It performed well in the TFB torture test, the updated internals replicate what the aftermarket has been doing to the 930, comes well setup out of the box which is why the price is higher but still nowhere near the cost of a well-appointed 1301 or M2/3/4
I'm not running out to replace my 930SPX that's got all the fixings, but the 940 Tactical is good option for someone looking to pickup a new 'tactica' semi-auto

I'll watch TFBTV on gootoob when I notice a new video of interest. Reeves is cocky but amusing once you get used to his "style".
A 930 has been on my list for over a decade but prices have not been where they need to be for me to buy one. The closest I came was about 5+ years ago when WM started to discontinue stocking semi-auto SGs and rifles. There was a base (with bead) 930 18" "home security" model they were clearancing at $400 I think. Or was it $300? Doing the math in my head I figured I would have to put another $200 into it to make it "right" so why not just buy a JM model for $300 more. I do regret not getting it at the time...
Maybe with the intro of the 940, 930 prices will come down? Looking at the Mossberg site, the 940 Pro MSRP is close to $1200! Maybe because they have to pay for the Miculeks' ammo expenses?
BTW, Welcome Aboard!

I’m a Mossberg fan and have 2 930 based semi Mossy shotguns. I’m also a tinkerer so basically I’ve turned them into something between a 930 and a 940. Both are really fun to shoot and reliable enough to be trustworthy HD options. Downside is the time to disassemble, inspect, clean and reassemble.
I think you’ll be happy with your purchase. Let us know how it goes.
DL. There is a great video on YouTube by Jerry Miculek that guides you thru the disassembly, cleaning and reassembly. It’s for a 930 but the 940 is the same with some upgrades. Post pics.
Well the gun arrived at my gun shop last Thursday so I did the paperwork and thought I'd take it home. Nope, the stupid background checks are taking 2-5 days! No call today and tomorrow will be day #3. Ridiculous. This is the first time in 19 yrs in NV I didn't leave with the gun.
That sucks. The FFLs I've used charge $25 for everything and im usually in and out in under 20 minutes.
