Description
Some shotguns try to do everything. The GForce Arms GFP3 keeps it simple: a tube-fed 12 gauge pump with a 3 inch chamber that happily digests both 2-3/4 and 3 inch shells. The 20 inch barrel splits the difference nicely between a short defensive gun and a longer field barrel, giving you a package that swings quick indoors but still patterns well when you stretch things out. At around 7 pounds, it carries easily and soaks up recoil better than the featherweight tactical guns out there.
What Makes the GFP3 Worth a Look
Twin action bars keep the pump stroke smooth and running straight, which matters a lot more than people give it credit for on a working shotgun. The matte black synthetic stock and forend shrug off weather and rough handling, and the rubber recoil pad takes the sting out of longer sessions with buckshot or heavy loads. Up front you get a classic bead sight that stays fast and snag-free, plus a Picatinny rail on the forend so you can hang a light or laser without any gunsmithing. The fixed modified choke throws consistent, usable patterns whether you are running buck, birdshot, or slugs at reasonable distances.
Feeding and Running the GFP3 Pump Shotgun
Capacity sits at 4+1, and loading the tube is straightforward with a generously sized loading port. Owners consistently mention how smoothly this gun cycles right out of the box, and it has built a reputation for running round after round without fuss. The cross-bolt safety sits right where your trigger finger expects it, so anyone who has spent time behind a traditional pump gun will feel at home immediately.
A Working Gun That Earns Its Keep
The GFP3 fits the bill for a truck gun, a bedside shotgun, or a first 12 gauge for someone learning the ropes. It is the kind of tool you can hand to a new shooter without a long briefing, and it leaves plenty of room in the budget for ammo, which is where the real learning happens anyway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the GForce Arms GFP3 shoot both 2-3/4 inch and 3 inch shells?
Yes. The GFP3 has a 3 inch chamber, so it handles both 2-3/4 and 3 inch 12 gauge shotshells. That covers everything from light target loads for practice up to full-power 3 inch buckshot and slugs.
Can I mount a light or optic on the GFP3?
The forend includes a Picatinny rail, which is a natural spot for a weapon light or laser. Owners have also added red dots and slings, so there is decent room to set the gun up the way you like without a trip to the gunsmith.
Is the GFP3 a good home defense shotgun?
It checks the right boxes: a manageable 20 inch barrel, smooth twin action bar pump stroke, simple bead sight, and 4+1 capacity. The pump action is about as reliable as shotgun designs get since you control the cycling yourself. It is also light enough at roughly 7 pounds to handle quickly in tight spaces.
Does the GFP3 have interchangeable chokes?
No, this model uses a fixed modified choke. Modified is a solid middle-of-the-road constriction that patterns well with buckshot and birdshot at typical defensive and close-range distances. If you want swappable chokes, GForce offers other GFP3 variants with longer barrels that use interchangeable choke tubes.
