GForce Arms GF3P .410 Bore 26″ Pump-Action Shotgun
About this product
What is the GForce Arms GF3P .410 Bore 26″ Pump-Action Shotgun? It’s a pump-action shotgun chambered in .410 bore designed for compact handling and straightforward operation. The GF3P pairs straightforward, no-nonsense operation with traditional styling and a durable finish, delivering a reliable package for shooters who value simplicity and utility.
What is the GForce Arms GF3P used for?
The GForce Arms GF3P is primarily used for small game hunting and recreational shooting. Its 26-inch barrel and modified choke provide a balanced pattern for squirrel and rabbit hunting at ranges up to 30 yards. The 4+1 capacity and pump action make it suitable for extended range sessions without frequent reloading.
How does the GForce Arms GF3P compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U .410 Bore?
The GF3P offers more immediate follow-up capability than the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U .410 Bore due to its pump action versus break-action design. The Stevens provides quicker barrel switching but requires manual ejection after each shot, while the GF3P maintains a consistent 4+1 capacity for rapid engagement. For sustained shooting under 25 yards, the GF3P’s action is more practical.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The GF3P weighs 6.8 pounds with an overall length of 50 inches and barrel length of 26 inches. The 14-inch length of pull accommodates most adult shooters, while the 3-inch chamber handles standard .410 loads. The balance point sits 18 inches from the receiver, making it muzzle-light for quick shoulder transitions.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is not for waterfowl hunters or those needing interchangeable chokes. The fixed modified choke limits pattern adjustment for different game, and the .410 bore lacks the energy for consistent waterfowl takedowns. Serious clay shooters should consider the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U Shotgun for its choke tubes and balanced O/U handling.
What's in the box?
The box includes the GF3P shotgun, one 4-round magazine tube, and owner’s manual. No additional chokes or accessories are provided—the fixed modified choke is integral to the 26-inch barrel. The Cerakote finish requires minimal maintenance out of the box, but a basic cleaning kit is recommended for initial use.
Is the GForce Arms GF3P worth it at $210.99?
At $210.99, the GF3P is worth it for entry-level shooters or those seeking a dedicated small-game tool. The Turkish walnut stock and Cerakote finish offer durability uncommon in this price range, though the action may require breaking in over the first 200 rounds. Compared to similarly priced break-actions, the pump mechanism adds versatility for repetitive shooting drills.

Trade-offs

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with 2.5-inch .410 shells?
- Yes, the GF3P's 3-inch chamber accepts both 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 shells without modification. The action cycles reliably with standard target loads as light as 1/2 ounce. Heavier 3-inch magnum loads may increase felt recoil but function without issue.
- Does it fit in a standard 52-inch rifle case?
- Yes, the GF3P's 50-inch overall length fits comfortably in most 52-inch rifle cases. Allow 1-2 inches of padding at the muzzle end to prevent finish damage. Hard cases from Plano or Pelican provide optimal protection during transport.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard shipping takes 5-7 business days after FFL verification. Expedited options reduce transit to 2-3 days but require signature upon delivery. All shipments comply with ATF regulations and require valid FFL documentation.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unfired firearms in original packaging. The 14-inch length of pull is fixed, so physical fit should be verified before purchase. Custom stock work may void the manufacturer's warranty if modifications are irreversible.
- Does this work with .410 muzzle devices?
- The GF3P’s barrel is not threaded for choke tubes or muzzle devices. The fixed modified choke is integral to the 26-inch barrel profile. Aftermarket threading services from companies like Carlson's can modify the barrel for approximately $150 plus shipping.
