Retay USA Gordion 20 Gauge 28" Semi-Automatic Shotgun - Black

The Retay USA Gordion is a 20-gauge semi-automatic shotgun built for hunters who want reliable, soft-shooting performance in a lighter-recoiling platform. At 28 inches with a 6 lb 8 oz profile, this inertia-piston gun handles nimble enough for upland work or waterfowl without the punishing recoil of a 12-gauge—perfect for younger hunters, smaller-framed shooters, or anyone looking to shoot longer without fatigue. The Gordion combines proven inertia-plus rotating bolt mechanics with a clean, modern hunting profile that won't break the bank.

Built around a single-piece aluminum receiver with matte black anodized finish, the Gordion uses a drilled and chrome-lined Bohler steel barrel optimized with Retay's MaraBarrel lengthened forcing cone. That design is meant to smooth pellet flow and reduce felt recoil—a genuine advantage in a 20-gauge autoloader. The gun comes ready to pattern: it ships with interchangeable MaraPro choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F) so you can dial in your load for everything from close-range birds to 40-yard passes. A red fiber-optic bead helps you find your sight picture in low light, and the flat 8mm hunting-style rib keeps things simple without unnecessary bulk.

The Gordion's ergonomics prioritize comfort and control. An adjustable shim set lets you fine-tune drop at heel and drop at comb to your natural gun-mounting style—critical for consistent shooting. The sculpted Microcell polyurethane recoil pad absorbs impact without slipping off your shoulder. A cross-bolt push-button safety sits where your thumb expects it, and the automatic anti-repeat trigger system prevents doubling. The stock is molded black ABS with integrated sling swivel mounts, and you get a sling swivel adapter plus a 4+1 magazine capacity (with limiter included for states that require it).

Whether you're loading 2¾-inch or 3-inch shells, the Gordion cycles reliably and handles minimum loads of 3 Dram 1-1/8 oz for reduced recoil practice or small-game work. It's a no-frills, dependable 20-gauge that rewards good shooting and won't make you dread the next box of shells.

Can I shoot both 2¾" and 3" shells?

How is the stock adjustable, and why does that matter?

The Gordion comes with an adjustable shim set that lets you fine-tune drop at heel and drop at comb. This means you can customize the gun's fit to your shoulders and shooting style, improving consistency and comfort—especially important over a long hunting day.

Is this a good shotgun for someone newer to shooting?

The 20-gauge platform produces significantly less recoil than a 12-gauge, making it easier to shoot accurately and stay comfortable. At 6 lb 8 oz with a lengthened forcing cone designed to reduce felt recoil, the Gordion is a solid choice for younger hunters or anyone building confidence with a semi-automatic shotgun.
