Gforce Arms GFLVR357P Saddlehorn 357 Mag 5+1 12" Black Threaded Barrel & Receiver, Turkish Walnut Stock & Forend, Thread Protector
The Gforce Arms Saddlehorn is a lever-action pistol chambered in 357 Magnum—a compact, handy option for hunters and shooters who want rifle-caliber power in a short-barreled package. Built on an aluminum alloy receiver with a 4140 steel barrel, this 357 Mag pistol delivers the speed and handling of a traditional mare's leg or tactical short gun, with the proven ballistics of one of shooting's most versatile cartridges. At just 4.5 pounds and 25.5 inches overall, it's light enough for all-day carry and quick enough for reactive shooting at moderate distances.
The 12-inch threaded barrel (1/2-28) ships with a thread protector and opens the door to suppressor or brake mounting if you want to tame recoil or noise. The Turkish walnut furniture—both stock and forend—gives this gun a classic, purposeful look that stands out from modern polymers. A large loop lever keeps your gloved hand comfortable in cold weather, while the leather loop wrap adds grip security and a touch of character. Iron sights come standard, so you're ready to shoot out of the box.
Mechanically, you get a 3-position hammer and manual safety for controlled, deliberate firing. The 5+1 capacity (five in the magazine, one chambered) balances capacity with the compact footprint. Trigger pull is a crisp 5 pounds—solid and predictable. Whether you're after a truck gun, backcountry camp companion, or a spirited range toy, this lever-action pistol commands respect for its practical design and no-nonsense approach to a niche segment of the market.
