That's a really good deal for a really fine gun!

Yep; a hundred bucks less than I paid for mine 15 months ago. Add to that: under Bidenomics, a 2023 dollar is, in actual spending power, worth 92.6 cents of a 2022 dollar.

And did I mention how much fun it is to shoot this puppy? I have what used to be called a Knox stock (Blackhawk bought the company) on my 870 pump, and it does a good job of reducing recoil. But the 940 feels even a bit softer than that. And disposing of a tube full of shells as fast as you can (accurately) pull the trigger is way better than the pump activation I got used to. My go-to HD firearm was an AR with a 40-round Pmag. When I'm home, I still keep the AR accessible as a secondary, but 7+1 2.75" 00 Buck gives me 5, .33 pellets per round for a total of 40 projectiles with 8 trigger presses. I figure I'll have a really big problem on my hands if that isn't dissuasive enough.

If I come into some extra, unexpected money, I'd still like to have a Benelli, but I'm happy with the Mossberg.

That appears to be a fine shotgun and for a great price. I think I've had my Benelli 3-gun for about 10 years now, but if I were shopping today might just go with this instead. About the only thing other than name I get with mine is the barrel length. When some of us have gone to Elm Fork here to shoot skeet they require a minimum barrel length of 21" and that is just what the 3-gun model is. They would stop by every time we were there to check mine. An 18.5" barrel might not do well for skeet. Might be fun to try at a place that wouldn't care.

I have a Benelli M2 3-Gun. It probably has the same system and has been fantastic. The only time it has ever failed to go bang is the two times I activated the safety and forgot to deactivate it before yelling "pull." It has been so reliable that I'm able to tease the other guys in my club when their semis malfunction and no one says anything to me about mine.

I don't know what that "blink" system is, but I can fire 4 rounds before the first empty case hits the ground. I can fire it from my hip, not against it, with regular #8 1oz 1290fps loads and still have it cycle properly through multiple rounds. I was trying this to see if it would before letting my wife shoot it just to see what her options were if she ever needed to use it. She's petite at only 5' tall and after firing it once decided she didn't want to do that again. So, FYI, it seems to be a little much for a smaller woman. My daughter, OTHO, is around 5'5" and much more of an athlete and fires it just fine. She still prefers her 20ga O/U, but would shoot the Benelli.

Here's the M4 in action.
