The first thing a hunting shotgun needs to do is go bang every time you pull the trigger. The new CZ-USA 1012 is a semi auto that’ll shoot like a house on fire with whatever you stick in it, including light 2 ¾-inch and heavy 3-inch magnums. The 1012 is not a gas-powered shotgun that can be finicky when it gets dirty; this shotgun uses recoil energy to eject the spent shell and load the next one. I’m thinking this is a shotgun you can toss in the duck boat and it’ll stand up to all the water, mud, ice, and dog slobber a bad hunt can throw at it. A shotgun using inertia/recoil to work the action is nothing new, but one with a suggested price of $659.00 is. (Larry Case)
