Even better news: As far as hunting goes, wingshooting is one of the more affordable options on the table.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, you can pay a mint and take the Cadillac route to knock pintails out of the sky. But you needn\u2019t. Over the past couple of decades, the price of decent shotguns has dropped to where they\u2019re only slightly more than a good pair of boots or waders. Buyer beware: There are lemons in this class of gun. But with a little research, there are also gems.<\/p>\n<p>This leads me to the Spandau S2.<\/p>\n<p>With a predilection for downing Canada honkers, I was immediately interested in the semi-auto the moment I laid eyes on it at the 2025 SHOT Show. A semi-auto for less than many pumps? Has the floor fallen out of the market? Or, was this potentially a pretty face \u2026 without much to back it up?<\/p>\n<p>Well north of 500 shells and a mountain of broken blue rock later, I\u2019m pleased to say the budget blaster left a lasting impression.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spandau-s2-specs\"><strong>Spandau S2 Specs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Gauge:<\/strong> 12-gauge<br \/><strong>Chamber:<\/strong> 3 inches<br \/><strong>Barrel Length: <\/strong>28 inches<br \/><strong>Stock:<\/strong> Polymer<br \/><strong>Frame\/Receiver Finish:<\/strong> Hydro-dip Realtree APX (also available in Realtree MAX-7, Mossy Oak Obsession, Mossy Oak Bottomland, Realtree MAX-7); Black<br \/><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 3+1<br \/><strong>Sights:<\/strong> Fiber-optic front ; drilled and tapped receiver<br \/><strong>Overall Weight:<\/strong> 6 pounds, 11 ounces<br \/><strong>Choke Tube: <\/strong>Benelli\/Mobil (cylinder, modified, ext. ported modified, full)<br \/><strong>MSRP: <\/strong>$557<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Very affordable inertia-driven semi-auto<\/li>\n<li>Impressively reliable<\/li>\n<li>Improved loading gate<\/li>\n<li>Lightweight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons\"><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Basic polymer stock<br \/>More recoil than a gas gun<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inertia-impetus\"><strong>Inertia Impetus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The S2 is the first semi-auto from the newish brand Spandau Arms\u2014imported by SDS Arms out of Knoxville, Tennessee. Mainly focusing on budget- to mid-tier over\/unders before the S2, the Turkish-made guns have developed a solid reputation for affordable quality.<\/p>\n<p>With an MSRP of $400 to $557 depending on the model, the 3-inch chambered 12-gauge semi has the honor of being the most affordable shotgun in the brand\u2019s catalog. The asking price\u2014likely $100 or so less at your local outdoor retail warehouse\u2014also gives it the distinction of being among the most affordable shotguns, period.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Spandau s2\" class=\"wp-image-299238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-s2-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Overall, the Spandau S2 APX is a solid package for the price point, offering up a 3-inch chambered 12-gauge with a reliable inertia operation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The S2\u2014like much of the recent hunting-focused semi-auto market\u2014is inertia driven. I, like many hunters, prefer chasing game\u2014not cleaning guns or mollycoddling their idiosyncrasies. Since the system isn\u2019t as finicky as gas-driven semis\u2014and has earned a reputation for running in any condition with any load\u2014inertia actions have become a hunting-season favorite. Early muggy-season doves to late snowbound Canada geese, low brass to high, these guns just chug along.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-full-control\"><strong>In Full Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bird guns are a mature concept. In turn, improving the design is a marginal process. Yet for what qualifies as a budget shotgun, Spandau paid attention to the S2\u2019s minutiae to produce a gun punching well above its monetary weight.<\/p>\n<p>Given the gun seems tilted to waterfowlers and turkey hunters, the attention to the controls is especially appreciated. Everything here is enlarged and easy to find, from the large triangular cross-bolt safety to the prominent bolt release at the front of the receiver. The latter is also in line with the fore, making it quick to get the offhand in shooting position.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Spandau S2 red follower\" class=\"wp-image-299240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Spandau S2 red follower\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-299240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-red-follower.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A metallic red follower lets you confirm if the magazine is empty without any doubts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Spandau even tweaks the loading gate, enlarging the port and shortening the lifter. This was one of my favorite aspects of the gun. It loads fast, instinctively and sans a thumb bite.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the oversized, knurled charging handle is a nice touch. Cylindrical and easy to find, I was able to run the S2 as quickly as a tactical gun, charging over or under the receiver at an elevated pace.