History[]
In November 2006, Smith & Wesson announced that it would re-enter the shotgun market with two new lines of shotguns, the 1000 Series and the break-open Elite Series, unveiled at the 2007 SHOT Show.[2] Both series were manufactured in Turkey.[2][3]
The 1000 Series was offered in four models:[1]
- 1012 – 12-gauge chambered for 2 3⁄4 and 3 in (7.0 and 7.6 cm) shotshells; barrel lengths 24 to 30 in (61 to 76 cm) in 2-inch increments
- 1012 Super – same as 1012, except chambered for 3 1⁄2 in (8.9 cm) magnum shotshells
- 1020 – 20-gauge with same chambering and barrel lengths as the 1012
- 1020SS – "short stock" 1020; 24 in (61 cm) barrel and 43 in (110 cm) overall length
The 1000 Series was discontinued by September 2010.[4]
