The Gatlander is GForce Arms' first inertia-driven shotgun, and they picked a good system to build around. Instead of bleeding gas out of the barrel to cycle the action, the inertia setup uses recoil energy itself, which keeps fouling out of the receiver and means less scrubbing between range trips. It also tends to run a little softer on the shoulder, something you notice quickly when you're feeding it full-power 12 gauge loads. The 18.5 inch barrel is 4140 chromoly steel, the receiver is aluminum alloy to keep weight around 7 pounds, and the whole thing measures a handy 39.75 inches from muzzle to buttpad.
This one comes ready to aim out of the box. A raised front sight pairs with a ghost ring rear for fast, natural target acquisition, and a Weaver-style Picatinny rail up top gives you room for a red dot if that's more your speed. Sling mounts front and rear make it easy to set up for carry, and the cross-bolt safety sits right behind the trigger where your finger expects it. The Turkish walnut stock and ribbed forend give it a classic look that stands out in a category full of black polymer, and the checkering keeps your grip planted even with gloves on.
The Gatlander chambers both 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells and holds 5+1, so it handles everything from light target loads to stout buckshot and magnum hunting rounds. GForce includes three choke tubes cut for Benelli Mobil threads: Cylinder for wide defensive patterns, Modified for all-around work, and Full for tighter reach when you take it afield. That flexibility is what makes this gun more than a bedside shotgun. Screw in the right tube and it pulls double duty on turkeys, small game, or clays at the club.
For the money, the Gatlander packs a lot of proven design into one package: inertia reliability, real wood furniture, usable sights, and choke versatility. It's a working shotgun that looks good doing it.
Inertia actions cycle using recoil energy instead of tapping gas from the barrel, so combustion gases and fouling stay out of the action. That translates to easier cleaning, fewer moving parts, and consistent cycling in dirty conditions. It's the same basic operating concept made famous by some of the most respected semi-auto shotguns on the market.
Inertia guns generally like a bit of energy behind the shell, so full-power loads in the 1 1/8 oz range and up are the sure bet. Many owners find it smooths out with lighter ammo after a short break-in period. If you plan to run reduced-recoil buckshot or light birdshot, put a few boxes through it first to confirm reliable function.
The Gatlander uses Benelli Mobil thread pattern chokes, one of the most common systems out there, so aftermarket tubes are easy to find. It ships with Full, Modified, and Cylinder tubes, which covers most defensive and field uses right from the start.
Yes. The receiver wears a Weaver-style Picatinny rail on top, so most rail-mounted red dots and optics bolt right on. The raised front sight and ghost ring rear also give you a solid iron sight setup if you'd rather skip the optic entirely.
