The GForce Arms GF1 in this configuration is set up for home defense and truck duty rather than the duck blind, with an 18.5-inch barrel that keeps the shotgun short enough to move through doorways while staying comfortably above the federal minimum length. It holds four shells in the tube plus one in the chamber and wears a black synthetic stock, giving it a purposeful look that fits the role. Twelve-gauge buckshot remains one of the most decisive defensive loads available, which is why this compact format has become the standard for a bedside shotgun. With the right loads it also works fine for informal clays, small game and pest control around the property.
