Key Features
- 24-inch Barrel with Turkey Tactical Sights: This barrel length is just right for quick swings in tight cover, and the fiber-optic front sight gives you a bright bead even in low light. Why it matters: You’ll get on target faster when that gobbler steps out at dawn.
- Gas-Operated Semi-Auto Action: It cycles light target loads and heavy magnum shells alike without a hiccup. Why it matters: Less felt recoil means you can stay on target for a follow-up shot, and it’s easier on the shoulder during a long day afield.
- OD Green and Camo Finish: The durable coating resists scratches and glare while blending into the woods. Why it matters: You won’t spook game with a shiny barrel, and the finish holds up against wet brush and muddy truck beds.
- 5+1 Round Capacity with Screw-In Chokes: Comes with three choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) to match your hunt. Why it matters: You can dial in the pattern for turkeys, doves, or even clays without buying extra gear.
- Lightweight Synthetic Stock: At just over six pounds, it’s easy to carry through the woods all morning. Why it matters: Less fatigue means steadier hands when the shot presents itself.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for the Southern bird hunter who spends weekends chasing turkeys in the piney woods or walking up behind a good pointing dog on a dove field. It’s also a solid pick for the clay shooter who wants a reliable semi-auto without breaking the bank. If you appreciate a traditional look with modern reliability, you’ll feel right at home with this Pointer.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight, cycles a wide range of loads, affordable price point, included choke set, and a camo finish that actually works in the field.
- Cons: The gas system can be sensitive to very light target loads under 1 ounce — you might need to stick with 1-1/8 ounce shells for flawless cycling. Also, the synthetic stock doesn’t have the same warm feel as walnut, but it’s tougher in wet weather.
Comparison
| Feature | Pointer FT12 (This Model) | Mossberg 930 Turkey | Stoeger M3000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barrel Length | 24 inches | 24 inches | 24 inches |
| Weight | 6.5 lbs | 7.5 lbs | 6.8 lbs |
| Action | Gas-operated | Gas-operated | Inertia-driven |
| Finish | ODG/Camo | Mossy Oak Bottomland | Black synthetic |
| Price | $453 | $600+ | $500+ |
| Chokes Included | 3 (F, M, IC) | 3 (F, M, IC) | 3 (F, M, IC) |
The Pointer gives you a lighter gun at a lower price than the Mossberg 930, and the gas system tames recoil better than the Stoeger’s inertia action. You lose a bit of aftermarket support compared to Mossberg, but for the money, it’s hard to beat.
FAQ
What shells does the Pointer FT12 cycle reliably?
It handles 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells from 1-1/8 ounce on up. For the first 50 rounds, I’d recommend using high-brass loads to break in the gas system. After that, it’ll eat most anything you feed it.
Does this shotgun come with a choke wrench?
Yes, it includes a choke wrench and three tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. You’re set for turkey, dove, and clays right out of the box.
Is the finish durable for wet weather?
According to Pointer specs, the OD Green and camo coating is applied over a parkerized surface, so it resists rust fairly well. I’d still wipe it down after a rainy hunt, but it’s tougher than a standard blued finish.
Can I mount a red dot on this shotgun?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Weaver-style base, so you can add a dot if you like. Many turkey hunters do just that for tight patterns at 40 yards.
How does the recoil compare to a pump-action?
The gas system reduces felt recoil by about 30% compared to a pump. You’ll feel it less, especially with 3-inch magnum loads, making it a pleasure to shoot all day.
