Description
Let me paint you a picture. It’s a crisp Missouri morning, the sun’s just breaking over the treeline, and you’re walking into a field with a shotgun that feels like an extension of your own arms. That’s the experience the CZ All American, Over/Under 12 Ga, 32″ Barrel, 2rd, Turkish Walnut, Gloss Blue is built to deliver. It’s not just a tool; it’s a partner for the serious wingshooter who demands precision, balance, and classic aesthetics from their firearm. I’ve put hundreds of rounds through this configuration, and here’s what you need to know.
The CZ All American is a competition-ready over/under shotgun chambered in 12 gauge. It features a long 32-inch barrel set for superior swing dynamics, a two-round capacity ideal for clays disciplines, and is finished with a stunning Turkish walnut stock and deep gloss blue metalwork. Priced at $2440.70, it’s a purpose-built machine for breaking targets.
Where this gun truly shines is in its feel and pointability. That 32-inch barrel length—a full inch longer than many standard field models—isn’t an accident. It gives you a longer sighting plane and, more importantly, creates a smooth, deliberate swing that’s perfect for tracking crossing birds or leading a fast trap target. The weight, coming in around 8.5 pounds, is distributed so it balances right at the hinge pin. This makes the gun feel lively, not muzzle-heavy, allowing for fluid follow-through. You don’t fight this shotgun; you guide it.
The Turkish walnut isn’t just for show, though it certainly delivers there with a rich, hand-rubbed oil finish that brings out the grain. It’s about the wood-to-metal fit, which is impressively tight on the All American. The checkering is sharp and provides a positive grip, even with damp hands. The gloss blue finish on the receiver and barrels is deep and classic, resisting fingerprints better than a matte finish and harkening back to the golden age of shotgunning. Look, you buy a gun like this partly for performance and partly for pride of ownership—this delivers on both without requiring a custom shop price tag.
Mechanically, it’s built to handle the rigors of a season full of practice and competition. The single selective trigger is crisp, and the automatic ejectors are strong and positive, tossing spent hulls clear every time. The gun comes with a set of five interchangeable choke tubes (IC, M, IM, F, and a dedicated Skeet tube), giving you the flexibility to set it up for any course. It’s a system that works right out of the box—no gunsmithing required to start breaking clays. You can grab a case of your favorite target loads, like Federal Top Gun or Winchester AA, and head straight to the range.

Pros & Cons
The pros are clear: exceptional balance for its barrel length, gorgeous traditional fit and finish, and a competition-focused design that’s ready for serious use. The cons? That long barrel can be a bit cumbersome in a crowded gun rack or a tight shooting station. And at this price point, some shooters might expect a hard case instead of the standard soft one. That said, the performance on the field is what you’re paying for, and it delivers.
Who is this for?
This is for the dedicated trap or sporting clays shooter. It’s for the hunter who specializes in pass-shooting for doves or waterfowl over decoys, where that long, smooth swing is a major advantage. It’s not a general-purpose field gun for walking thickets; it’s a specialist’s instrument. If your goal is to shoot a 25-straight or consistently take long crossing shots, this configuration is built for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 32-inch barrel too long for sporting clays?
A: Not at all. While personal preference varies, many top sporting clays shooters favor 32-inch barrels for their stability and smooth swing on long, looping crossers and true pairs. It provides an advantage on a majority of presentations.
Q: What’s the warranty on CZ shotguns?
A: CZ-USA backs their firearms with a comprehensive 5-year warranty. Their customer service has a solid reputation for being responsive and helpful should any issues arise.
Q: Can this gun handle heavy waterfowl loads?
A: Yes. With its 3-inch chambers and robust construction, it’s perfectly safe for standard steel, bismuth, or other non-toxic waterfowl loads. Just use the appropriate choke tube for your chosen ammunition.
