Description
The Spandau Premier Field O/U Shotgun 12 Gauge 26-inch is a traditional over/under built for serious field work and regular range use. It combines a Turkish walnut stock and forend with a stainless steel receiver and gloss blued barrels, delivering a clean, utilitarian look that performs straight out of the box. Chambered for 12-gauge shells with 3-inch chambers, this shotgun uses a mechanical trigger system with selectable firing order—no inertia tricks, just direct mechanical control that experienced shooters prefer.

Key Features
- 26-inch Gloss Blued Barrels — WHY IT MATTERS: The 26-inch length balances swing speed with shot string density, giving you a fast-handling gun that still patterns tight at 40 yards.
- Mechanical Trigger with Selectable Firing Order — WHY IT MATTERS: No reliance on recoil to reset the sear; you get a crisp, predictable break every time, and you can choose which barrel fires first for different shot loads or chokes.
- Stainless Steel Receiver — WHY IT MATTERS: Corrosion resistance means this receiver stands up to wet field conditions without rusting, and it adds a rugged contrast to the blued barrels.
- Turkish Walnut Stock and Forend — WHY IT MATTERS: Dense, oil-finished walnut provides a solid grip and absorbs recoil better than synthetic stocks, plus it looks right on a field gun.
Who It’s For
The Premier Field is for the shooter who wants a no-nonsense over/under for upland birds, waterfowl, clays, or range practice. If you value mechanical reliability over inertia systems and prefer classic wood furniture, this shotgun fits. It’s also a solid choice for hunters who need a gun that can take weather abuse without cosmetic fuss.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Mechanical trigger gives consistent ignition regardless of recoil.
- Pro: 3-inch chambers handle heavy magnum loads for geese or turkey.
- Pro: Stainless receiver resists rust in wet environments.
- Con: The gloss blued barrels show scratches and wear faster than a matte finish, so expect some character marks after heavy use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What chokes does the Spandau Premier Field come with?
It ships with five Beretta/Benelli-style Mobil choke tubes: Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder, Skeet, and Cylinder. That covers you for everything from close-cover grouse to long-range waterfowl.
Is this shotgun safe for steel shot?
Yes. The 3-inch chambers and chrome-lined barrels are rated for steel shot loads. Just use the appropriate steel-rated choke tubes (the included ones are not steel-rated; you’ll need aftermarket tubes for steel).
Can I adjust the trigger pull weight?
No, the mechanical trigger is fixed from the factory. Per Spandau specs, pull weight is set at approximately 5.5 to 6.5 pounds on both barrels. It’s crisp but not user-adjustable.
What is the length of pull on this shotgun?
Length of pull measures 14.5 inches from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttpad. That’s standard for a field gun and fits most average-sized shooters.
Does it have a tang safety?
Yes, it uses a manual tang-mounted safety/barrel selector. Slide it forward to fire, and the selector lets you choose top barrel first, bottom barrel first, or both.
