This product showcase from Palmetto State Armory details the Mossberg 940 Pro SPX, a tactical variant of the popular 940 shotgun line. The review highlights its updated features, including a redesigned handguard with M-LOK compatibility, an enlarged loading port, and an improved gas system for enhanced reliability and softer recoil. Ballistic testing with various buckshot loads demonstrates its effective pattern density at 20 yards.

This review provides an in-depth look at the Benelli M1014 civilian variant, highlighting its features, performance, and differences from its military counterpart. The presenter, having used the shotgun for a month, details its ARGO gas system, fixed choke, and ghost ring sights. Testing includes buckshot spread and penetration at various distances through a car door, as well as slug accuracy out to 50 yards, concluding it's a durable defensive shotgun.

This review of the Tristar Raptor ATAC tactical 12 gauge shotgun covers its features, performance, and value. The presenter highlights its budget-friendly price point (under $400), adjustable sights, and the rare ability for a tactical shotgun to accept interchangeable choke tubes, specifically Benelli Mobile chokes. While generally reliable with high-brass loads, low-brass ammunition can cause cycling issues, especially in colder temperatures. The shotgun demonstrates decent performance with buckshot and slugs at various ranges, though accuracy can vary by ammunition type and choke selection. The presenter notes good ergonomics and a comfortable shooting experience, but also points out potential reliability quirks, possibly related to older models or a lack of cleaning.

This video tests the performance of a Taurus Judge 2.5-inch chamber, 3-inch barrel handgun with Winchester PDX1 .410 shotshells at a distance of 20 yards. The ammunition features three 'defense discs' (mini-slugs) followed by 12 #4 buckshot pellets. The test aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this load at a range beyond typical close-quarters engagements.

This review compares the finish, sights, and length of pull on three shotguns: the Remington Express, Mossberg 590, and Benelli Supernova. The Remington's finish is noted as poor and prone to rust, while the Mossberg and Benelli offer more durable finishes. Sight systems vary, with the Benelli's being best for static targets and the Mossberg's offering versatility. Length of pull differences significantly impact shouldering and recoil management, with the Benelli's pistol grip and canted stock offering a comfortable, quick-mounting option.
