1. FOREWORD
We are pleased that you have chosen an FNH USA P-12 pump-action
shotgun. Based on sound firearm design, the P-12 stands for the highest
level of reliability, consistent accuracy, functional design and provides the
operating precision and safety expected from an FNH USA firearm.
The P-12 is an inertially-assisted pump-action design that allows you to
fire rapid follow-up shots by moving the forearm rearward then forward to
cycle the action, load a shell and then fire it by squeezing the trigger. When
you fire a shell, cycling the action as described above moves a loaded shell
from the magazine to the chamber where it can be fired with a pull of the
trigger. This process can be repeated until the magazine is empty. A single
shell can also be inserted into the chamber manually or moved from the
loaded magazine by cycling the action with the forearm. In order to keep
this P-12 shotgun in top condition and operating at its peak performance,
read,understandandfollowalloftheinstructionsinthisowner’smanual.
Simple and durable in design, the firearm is very easy to maintain. With
a reasonable amount of care, the P-12 should give you many years of
dependable service. In order to take maximum advantage of the many
featuresoftheP-12,regularlyreviewthisowner’smanual.
Please contact us if you have any observations or questions regarding the
performance or the operation of your firearm.
Thank you.
