GForce Arms GF3P/GFP3 20 Gauge Pump 28″ 4+1
About this product
What is the GForce Arms GF3P/GFP3 20 Gauge Pump 28″ 4+1? It's a Turkish-made pump-action shotgun with traditional walnut furniture designed for straightforward field use. This shotgun features a fixed modified choke and 28-inch barrel optimized for standard 20-gauge loads. The GF3P/GFP3 represents entry-level pricing while maintaining basic mechanical reliability.
What is the GForce Arms GF3P/GFP3 20 Gauge Pump used for?
This shotgun handles upland bird hunting and general range work effectively. The 28-inch barrel provides adequate swing dynamics for moving targets while the fixed modified choke patterns consistently at 40 yards. For clays or small game under 50 yards, it performs within expected parameters.
How does the GForce Arms GF3P/GFP3 compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge?
The GF3P/GFP3 costs approximately $210 while the Stevens 555 Sporting retails near $650. The Stevens offers superior fitment and over-under reliability, but for budget-conscious shooters needing basic function, the GForce delivers adequate performance at one-third the price.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This shotgun weighs 6.8 pounds and measures 50 inches overall length with a 28-inch barrel. The 14-inch length of pull accommodates average adult shooters, while the 3-inch chamber accepts standard and magnum shells. The balance point sits 18 inches from the receiver.
Who is this NOT for?
Competitive shooters requiring rapid follow-up shots should consider pump alternatives with smoother actions. The GF3P/GFP3's pump stroke requires 12 pounds of force compared to more refined models at 8-9 pounds. For high-volume shooting, the action wear becomes noticeable after 500 rounds.
What's in the box?
The package includes the shotgun, one magazine plug, and basic documentation. Unlike some competitors, no choke tubes or cleaning kit are provided. The dovetail rail comes unmounted, requiring installer-supplied screws for optic attachment.
Is the GForce Arms GF3P/GFP3 worth it at $210.99?
At this price point, it represents functional entry-level value. The Turkish walnut shows adequate grain but lacks the finishing of American hardwoods. For new shooters or occasional users, it delivers basic reliability without frills—similar to our Stevens 334 rifles in value proposition.
