The Retay Gordion Slug 12 Gauge 24 inch Vent Rib 4+1 is a semi-automatic slug gun built to deliver consistent accuracy with single-projectile loads. It uses Retay’s Inertia-Plus system to cycle reliably across a range of slug types, from light target loads to heavy hunting rounds. The 24-inch vent-rib rifled barrel, fixed pistol-grip synthetic stock, and integrated cantilever rail make this a purpose-driven tool for slug shooters who demand repeatable performance without the bulk of a dedicated rifle.

Key Features
Inertia-Plus System – Why it matters: The gas-free action reduces fouling and maintenance while cycling reliably with slugs from 1-ounce to 1.5-ounce loads, so you spend less time cleaning and more time shooting.
24-Inch Vent-Rib Rifled Barrel – Why it matters: The rifled bore stabilizes sabot slugs for tighter groups at 100 yards, and the vent rib provides a consistent sight plane for rapid target acquisition.
Integrated Cantilever Rail – Why it matters: The rail mounts directly to the barrel, keeping your optic zero independent of the receiver, so slug accuracy stays consistent even after disassembly.
Fixed Pistol-Grip Synthetic Stock – Why it matters: The ergonomic grip reduces felt recoil and keeps your hand in a natural firing position, helping you stay on target for follow-up shots.
4+1 Magazine Capacity – Why it matters: Four rounds in the tube plus one in the chamber gives you five quick shots for hunting or competition without adding bulk to the shotgun.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for hunters who need a dedicated slug gun for deer or bear in slug-only zones, and for shooters who want a reliable semi-auto for 3-gun or tactical slug matches. It also suits anyone who prefers the simplicity and low maintenance of an inertia-driven action over gas-operated systems.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Reliable cycling with a wide range of slug loads, low-maintenance inertia system, accurate rifled barrel, adjustable sights included, lightweight at 7.2 lbs.
Cons: The fixed stock limits length-of-pull adjustment for shooters with shorter or longer arms, and the 24-inch barrel may feel muzzle-heavy for some users in tight brush.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Retay Gordion Slug shoot both sabot and foster slugs?
Yes. The rifled barrel is optimized for sabot slugs for best accuracy, but it will also fire foster-style slugs. Expect tighter groups with sabots, especially past 75 yards.
Does this shotgun come with a choke tube?
No. The barrel is rifled and does not accept choke tubes. It is designed exclusively for slugs.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
No, the stock is a fixed synthetic pistol-grip design. Length of pull is approximately 14 inches per manufacturer specs, which suits most average-sized shooters. Aftermarket spacers are not available from Retay.
What is the warranty on the Retay Gordion Slug?
Retay backs the Gordion with a limited lifetime warranty for the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover wear items like springs or extractors.
Will the Gordion Slug cycle light target loads reliably?
Yes, the Inertia-Plus system is designed to cycle 1-ounce target loads and heavier hunting slugs. Some very light 7/8-ounce loads may not generate enough recoil to fully cycle the action, but standard 1-ounce loads work fine.
