February 2020 G&A 75
The triangular
safety button is
at the front of the
triggerguard rather
than the usual
location at the rear.
The bottom edge
of the shell droplever
is canted 90
degrees to make it
easier to find and
is protected by the
guard.
The CZ 1012’s bolt
is charged by a
large release. The
release button
is pressed down
and forward to
operate, which is
a more intuitive
action than what is
required with the
more traditional
round button.
The hourglassshaped
operating
handle is easy to
grab from any
angle, and is easy
to remove during
disassembly than
the usual C- shaped
handle. This is
a style that has
migrated from
tactical and competition
semiauto
shotguns.
