The Beretta 1201 FP is a semi-automatic shotgun, developed in the late 1980s or early 1990s by the Italian arms manufacturing company Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta. It is an upgrade to the preceding model, the Beretta 1200. The 1201 was manufactured in two versions, 1201F, intended for hunting and sporting, and the 1201FP, intended for law enforcement duties.
[edit] Specification
The 1201 closely resembles the Benelli M1 Super 90 shotgun and has the same recoil-operated semiautomatic action, developed and patented by Benelli. The 1201FP was available with polymer furniture and stock, either with classic or pistol grip. Since the recoil spring is located in the buttstock, this shotgun cannot be fitted with a folding buttstock. The 1201FP can be found with either ghost-ring (large aperture diopter) or open rifle-type rear sights, and with the blade front sight.
