The Retay Gordion is an Affordable Inertia Driven Shotgun

Well-built inertia-driven hunting shotguns are not cheap, and cheap ones are seldom good. There are, however, exceptions to every rule. Few Americans are familiar with the Retay brand, but that is quickly changing. Are they a passing fad, or is this name changing the game and here to stay? Guns.com checks out the Retay Gordion shotgun.
Just when we thought all Turkish-made shotguns fell into the cookie-cutter budget category, Retay Arms swoops in with inertia-driven semi-autos for hunters and do-it-all shooters seeking higher dollar features at more reasonable than average prices. Retay Arms has been flying under the radar for a few years, but they’re a secret no longer. The Konya, Turkey, rooted company has its USA headquarters in Easton, Maryland, and puts out two major shotgun lines, the Masai Mara and the Gordion.
Innovative features set them apart from the competition in a crowded hunting shotgun market. The Masai Mara offers a sweet, quick release trigger group, which comes free without tools and allows for both safe storage and quick clearing of debris in the duck flats.
Both the Masai Mara and the Gordion use an “easy unload” system that allows the magazine tube to be cleared in seconds without racking live rounds through the action. In another sweet turn of engineering, Retay’s Inertia Plus floating bolt system is intended to eliminate the misfires that have plagued other such inertia systems from major manufacturers.

Excellent review as always. I use several Turkish guns now. Frankly there is nothing to fault them.

Great video very in depth. Thank you!

Because of you and your review, I bought a CZ 1012 which is a wonderful shotgun. Runs EVERYTHING. This Retay also looks nice.

Stoeger m3000 I think is the best bargage inertia shotgun. I love it!!!!

[@kiamthekiam4963]

Excellent review. I’ve seen you before, you got a knack for this. Top reviewer in my opinion.

[@theirishbear_osrs]

Excellent as always!

Very good review, I own a couple Retay Gordion shotguns (12ga and 20ga) and I have had zero issues with mine but I only have a couple hundred rounds through mine so far

[@keithkennedy6702]

Which gauge would you recommend?

[@clockworkbike]

I have a 12g Gordion and, out of the box it runs light target loads with no cycling problems. I've been shooting clays and have about 125 down the tube so far not a single problem with cycling. Maybe I got lucky but I'm delighted with my Gordion.

[@tercelfish00]

Helpful review thank you

[@jeffreylocke8808]

You can use a Limb saver recoil pad on that Retay Arms shotgun.

[@ramshoggs1256]

I was ready to purchase one until I found out you cant put an extension tube on it. I will stick to what I have until retay comes out with a more versatile shotgun

[@9mmpeter255]

This lady rocks

[@TommyboyGTP]

What was the gun cleaned and lubed with when it was going through the break-in time? I use Slip 2000 and so far so good it's been working great with everything i've used it on.

[@charles9571]

I see they have a headquarters in Maryland, so does that mean these shotguns are made in the USA?

[@saltcreekammo]

Only gas guns for me. My dad pulled up on his Tom with his Browning A5 and it went CLICK... He rode the bolt home quietly to not spook birds, but it ended up ruining his hunt.

[@عبدعبد-ظ9ف9ب]

Beauteful bat How many shotng the gan have

[@volodymyr9400]

Does anybody know how to take apart this gun completely?

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Girdion by Retay is an affordable option.

[@jimmorwood9715]
