Description
There's a lot to like about a 20 gauge autoloader that shows up ready to work, and the Pointer FT21 from Legacy Sports International does exactly that. The Field Tek 21 pairs a black aluminum receiver with a durable synthetic stock, so you get a gun that shrugs off rain, mud, and briar patches without you babying it. The 3 inch chamber handles everything from light target loads to heavier hunting shells, and the 5+1 capacity keeps you in the action longer than your typical field gun.
Why the FT21 Makes Sense for the Field
The 28 inch barrel gives you a smooth swing on crossing birds, and the raised vent rib with a fiber optic front sight helps your eye pick up the bead fast in low light, which is exactly when the good shooting usually happens. A rotating bolt keeps lockup solid, and the crossbolt safety sits right where your trigger finger expects it. At 48 inches overall, it balances nicely between the hands without feeling whippy, and the rubber butt pad takes the edge off longer days at the range or in the dove field.
One Pointer FT21, Five Chokes, Plenty of Options
Instead of locking you into one pattern, the FT21 ships with a five-piece multi-choke set covering Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That means the same gun can pattern tight for late-season pheasant, open up for quail over dogs, or split the difference for clays on a Saturday morning. Swap tubes in a minute and you're set.
A 20 Gauge Semi-Auto That Earns Its Keep
The 20 gauge has always been the thinking hunter's pick, and it's easy to see why. Lighter recoil, quicker handling, and plenty of punch for upland birds, rabbits, and clay games. The FT21 brings all of that in a semi-auto that softens felt recoil even further, which makes it a smart choice for newer wingshooters, smaller-framed hunters, or anyone who just prefers a gun that's pleasant to shoot all day. Pointer builds these in Turkey with the kind of fit and function that has made Turkish shotguns a staple in duck blinds and dove fields across the country.

Frequently Asked Questions
What choke tubes come with the Pointer FT21?
The FT21 ships with a five-piece multi-choke set: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That covers everything from close-range clays and quail to tighter patterns for late-season upland birds. It's one of the better choke packages you'll find on a shotgun in this class.
Can the FT21 handle 3 inch shells?
Yes, the FT21 has a 3 inch chamber, so it runs both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch 20 gauge shells. That gives you flexibility to shoot light target loads at the range and step up to heavier hunting loads when the season opens. As with most semi-autos, very light loads may cycle less reliably until the gun is broken in.
Who makes the Pointer FT21 and where is it made?
Pointer shotguns are manufactured in Turkey and imported by Legacy Sports International, the same company behind the Howa rifle line. Turkish shotguns have built a solid reputation for delivering dependable function and good fit at a working hunter's price point, and the Field Tek series is a good example of that.
Is the FT21 in 20 gauge a good choice for a newer shotgun owner?
It's a strong pick. The 20 gauge produces noticeably less recoil than a 12, and the semi-auto action soaks up even more of the kick, so it's comfortable to shoot for extended sessions. Add the fiber optic front sight and the included choke set, and it's an easy gun to learn on and grow with.
