Description
There is something about a side-by-side that an over/under just can't replicate, and the Pointer FT6 in 20 gauge captures that old hardware store double gun feel with the benefit of modern manufacturing. Built for Legacy Sports, the FT6 pairs a checkered Turkish walnut stock and forend with glossy black 28 inch barrels and a black receiver. The look is clean and traditional, the kind of gun that feels right riding in the truck on opening day of pheasant season.
What the FT6 Brings to the Field
The 3 inch chambers give you flexibility to run everything from light target loads to heavier field ammunition, and the included five-piece choke set lets you tighten or open your pattern depending on whether you're working close-flushing quail or longer crossing shots on doves. A single crisp trigger with a barrel selector keeps things simple, extractors lift your hulls for easy removal, and the ambidextrous safety works for left and right handed hunters. At around 6.9 pounds with a 44 inch overall length, it carries comfortably through a full day of walking fields and fence rows.
Why a 20 Gauge Side-by-Side Makes Sense
The 20 gauge is the sweet spot for a double like this. Recoil stays manageable, the gun swings lively between the hands, and modern 20 gauge loads give up very little to a 12 on upland birds and clays. Break actions are also about as simple and dependable as shotguns get, with fewer moving parts to fuss over and a design that's easy to clean at the tailgate.
A Classic Double Without the Collector Price
Double guns used to be common in every farmhouse, and the FT6 taps into that heritage at a price that means you can hunt it hard instead of babying it. Whether it's your first side-by-side or a lighter companion to a 12 gauge you already own, this Pointer earns its keep in the field and at the clays range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes the Pointer FT6 and where is it made?
Pointer shotguns are imported by Legacy Sports International, the same company behind Howa rifles and Citadel firearms. The FT6 is manufactured in Turkey, a country with a long track record of producing quality break-action shotguns at working-gun prices.
What chokes come with the FT6 20 gauge?
The FT6 ships with a five-piece choke tube set covering the standard constrictions from open to tight. That range lets you set up the gun for close work over dogs, longer passing shots, or clay games without buying anything extra.
Does the Pointer FT6 have one trigger or two?
It uses a single trigger with a barrel selector, so you can choose which barrel fires first without juggling two triggers. Combined with the ambidextrous safety, it keeps the controls simple and familiar for anyone coming from a pump or semi-auto.
Is the FT6 a good choice for upland hunting?
It's right at home in the uplands. At roughly 6.9 pounds with 28 inch barrels, it carries well over long days and swings smoothly on flushing birds. The 3 inch chambers and interchangeable chokes also give you enough versatility to stretch it into dove fields and casual clays.
