Mesa Tactical Truckee Forend

A 12-ga. shotgun can be a devastatingly potent defensive platform, but even the tactical models often aren’t configured terribly well for installing accessories—which is unfortunate given just how vital a light is on any home-defense firearm.

Made from durable but lightweight heat-treated aluminum, Mesa Tactical’s line of Truckee Forends address this dilemma by offering a slew of M-Lok slots at the 3-, 6- and 9-o’clock positions for the convenient mounting of a weapon light and/or other tools.

Versions are available for the Benelli M4, Beretta 1301, Mossberg 930/940 (shown) and Remington 870 and V3 (some are offered in multiple lengths), and most can be installed or removed without the assistance of tools.

MSRP is $165. For more information, visit mesatactical.com.
