CHARLES DALY 500 SXS FIELD 20/26 MATTE 3″

Side-by-side shotguns deliver classic handling and reliable performance for hunters and sport shooters across the South Bay and beyond. The Charles Daly 500 offers straightforward mechanics and proven durability. Before purchasing any firearm in California, familiarize yourself with current California firearm laws and ensure compliance with your local jurisdiction, including requirements in Pittsburg and surrounding areas.

Break-Action Design and Manual Safety

This shotgun uses a break-open action common to traditional side-by-side designs, allowing quick barrel access and straightforward maintenance. The manual safety provides direct shooter control. With a 20 gauge bore and 3-inch chambers, it handles standard and magnum loads within those specifications. The fixed bead sight supports basic target acquisition for field use. Understanding firearm mechanics and state regulations—like those affecting certain pistol types outlined in PC §32100 exempt revolvers—helps shooters make informed equipment choices.
