Mossberg 940 pro turkey

[Chief Razor]

The only semi auto with a 21-22” barrel I’ve seen is the 11/87. There’s lots of semi 20’s but they all have 24” barrels. I agree that no one is putting together my dream turkey gun. Short stock, short barrel, bottomland or obsession, drilled and tapped, 20ga!

The Escort youth PS 20 I just picked up is really close to that. Its getting drilled and tapped tomorrow. Every other box is checked.

Per Mossberg’s web site it says: “940 Pro Turkey shotguns come optic-ready, with receiver cuts that accept low-profile direct mounting of Shield RMSc-pattern micro dot sights.” Looks like it just fits the Shield series unless someone makes an adapter plate. You would have thought the Fastfire/Viper base would have been more popular….

I'm assuming if they made it fit a specific model, they'd have some sort of agreement/contract with them. I would assume that either Mossberg owns a share of the company or the company paid some amount for it to fit theirs exclusively thinking it would increase their sales enough to pay off.

Is that a popular sight in other shooting circles? I've not heard of it before but I don't get around a lot.

I got to shoulder one of these guns yesterday..didn’t feel nothing special to me but my short arms it takes a compact to feel good to me..I did like the gun and the shirt barrel..If the make a 20ga I will have one..was actually impressed by the dip..most of the time a factory dipped gun leaves a lot to be desired.

I noticed that one of the local sporting goods stores had a Mossberg 930 pistol grip in 12 and a 500 pump in 410. The 12 felt nice but I need one like I need a hole in my head. I'd go with the 940 if I was looking for a new 12. The .410 was pretty cool, but I can't say that I have a ton of interest in hunting with one. Still a cool looking gun. I was kind of shocked that they had them, at least the pistol grip turkey 12. Turkey guns aren't hot items here.

I held the 940 when I visited the Mossberg booth

It surprised me on how nice it felt. Felt like I was holding my beretta 1301 tactical. If it shoots as good as it felt, it will be a winner. I’m ordering on this week

Do you guys feel the 18.5 Barrel is to short? also is it a heavy gun?

[Chief Razor]

I wouldnt be afraid of the barrel, might loose a bit of velocity. The weight is over 7lbs so its a non starter for me. Now that same gun in a 6lbs +/- 20 gauge would be a different story.

Held one yesterday. In my opinion 18.5” is perfect, it’s too heavy for me! If they shaved a pound and a half off and made it in a 20ga I would buy it in a second!
