Also, it comes with an extended control, as well as an MLOK compatibility slot. Its sear and hammer are nickel boron-coated to ensure durability and corrosion resistance.
Its redesigned gas system is self-cleaning, and helps keep the gun running more reliably. The sleeves and pistons direct fuel away from the tube of the magazine.

Internally, it has corrosion-resistant nickel-boron-coated surfaces for the magazine tube, gas piston, sear and hammer. The gun is more durable and runs smoothly.
Accu-Choke lets you use the 940 consistently with everything between 3-inch magnums and lighter target loads, without altering the pressure of its gas. The system works by venting excess gas through holes on the barrel and lug. What happens with this technique is that it slows bolt speed and the amount of pressure that is fired when firing heavier loads.
The Accu-Choke’s enlarged loading hole removes the stinging feeling on shooters’ fingers who feed the rounds. The Accu-Choke also assists the shooter load it even in poor lighting situations or even in adverse weather that is crucial for defensive purposes. Also the knurled bolt handle as well as the serrated trigger are large enough for easy manipulation.

The larger loading port, beveled elevator, as well as anodized follower make for easy reloading.
One of the major enhancements that Mossberg added to this gun was to address the pressure variations that come from different types of 12-gauge ammunition. It is difficult to design semi-automatics that are able to deal with the different pressures of ammunitions, ranging from 2 3/4″ load to 3 inch magnum slugs. A new gas system is designed to address the issue by releasing excess gas into the top of the piston, thereby slowing down the bolt’s speed.
Apart from a revamped gas system as well as a new gas tank, the 940 Pro Tactical’s receiver made of aluminum has been redesigned to permit the direct mount of Shield RMSc micro dots (with the cover plate that is included even when the optical isn’t currently being used).

Fiber Optic Front Sight
Finding the best gun sights for your handgun is essential. The type of sight you pick is dependent on your shooting situation and what you plan to use the handgun for. In the case of example, if you’ll be using the shotgun for self-defense in dim lighting, tritium or night sights are the right way to go.

Fiber optic sights work by collecting Mossbergforsale.com ambient light and redirecting it toward the front post of the sight. They’re usually made of a strand of fluoresced or colored fiber coated with a protective layer. These are available in a range of colors and sizes and highlight different front sight-aiming areas. These are ideal for environments with limited light or in the day, since they are able to be utilized in both. Also, they come with the advantage of a long-lasting lifespan.
Fiber optic sights are simple to see in any light conditions. The sights can be more bright and more easy to match targets with than tritium. Additionally, they provide the most precise view, making them a good option for shooting tactical shooters competing in competitions.

The 940 series uses a redesigned piston that vents excess gas and a spring-loaded valve within the gas block holds only enough propellant in order to turn the gun. This is considerably more reliable than Mossberg’s traditional pusher designs used on the 930 and 935 earlier models.
This piston upgrade will allow the 940 Pro Tactical to use a variety of ammunitions with a 12-gauge gauge, including ultra-light birdshots up to 3 inches magnumslugs. This new piston, with a tube which connects to twin operating rods, can compensate for different ranges of pressure in ammunition.
The 940 Pro Tactical also features an improved loading port that allows to quad-load (for those with the ability to do it). Mossberg expanded the size of the shell lifter or elevator, to drastically reduce the risk of getting pinched as you’re speed-loading.
