Spandau S2 Field 12 Gauge 24in Black Synthetic 3in – Dependable Inertia Shotgun

Description

The Spandau S2 Field 12 Gauge 24in Black (model 21000185) is the plain black synthetic version of Spandau’s inertia-driven semi-auto. It has a 24 inch vent rib barrel, a 3 inch chamber, 3+1 capacity and Benelli Mobil pattern chokes. It uses an earlier SDS Imports UPC (723551446744) and is made in Turkey by Spandau Arms.

Spandau S2 Field 12 Gauge 24in Black Overview

Retailer listings show this S2 Field at 6 pounds 14 ounces with three Mobil pattern choke tubes included, a fiber optic front sight, oversized controls and a widened loading gate. The black synthetic stock and matte metal are the easiest S2 finish to live with: no camo to scuff and nothing to fade. SDS says many Benelli M2 accessories fit, which helps if you want a different stock or an extended bolt handle later.

A General-Purpose 12 Gauge

The black 24 inch S2 Field is a sensible first semi-auto. It works for clays, small game, upland birds and turkey with the right choke. If you hunt from a blind and need concealment, a camo model or a wrap is a better choice, but for walking hunts black is fine.

Home and Farm Use

Some buyers want one shotgun for the farm and the field. A 24 inch vent rib gun with 3+1 capacity can do that, but it is not a dedicated defensive shotgun: the barrel is long indoors and capacity is limited. If home defense is the main job, look at a short-barrel tactical model instead.

Inertia Operation

The S2 Field runs on inertia instead of a gas piston, so the receiver stays clean and there are fewer parts to maintain. The catch is that it needs full-power loads and a firm shoulder. Cheap light target loads may not cycle reliably, so test a box before buying a case.

Clays and Practice

A 24 inch barrel is short for sporting clays, but it works for casual trap and skeet. Felt recoil is noticeable in a 7 pound inertia gun over a long day; 1 ounce loads help if they cycle in your gun. The included shims let you adjust drop and cast for a better fit.

Support and Value

Spandau is a newer importer brand, so resale and gunsmith familiarity lag behind Benelli. Keep the box, shims and manual, and buy an extra choke or two for the jobs you plan.

State Laws and Ownership

Semi-automatic shotguns are legal in most states. Federal migratory bird rules require a plug limiting the gun to three shells for ducks, geese and doves, and many states set their own capacity, shot-type and hunting-hours rules. Check your state regulations, and ask your receiving FFL to confirm the transfer before ordering.
