Iver Johnson PAS20 PG 24in 20 Gauge – Reliable Pistol Grip Field Pump

Description

The Iver Johnson PAS20 PG 24in 20 Gauge is a 20 gauge pump with a 24-inch barrel, black synthetic stock with a pistol grip and choke tubes. The shorter barrel and grip make it a handy gun for turkeys, blinds and general field use where a long barrel gets in the way.

Iver Johnson PAS20 PG 24in 20 Gauge Overview

Iver Johnson Arms imports its PAS20 pumps from Turkey. This version, item PAS20PG24, pairs a 24-inch barrel with a fixed synthetic stock that has a vertical pistol grip and recoil pad. Distributor data lists a 3-inch chamber, a fiber optic front sight with a mid bead, a grooved rail on the receiver and five choke tubes: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder and Cylinder. Iver Johnson does not publish a weight or length for this exact model, so we leave those out rather than guess.

Pistol Grip Field Stock

Unlike the compact PAS20 PG with a detachable stock, this gun is a conventional shoulder-fired shotgun whose stock has a pistol grip wrist. A vertical grip gives a firm hold when you sit against a tree with the gun on your knee, and keeps the wrist straight when you aim at a set target. Synthetic furniture does not mind rain or mud.

Barrel Length and Handling

At 24 inches the barrel is short enough to swing inside a ground blind or thick cover and long enough to give a reasonable sight plane. It is a good length for turkey hunting, deer drives where slugs are not required and general utility work around a property. For fast-crossing birds, a longer barrel would swing more smoothly.

Optics and Sights

The fiber optic front and mid bead work for most shotgun shooting. For gobblers, the receiver rail lets you add a small red dot so you can aim precisely with tight-patterning turkey loads. Fit the optic with low rings or a direct mount and check the zero on paper before your hunt.

Chokes and Loads

Use Full or a dedicated extended turkey choke with heavyweight shot for turkeys, and Improved Cylinder or Modified for upland birds. 20 gauge TSS and other premium turkey loads are costly but pattern densely. Confirm any aftermarket tube is rated for the shot type you plan to use.

Ownership Notes

Expect a short break-in while the action smooths. Keep the action lightly oiled, wipe the chrome-lined bore after wet days, and run the slide firmly; short-stroking any pump is the most common cause of a jam. Check the choke tube is snug before every outing. Accessory support is limited compared with big-name pumps, so buy spare chokes early if you plan to use one heavily.

State Laws and Ownership

Some states regulate pistol-grip shotguns or optics for hunting, and turkey rules on shot size and legal hours vary widely. Pennsylvania transfers include a PICS check, and hunters must carry the correct licence and tags.
