Consistent with all Mossberg shotguns, this model series has the same ambidextrous thumb-operated safety switch positioned in the middle of the receiver.
The 9200 was a general platform with several grades of finish and features and primarily intended for hunting and sport shooting.
[2] The Crown Grade model had a high-quality Walnut hardwood stock, polished blued finish, and a 22, 24, 26, or 28 inch vent-rib or slug barrel.
Mossberg also produced a "Persuader" model under their "Special Purpose" line which had a parkerized finish, a synthetic stock, and an 18.5 inch barrel and was intended for tactical or law enforcement use.
In response, Mossberg produced a variant of the 9200 called 9200A1 or "Jungle Gun"[6] designed to the JSCS specifications and submitted for review, however, the 9200A1 was not selected.
