berretta.
sorry but i would not call $990 super affordable. Maybe for corp execs but not for the average american worker.
It is affordable for what it is. Considering other semi autos like Benelis and Berretas are 1500+
@@eliminator173 yes but there are tactical shotguns on the market for less than $600
@@durangodaveFor shotguns, you need to differentiate between pump and semi-auto shotguns when it comes to price.
@durangodave yea but with those you get the quality that you pay for. Semi autos at that price range are sketchy.
Just shot mine yesterday…I love the 940 Tactical. Also have the Maverick 88 pump, love that too! Every time I shoot the 940 I say Damm!… in good way lol.
I shared you video with Everybody!!
👍
👍...for what?
"WET hotdog DOWN a SLIPPERY hallway," is DIABOLICAL!!!
Ted Danson said exactly that about Whoopi Goldberg.
Affordable? Yes. Decent quality? No. Reliability? No. Customer service? Nope.
A good buy now that the 1301 price keeps going up and up.
New revision of the 1301 added nice features many had spent money for to install later themselves but Beretta raised the price a lot too. Many buy the A300 Patrol as a lower cost alternative.
Very reliable gun. I'm waiting for more heat shield options for mine.
This is the first and probably only time this guy is gonna make a review on a gun I already own
With 500s and 88s on the market it's hard to believe anyone would take another shotgun from any other manufacturer. Just saying the model destination will ring everyone's ears and tell everyone that you didn't break the bank for reliability.
Ergo, mossberg, wins again.
👍
👍 for what?
@@JSFGuy 👍
@@Sovietcaldo That's not an answer or a message.
I had a dealer search for this shotgun back when it was first released a couple years ago. After about three months I was a a local gun store and came across a Benelli M4 in the titanium cerakote. I bought it without hesitation. Two days later I got a call from the other gun store that they located the 940. Unfortunately I had to decline it, but it has been on my list of arms to buy next. Only bad part is that the list keeps growing
I’ve watched what seems like 1000 videos on this gun, and all except 2 are positive . Thanks for cementing my decision to get one. Almost got an M4 but I think I’ll save $1,000
I’m interested in one but it’s gonna be hard to replace my a300
Many prefer the A300 Patrol over the 940 Tactical for a 18.5" home defense shotgun.
Colion has started his country arc I see.
Now THIS is great f’n content 💪🏽! Love it
