Remember when a hunter was measured by how well he shot, and not how much he spent?  When memories were measured in curly tails, not dollar bills?  The hunting and shooting sports should not be limited to those with large bank accounts and massive expanses of private hunting land.

Welcome to Spandau Arms. Spandau Arms was built on the belief that hunting is an American tradition that should be available to all and affordable for all. The challenge for Spandau and parent company SDS Imports was how to deliver on this belief without sacrificing quality. They accomplished this by combining American engineering and design, with international sourcing. Reaching out to all corners of the earth, Spandau Arms are sourced worldwide, and produced by craftsmen from one of the oldest firearms regions in the world. The result? Premium sporting arms that are equally comfortable at home in the duck marshes of Louisiana or on the podium of the Olympics. The Spandau line currently consists of two primary lines – the over/under shotgun, and the S2 semi-automatic – built around the Inertia operating system. From hand finished premier over under shotguns with hand crafted checkered stocks and engraved receivers, to the reliable and easy to operate Spandau S2 Semiauto, the entire Spandau line of firearms delivers superior performance that is sensibly priced.

For waterfowl enthusiasts, the Spandau S2 is reliable, easy to operate, and extremely balanced, which is everything a shotgun meant for long hunts needs to be. Built around the Inertia operating system for unmatched performance, ease of maintenance, it can cycle a variety of loads without changing parts or adjusting the operating system while maintaining a lightweight form factor. The vent rib style barrel features the Benelli/Mobil pattern choke tube system for consistent patterns that can be tuned to any shot type load and a fiber optic front sight for fast target acquisition. The controls are oversized for easy manipulation and the enhanced loading gate is shaped for easy one-handed multi-shell reloads. The 12 Gauge S2 features a 3” chamber and is available in 4 models. S2 12/24 Black – a 24” black finish, S2, 12/28 Black – the 28” version, a 24” model with Realtree APX camo finish – ideal for turkey hunting, and the 28” model with Realtree MAX-7 camo perfect for the avid waterfowler.

With an MSRP of $399.99 for Black and $499.99 for camo, the S2 line delivers on Spandau’s promise to provide superior performance that is sensibly priced.

Available in 12/20/28 and .410 gauge, the Premier Field features mechanical triggers, selectable firing order, a Benelli/Mobil choke tube system, and a Turkish Walnut stock and forearm. It is available in either 26” or 28” and includes a fiber optic front bead for quick target acquisition. The Premier Field has an MSRP of $1,349.99.
