The compact over/under shotgun market needs models that balance approachable ergonomics with full-size capability. For instructors, parents, and new shooters who want a reliable, easy-to-handle platform, the right youth-sized shotgun removes many early barriers to learning safe marksmanship and fieldcraft.

STOEGER CONDOR YOUTH .410 is purpose-built as a perfect fit for small-statured beginners and adults. The Condor Field compact model retains the standard features of a full-size Condor while offering a shortened 22-inch barrel and a 13-inch length-of-pull that reduces reach and improves handling for smaller frames.

Fit and handling

The 13-inch length-of-pull is the headline feature for youth and smaller adults. A reduced LOP shortens the reach to the trigger and allows tighter mounting at the shoulder, which improves sight picture and recoil control for shooters transitioning from smaller-caliber rifles or pistols. Paired with the 22-inch barrel, the Condor Youth delivers a compact balance point that makes presentation faster in teaching scenarios and close-range upland work.

Field-ready features

Although the Condor Youth is scaled down, it keeps the core attributes shooters expect from the Condor line: a traditional over/under action, straightforward break-open loading, and the handling characteristics of a full-size field gun. The 22-inch barrel offers a compromise between swing speed and pattern density, ideal for clay sports at shorter distances and small-game work. The listing notes the shotgun is Never Fired and comes with the Original Box Included, giving buyers confidence in condition and completeness.
