Made in Turkey, Smith & Wesson’s 1000-series semi-autos vary in gauge and features. The 1012 is chambered for 3 1/2-inch 12-gauge magnums, and the 1020 for 3-inch 20-gauge ammo. Barrels are 26, 28 and 30 inches. All barrels are chrome-lined and come standard with five choke tubes. Shim kits are included to fit the stock’s drop and cast to the shooter.


Lady hunters and youths will appreciate the 1020 Youth model, with a 24-inch barrel and a 12-inch length of pull stock.

    Don't waste your money on this shotgun. Junk. After only 1 and half duck seasons and cleaning after use it became completely unreliable. Failure to feed, Failure to eject, and failure to fire. EVERY time I pull to the trigger one of those scenarios happens. I took it back to Gander Mountain where I bought it and they "Fixed" it. yeah right.
