Description
There is a lot to like about a gas gun that keeps things simple, and the Pointer FT12 Field Tek does exactly that. Imported by Legacy Sports International, this 12 gauge semi-auto runs a gas-operated action with a rotating bolt head, which takes the sting out of heavier loads and keeps the muzzle settled for quicker follow-up shots. The 3 inch chamber handles everything from light target loads to stout waterfowl and turkey shells, and the 5+1 capacity gives you plenty on tap for a fast-moving dove field.
Built for Real Days in the Field
The 28 inch barrel wears a raised ventilated rib and a fiber optic front sight, a combo that makes tracking crossing birds feel natural and gets your eye on target fast in low light. Barrel and receiver carry a gray Cerakote finish over an aluminum receiver, so the FT12 shrugs off morning dew and muddy truck beds better than a traditional blued gun. The fixed black synthetic stock is the right call for a working shotgun too. No fretting over scratches, no swelling in wet weather, just grab it and go.
FT12 Features That Earn Their Keep
A few thoughtful touches stand out here. The oversized bolt handle is easy to run with cold fingers or gloves, and the crossbolt safety sits right where your trigger finger expects it. You also get five choke tubes in the box, so you can pattern tight for turkeys, open things up for quail over dogs, or find a happy middle ground for clays without buying anything extra.
Where the Pointer FT12 Fits
This is the kind of shotgun that makes sense for a first semi-auto, a loaner for the duck blind, or a do-it-all field gun you will not baby. It swings well, it cycles smoothly, and the included chokes let one gun cover most of the seasons on your calendar. For the money-conscious hunter who still wants gas-operated comfort, the FT12 checks the important boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Pointer FT12 come with choke tubes?
Yes, five choke tubes ship with the FT12, covering constrictions from open to full. That gives you the flexibility to pattern for turkeys, upland birds, waterfowl, or clay targets right out of the box without hunting down extra tubes.
What shells can the FT12 Field Tek handle?
The FT12 has a 3 inch chamber, so it will run both 2 3/4 and 3 inch 12 gauge shells. Like most gas-operated semi-autos, it tends to cycle most reliably with standard field and hunting loads, and very light target loads may need a short break-in period before the action smooths out.
Is the Pointer FT12 soft shooting?
It is on the softer side for a 12 gauge, thanks to its gas-operated system and rotating bolt head that bleed off recoil energy as the action cycles. Compared to a fixed-breech pump or break-action gun, you will notice less shove at the shoulder, especially during a long day on the clays course or a high-volume dove shoot.
Who makes the Pointer FT12 shotgun?
Pointer shotguns are built in Turkey and imported by Legacy Sports International, the same Reno-based company known for bringing in Howa rifles. Turkish shotgun manufacturing has come a long way, and the FT12 reflects that with solid fit and a durable Cerakote finish at a working-gun price point.
