Key Features
- Geometric Pump System (GPS): RETAY’s proprietary action uses a dual-action bar design with a rotating bolt head. Why it matters: this reduces friction and binding, so you get smooth, fast cycling even with heavy loads or in dirty conditions.
- Fixed Pistol Grip Stock: The synthetic stock has an integrated pistol grip and a textured forend. Why it matters: it gives you a locked-in, vertical wrist position for better control during rapid fire and one-handed manipulation.
- Interchangeable Choke System: Ships with modified, improved cylinder, and full choke tubes. Why it matters: you can tune the pattern for slugs, buckshot, or birdshot without buying a second barrel.
- High-Visibility Front Sight: A bright orange fiber-optic front bead sits on a raised ramp. Why it matters: target acquisition is instant in low light or high-stress scenarios, which is critical for defensive use.
- Reduced Recoil Internals: A heavy recoil spring and cushioned buttpad absorb energy. Why it matters: you stay on target faster for follow-up shots, and your shoulder won’t feel pounded after a box of shells.
Who It’s For
This shotgun fits shooters who want a compact, reliable pump for home defense or range practice without paying for a custom build. New shooters will appreciate the low recoil and simple controls. Experienced users will like the interchangeable chokes and GPS action for fast, consistent cycling. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly 12-gauge that runs out of the box, this is it.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The GPS action is one of the smoothest pump actions under $300—no grittiness or hang-ups right out of the box.
- Pro: At 6.8 lbs, it’s light enough to carry all day but heavy enough to soak up 12-gauge recoil.
- Pro: Interchangeable chokes add versatility that most budget pumps lack.
- Con: The 4+1 capacity is lower than some competitors (e.g., Mossberg 590 offers 6+1). If you need more rounds for competition or extended defense, you’ll want a tube extension or a different shotgun.

FAQ
Is the RETAY GPS compatible with aftermarket choke tubes?
Yes. It uses standard Beretta/Benelli Mobil-style choke tubes, so you can swap in aftermarket options like extended ported tubes or tighter constrictions for turkey hunting.
Does the pistol grip stock accept AR-style buffer tube adapters?
No. The stock is fixed and molded as a single unit. If you want to add an AR-style stock, you’d need to replace the entire stock assembly with an aftermarket adapter (not included).
Can I run 3-inch magnum shells in this shotgun?
Yes. The chamber is rated for 2¾” and 3″ shells. The GPS action cycles magnums reliably, though recoil is noticeably heavier—the cushioned buttpad helps.
What’s the barrel length on the GPS Tactical Pump?
The barrel is 18.5 inches, making it legal for most states without a tax stamp. It’s short enough for tight corners but long enough for decent slug accuracy at 50 yards.
