With civil unrest and uncertainty on the rise in 2020, defensive guns catapulted into public consciousness like never before. But despite all the different flavors out there, when it comes to pure home defense, the pump gun remains pretty tough to beat. Now the Retay Arms GPS Tactical provides an extremely affordable option.

Retay Arms GPS Tactical Details

The platform utilizes the company’s Geometric Pump System. Imported from Turkey, the shotgun features a new floating forend technology. It delivers an ultra-short cycling distance, according to Retay Arms. The system sounds well-suited to both duty and defensive work.

The GPS Tactical comes in 12 gauge with a 2 3/4-inch, 3-inch chamber. It sports an 18.5-inch ribless barrel. The barrel threads also accept Retay’s removable MaraParo choke system. It comes with three chokes: cylinder, modified and full.

At just 6 pounds, 1 ounce, the GPS Tactical remains light. The aluminum-framed shotgun incorporates an alloy double-pin triggers system. The one-piece receiver also includes an integrated dovetail. The shotgun comes in a matte black finish.

The Retay GPS includes several proven features demanded in a defensive shotgun. Better still, it retails for just $349.
