This review compares the semi-automatic actions of the Mossberg 940 Pro SPX against the Beretta 1301 Tactical and Benelli M4. The Mossberg's action is noted for its intuitive, automatic chambering of rounds when the bolt is cycled, similar to rifles and pistols. In contrast, the Beretta and Benelli designs utilize a cartridge release lever, requiring an extra step to chamber a round but offering advantages like 'cruiser ready' storage and easier ammunition swaps. The video highlights that while the Mossberg action may be simpler for beginners, the Beretta/Benelli system provides specific tactical benefits for trained users, stressing the importance of familiarity with one's own firearm.

Designing reliable semi-automatic shotguns presents unique challenges primarily due to the rimmed shotgun shell, which complicates feeding and stacking in magazines. The wide variance in ammunition energy, from light birdshot to heavy slugs, further complicates the design of gas or recoil-operated actions. Consequently, many semi-auto designs require manual adjustments, making the versatile pump-action shotgun a persistent favorite.
