Description
The ATI Shotforce Deluxe Heat Shield solves two problems at once. It keeps your support hand off a barrel that heats up fast during range sessions or back-to-back drills, and it gives your pump gun a proper set of aiming sights instead of the little factory bead. The shield is formed from steel and runs 13.5 inches long, with elongated cooling slots cut down the sides so heat sheds quickly instead of building up under your hand.
What sets the Deluxe apart from a plain shield is the mounted sight package. It ships with AR-15-style fixed nylon ghost ring sights that install onto the shield before it goes on the gun, so you end up with a rear aperture and front post that pull your eye onto target quicker than a bead ever will. If you run a red dot or a scope on the same shotgun, the ghost rings pop off and stay out of the way.
Fitment Notes for the Shotforce Deluxe
This one adapts to most 12, 16, 20 gauge and .410 pump barrels, and it works on a wide range of platforms including Remington 870, Maverick 88, Stevens 320, and similar guns. The rule of thumb is simple: the barrel lug needs to sit more than 13.5 inches from the receiver, so measure before you order. It is not made for vent rib barrels, Mossberg 590A barrels, or marine-coat guns like the Mossberg Mariner. Some barrels benefit from a little custom fitting, and ATI recommends a gunsmith if you are not comfortable filing tabs or bending the clamp yourself.
Installing the ATI Shotforce Heat Shield
Setup is refreshingly low-tech. You seat the ghost ring sights first, then remove the barrel, widen the front clamp slightly, slide the shield into place, bend the rear tabs down over the barrel, and lock everything with the supplied screws and nuts. A cloth over the tabs keeps the finish clean while you work. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty and finished in matte black, it is a straightforward way to toughen up the look and function of a working pump gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Shotforce Deluxe heat shield fit my shotgun?
It adapts to most 12, 16, 20 gauge and .410 pump shotgun barrels, including guns like the Remington 870, Maverick 88, and Stevens 320. The key is measuring the distance from the receiver to the barrel lug, which needs to be more than 13.5 inches for the shield to seat correctly. It does not fit vent rib barrels, Mossberg 590A barrels, or marine-coated guns like the Mossberg Mariner.
How hard is it to install the ATI Shotforce heat shield?
Most people find it a manageable at-home job with basic tools. You mount the ghost ring sights first, remove the barrel, slide the shield on, bend the rear tabs to clamp it, and secure it with the included screws and nuts. Depending on your specific barrel, a little filing or fitting may help it sit flush, and a gunsmith can handle it if you would rather not do that yourself.
Can I still use a red dot or scope with this heat shield?
Yes. The ghost ring sights are removable, so if you run an optic on the same shotgun you can take the sights off the shield and use it purely as a barrel guard. That keeps your sight line clear while still protecting your hand from heat.
Does the Shotforce Deluxe heat shield actually keep the barrel cooler to the touch?
The elongated cooling slots are designed to shed heat quickly rather than let it build up under your hand. The main job is protecting your support hand from a hot barrel during extended shooting, and users regularly report it stays reasonably cool during range use. It is steel-formed, so it holds up well to repeated sessions.
