The CZ 1012 is a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun within the CZ-USA Field Sports Series, renowned for its gasless inertia operating system that ensures maximum reliability. The design emphasizes user-friendliness, demonstrated by a rigorous test in which the shotgun fired 5,000 rounds without a single drop of oil or cleaning, and without any parts breaking or malfunctioning. This makes the CZ 1012 particularly low-maintenance and ideal for harsh conditions. The shotgun is available with stocks and forends made from Turkish walnut or durable synthetic materials, making it versatile for various environments, including those that are inhospitable. The second generation, the CZ 1012 G2, builds upon this foundation with an American hunting-focused feature set. It continues to utilize the innovative gasless inertia system, where a spring within the bolt harnesses energy from recoil to cycle the action, allowing the shotgun to eject spent shells efficiently. This system reduces the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance compared to gas-operated shotguns. The G2 is designed to handle a wide range of ammunition, from light target loads to powerful 3" magnums, making it a highly adaptable and reliable choice for hunters and shooting enthusiasts alike.