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stock-stock\"><strong>Stock Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m a sucker for walnut on a shotgun, but the S2\u2019s stock is the norm for today\u2019s rough-and-tumble field guns. In short, it\u2019s polymer. While the hollow knock of injection-molded plastic doesn\u2019t exactly set my heart soaring, it\u2019s well-formed, adjustable and adds to the gun\u2019s light construction.<\/p>\n<p>Spandau uses a shim system in the buttstock to allow the shooter to adjust the drop and cant with the shims, if so desired. I didn\u2019t, but the option is there for you.<\/p>\n<p>The forend is reminiscent of a certain Italian manufacturer\u2019s semi-auto smoothbores, with a full belly tapering to slightly more than the barrel\u2019s width up top. I like this design. It forms to the off-hand better and\u2014to my mind\u2014gives more control on a swing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Spandau S2 charging handle\" class=\"wp-image-299242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Spandau S2 charging handle\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-299242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle.jpg 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>As for the fore and grip texture, it\u2019s not aggressive, which worried me. I like checkering with some bite\u2014even if it\u2019s uncomfortable by day\u2019s end\u2014because the pain is worth a guaranteed purchase. Thankfully, the gun didn\u2019t have to sink its teeth into me, as the texture proved adequate, even with moisture on the stock.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-sight\"><strong>In Sight<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Like many, I was raised on a brass bead on shotguns, and it feels like coming home with one on the rib. But as age and presbyopia have caught up with me, the S2\u2019s fiber-optic front bead\u2014backed up with a brass mid-rib bead\u2014was a godsend. Bright in daylight and bright enough in flat light, it was simple to find quickly upon shouldering the gun.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-accoutrements\"><strong>Accoutrements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As light on the pocketbook as the S2 is, Spandau added a couple of extras generally not expected at this price point.<\/p>\n<p>The stock and magazine nut have sling attachment points. The shell follower is a vivid red, evident when the magazine is cleared. The receiver is drilled and tapped, making the addition of optics mounts a simple matter of tightening screws. And Spandau offers the Realtree camo patterns MAX-7 Camo or APX, in addition to its base-model black. For the record, mine was in APX.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the package is a set of removable chokes, four in all \u2026 including a ported modified. Given some of its other Italian design features, it\u2019s no surprise the S2 is compatible with Benelli chokes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Spandau S2 charging handle 2\" class=\"wp-image-299241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Spandau S2 charging handle 2\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-299241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spandau-S2-charging-handle-2.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A large cylindrical charging handle to get the scatter is just the ticket in the field, getting the gun into action without any second thoughts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-let-the-clay-pigeons-fly\"><strong>Let the Clay Pigeons Fly<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After several range sessions with the S2, I came away impressed. What Spandau offers here would cost a small fortune in tonier neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the box, the gun fit me excellently\u2014I could close my eyes, bring the gun to my shoulder and the bead was right in line. It functioned flawlessly from the get-go, and it was a blast to shoot. My general take after dusting many clays: It\u2019s an out-and-out shooter, and a pleasant one at that.<\/p>\n<p>What surprised me most shouldering the S2 was how light the gun was, even for the typically wispy inertia class. From the specs, the gun weighs 6.7 pounds\u2014and I won\u2019t dispute it. Its slight mass makes it thump a bit more\u2014certainly more recoil than a gas gun\u2014but not enough to make me hesitant.<\/p>\n<p>The S2\u2019s balance is slightly rear-biased\u2014a trait that\u2019s likely common among inertia-driven semi-autos, though I\u2019ve never studied it formally. Despite that, the gun didn\u2019t feel whippy and was easily controlled. In fact, I\u2019d argue it made the S2 feel a bit nimbler when swinging on doubles.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-parting-shot\"><strong>Parting Shot<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Looking to flex on your gear-snob buddies at the duck shack? The Spandau S2 isn\u2019t for you. Looking to run a gun hard and put birds in the bag without draining your bank account? This gun is worth a look.<\/p>\n<p>For under $557, you get a semi-auto that digests a wide range of loads, shrugs off rough weather and runs clean. It\u2019s light on the shoulder, fast on the follow-up and\u2014most importantly\u2014reliable out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a no-nonsense field gun built for work, not wall-hanging. In short, it\u2019s a budget wing shooter engineered to get anyone into the field.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spandau-s2-deals\"><mark style=\"background-color:#fcb900\"
