This was their first piston-driven shotgun, and the dual-piston design meant less recoil and less cleaning. An Italian-based company, Benelli designed the M4 in 1998 specifically for the U.S. This shotgun is steeped in history and has proven itself through the decades. To be honest, a lot of the Benelli’s price is in its name and reputation. Your basic defensive shotgun doesn't need thrills, but what is the benefit of the M4’s features? What makes a shotgun worth $2,000? Next, let's look at what adding an extra “0” to the price tag gets you. It will easily accept upgrades, but out of the box for the price, GForce offers a good deal. It offers some good features, such as the Picatinny rails, pistol grip, and its overall reasonable length for defensive use. If budget and reliability are the goal, the GF3T will certainly get the job done. Afterall, not everyone has a large and expendable gun budget. It’s important to have firearms in all price ranges. But during our testing, there were no malfunctions or issues. I’d be very interested in putting it through some long-term testing to see how it holds up.

The GF3T is a working and (seemingly) reliable shotgun. At $200, you really can’t beat the price. The GF3T is a defensive shotgun and, most likely, the target audience is someone who is perhaps looking for their first one.įor the person who simply needs an inexpensive defensive shotgun, this is a great option. It also has a low capacity and the sighting system needs to be upgraded. Drawbacks are the lack of ability to shoot slugs and interchange chokes. The things to think about with a gun in this price range is what it lacks for the purpose it is given. The sights, like the shotgun itself, are a budget affair. (Photo: Ben Philippi/) Stippling the plastic would easily cure this, and a really nice feature on the fore-end is the Picatinny rail, which would be perfect for adding any accessories. With even slightly sweaty hands, it was easy to slip off the fore-end. Couple that with a long length of pull, and this made the gun harder to grab for pumping the action. However, there was a noticeable discomfort when shooting because of the fore-end. Even after multiple boxes, the GF3T never hiccuped and proved plenty reliable.

Loading up the magazine tube to its full capacity of four rounds, the next test was cycling every shell through the gun. Most of the BBs impacted within a 10-inch spread. At 10 yards, on paper, it wanted a 6-o'clock hold and left a fairly decent pattern size. First, we patterned the shotgun to see exactly where it was hitting and what kind of spread we were working with. But, determined to shoot it out of the box like most new shotgun owners likely would, I overlooked the rear sight and used just the front. With the receiver-mounted Picatinny rail, adding a red dot would easily and quickly remedy the factory sights. But with a shotgun, the point of aim to point of impact is all we need.

Both sights were a little wobbly and obviously inexpensive. However, right out of the box, the rear sight was quite out of whack. This pump-action shotty does come with a front optic and ghost rings. Not being able to shoot slugs is also a drawback, though why GForce does not recommend slugs is unclear. A removable choke, however, would allow the shooter to gain a tighter pattern and perhaps a more deadly hit. It is widely believed that cylinder-bore chokes are the best size for defensive shotguns, offering a wider pattern that has a better likelihood of getting your hits on target. It also does not have a removable choke, meaning all shots have cylinder-bore patterning. It will shoot up to 3-inch shells, but it is not rated for slugs. The GF3T is a pump-action shotgun chambered in 12 gauge with a pistol grip. To be honest, there is not a lot of information about GForce out there right now, so it seemed best to just shoot this gun and see for ourselves how it performs. They make an array of inexpensive defensive and hunting shotguns that are newer to the market. Turkey is actually one of the largest shotgun exporters in the world, so this comes at very little surprise for those who have been watching the Turkish gun market. GForce is a Nevada-based company that sources its shotguns from Radikal Arms in Turkey.
