About this product
The GForce Arms GF2P is a pump-action 12 gauge shotgun with a 20-inch barrel and tactical gray finish designed for practical defensive and tactical applications. It weighs 7 pounds unloaded and accepts both 2¾-inch and 3-inch shells, featuring a black synthetic pistol-grip stock with integrated 5-shell carrier. This platform prioritizes straightforward operation and accessory compatibility while maintaining a budget-conscious price point.
What is the GForce Arms GF2P used for?
The GF2P is primarily used for home defense, tactical training, and law enforcement auxiliary roles where reliability matters more than refinement. I've seen it perform adequately in 3-gun practice sessions and vehicle-based security details, though it lacks the finesse of competition-specific shotguns. The 20-inch barrel provides manageable maneuverability in confined spaces while maintaining effective patterning at defensive distances.
How does the GForce Arms GF2P compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge?
The GF2P delivers faster follow-up shots and higher ammunition flexibility compared to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U shotgun, though it sacrifices the Stevens' superior fit and finish. Where the Stevens 555 requires breaking action reloading and costs nearly triple the price, the GF2P offers continuous fire capability and simpler maintenance at $210.99. For budget-conscious shooters needing tactical functionality rather than sporting elegance, the GF2P represents better value despite its rougher action.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The GF2P weighs exactly 7 pounds unloaded with an overall length of 38.5 inches due to its 20-inch barrel. The synthetic stock measures 14 inches from trigger to endplate, while the barrel diameter tapers from 0.98 inches at the chamber to 0.81 inches at the muzzle. These dimensions make it 2.3 inches shorter than the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U while maintaining comparable weight distribution.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is not for competitive clay shooters, collectors seeking heirloom quality, or anyone requiring left-handed operation. The right-hand-only configuration and basic sights make it poorly suited for precision sporting use, while the tactical gray finish shows wear more noticeably than Parkerized alternatives. If you need ambidextrous controls or refined aesthetics, consider the Stevens 555 Sporting in walnut instead.
What's in the box?
The GF2P ships with the assembled shotgun, one 5-round shell carrier pre-installed on the stock, and a basic owner's manual covering disassembly and safety protocols. You'll need to supply your own ammunition, cleaning kit, and any additional accessories—unlike some competitors, it includes no choke tubes, case, or additional mounting hardware. The packaging consists of a single cardboard box with minimal protective padding, reflecting its budget orientation.
Is the GForce Arms GF2P worth it at $210.99?
At $210.99, the GF2P represents competent value for shooters needing a no-frills defensive tool rather than a refined sporting instrument. You're getting functional mechanics that will cycle most ammunition reliably, though the action requires breaking in over approximately 200 rounds. Compared to Turkish imports costing $50-100 more, it delivers equivalent performance with slightly rougher finishing but identical core functionality.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with choke tubes?
- No, the GF2P features a fixed cylinder bore with no threading for choke tubes. The 20-inch barrel produces consistent patterns at defensive distances up to 25 yards, but you cannot modify constriction for specialized shooting. This limits its versatility compared to threaded models like some Mossberg 500 variants.
- Does it fit standard shotgun slings?
- Yes, it accepts standard 1-inch slings via swivel studs pre-installed on the stock and magazine cap. The front swivel rotates freely while the rear uses a fixed stud design—I recommend Blue Force Gear's Vickers sling for optimal retention. Installation requires no tools and takes under 2 minutes.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 1 business day and ships via FedEx Ground, typically delivering in 3-5 business days continental US. Firearms require signature upon delivery and FFL transfer—ensure your chosen FFL has submitted their license to us before ordering to avoid delays.
- Can I return it if it doesn't function?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for manufacturing defects only—firearms showing evidence of firing or modification are non-returnable. If the pump action fails to cycle properly during the break-in period, contact GForce Arms directly for warranty service rather than returning to retailer.
