because you simply press the trigger as the bead meets the target.
The trigger itself has a nicely-rounded face and an acceptable
amount of take-up for a field shotgun trigger. It fired after 7½
pounds of pressure.
Light inertia guns are easy to carry in the field, but the equaland-opposite
aspect of lighter weight is more felt recoil than gas
guns. The 1012’s recoil is manageable with light loads, and even
with 3-inch magnums, it isn’t abusive thanks in part to a soft
and dense recoil pad. The pad features a radiused heel which
prevents it from hanging on clothing when firing from a low gun
position on targets or in the field.
Some inertia guns won’t cycle light loads, but the CZ had no
problems with 1 1 ⁄8 ounce AA Winchester target shells. In fact,
there were no issues cycling any of the rounds tested. CZ claims
that they fired nearly 5,000 rounds without cleaning, and while
we didn’t reach that number, G&A’s staff enjoyed several hundred
rounds without cleaning the 1012. It never malfunctioned.
Disassembly of the 1012 is simple: With the gun unloaded
and the bolt retracted remove the knurled magazine cap, then
the barrel and forearm; pull the bolt handle free, slide the bolt
assembly forward and you’ve stripped the gun for basic field care.
A wipe down of the parts and a light coat of lubricating oil on the
interior parts keeps the gun running.
CZ’s 1012 is a remarkable value, and the design and ergonomics
are very good. Any shooter looking for a versatile field gun
that will also double as a clay crusher should take
a hard look at the 1012. If this initial inertiaoperated
offering is any indication CZ might
become a major player in this market.
