The modern defensive shooter wants a reliable, easy-to-maintain semi-automatic shotgun that balances field-proven mechanics with user-focused controls. Whether preparing for home defense, range training, or transitioning from clay and wing shooting to a more tactical role, a shotgun that blends inertia-driven reliability, ergonomic controls, and accessory-ready features stands out.

CZ 1012 G2 is the next evolution of CZ’s flagship semi-auto line, built around an inertia-driven bolt system found in higher-priced autoloaders. Chambered in 12 gauge (3″), with a 4+1 capacity and a 28″ gloss black barrel, the 1012 G2 packs features that matter to shooters who expect performance without unnecessary complexity.

Design and operating system

The inertia driven bolt system at the heart of the CZ 1012 G2 reduces moving parts under recoil compared to gas systems, simplifying cleaning and improving long-term reliability. The 3″ chambering accepts a wide range of defensive and target loads; 12 gauge offers proven terminal performance and broad ammunition availability, making it versatile for both training and protection.

Controls, fit, and customization

The 1012 G2 features oversized controls and a reversible cross-bolt safety that makes the platform truly ambidextrous for right- or left-hand shooters. The receiver is drilled and tapped and the gun ships with a Weaver-style rail in the box, so mounting optics is straightforward. It also accommodates Benelli-style magazine tube extensions and includes cast on/off and drop stock shims to tailor length of pull and fit.

Chokes, sights, and case

Five CZ Active extended chokes (F, IM, M, IC, C) come standard, giving immediate patterning flexibility without aftermarket purchases. A bead front sight aids quick target acquisition. The package arrives packed in a premium lockable hard gun case for secure transport and storage. Price sits at $663.99, delivering notable value for the features list—view product details and pricing on the shop page.
