GForce Arms GF ONE 12 Gauge 28in Semi-Auto Shotgun

What is the GForce Arms GF ONE? It's an inertia-driven semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun engineered for reliable performance in the demanding, corrosive environments of waterfowl and field hunting. It pairs a 28-inch ventilated rib barrel with a Flat Dark Earth synthetic stock and a proprietary Midnight Bronze Cerakote finish designed for corrosion resistance. The included five-choke Crio set and HiViz front sight make it a versatile, ready-to-hunt package that requires minimal user tuning.

What is the GForce Arms GF ONE used for?

The GF ONE is used for waterfowl hunting, specifically in the blind over decoys, and general field use for game like upland birds. Its 28-inch barrel and 50-inch overall length provide the long sight plane and swing dynamics favored by pass-shooting and waterfowl hunters, while the inertia-driven system reduces felt recoil compared to many gas-operated models. The stainless steel internal components and corrosion-resistant finish are direct responses to the saltwater, marsh mud, and persistent moisture that ruin lesser guns.

How does the GForce Arms GF ONE compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U?

The GF ONE is a more practical, low-maintenance choice for hunting in foul weather, while the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U is fundamentally a different tool for sporting clays or field hunting in drier conditions. The GF ONE's synthetic stock and Cerakote finish will shrug off rain, mud, and boat transport that would degrade the Stevens 555's walnut stock and blued steel. However, for dedicated clay target shooting where balance and precise pointability are paramount, most shooters will prefer the heftier, more stable 30-inch barrels of a platform like the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The shotgun weighs 7 pounds 3 ounces (3.27 kg) and measures 50 inches (127 cm) in overall length with a 28-inch (71.1 cm) barrel. That specific weight distribution, with a slight forward bias from the 28-inch tube, aids in a smooth follow-through on crossing shots typical in waterfowling. Its 5.5-pound trigger pull, 14.5-inch length of pull, and 1.5-inch drop at comb are out-of-the-box dimensions suitable for most adult shooters in field jackets.

Who is this NOT for?

This shotgun is not for the trap shooter who needs absolute consistency for 100-yard crossers or the hunter who exclusively pursues turkeys from a static position. The inertia system can be finicky with extremely light target loads below 1-1/8 oz., potentially causing short-stroking, which is a non-issue for dedicated sporting shotguns. If your primary need is a dedicated slug-shooting deer gun, a rifle-sighted, rifled-barrel model like the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win is a more precise and purpose-built alternative.

What's in the box?

In the box, you receive the shotgun with the synthetic stock installed, the factory-installed Improved Cylinder choke, and four additional Crio-style chokes (Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full) in a plastic carrier. Also included are the HiViz front sight, a chamber flag, a basic synthetic choke wrench, and the owner's manual and warranty card. Note that a hard-sided case is not included; budget for a quality 51-inch takedown case for transport and storage.

Is the GForce Arms GF ONE worth it at $536.99?

At $536.99, the GF ONE is worth it for the waterfowler who needs a corrosion-resistant workhorse and doesn't want to baby a more expensive, prettier gun. The value proposition is clear: you're paying for the functional package of a proven inertia system, durable finish, and a full five-choke set—features that often require a $150-250 upcharge on base models from other brands. For a shooter whose season is measured in mud-covered days, not pristine rounds of clays, this represents a solid return on investment in pure utility.
