Kansas City, KS – CZ has upgraded its 1012 inertia-operated shotgun with features that deliver ultimate reliability and performance. Sometimes the best wingshooting happens in foul weather, and hunters need a shotgun that’s unfailing shot after shot. Unlike gas-operated shotguns that require frequent cleanings, the 12 ga and 20 ga shotgun cycles the action using the shotgun’s recoil and is much less prone to fouling. The system runs longer between cleaning and is perfect for high-volume waterfowl hunters who can’t afford downtime. The best part is that 1012 G2 shotgun includes advanced features found in modern autoloaders at a fraction of the competition’s price.

Put a gun for someone like that into the hands of seventh grader, your wife or girlfriend and you may turn them off forever to the shotgun sports after they got kicked in the face and shoulder (not to mention the cussinʹ coming your way).

The rest is up to you. So, get ready to check your quail spots — or better yet, find a new one.
