The FP (police-pattern) configuration pairs a compact 20 in barrel with an extended magazine tube that runs close to the muzzle. Capacity is listed at 5 rounds, and the chamber is 2-3/4" only. The barrel uses a Fixed C choke (fixed cylinder), well-suited to this configuration.
Sighting is handled by rifle-style iron sights: a front ramped post with a colored insert and an adjustable rear notch. Controls include a cross-bolt safety and a knurled charging handle for positive manipulation.
The synthetic stock and handguard are finished in black, with molded diagonal grip panels for traction. The stock includes sling swivels and a hard rubber buttplate, and the listed length of pull is 14.5 in. The metal carries a matte black finish, with the receiver finished matte black to match.
Origin and markings are clearly identified: "P. BERETTA – MADE IN ITALY." Factory literature for the 1200 series notes an inertia, rotating-bolt system, and this FP example is listed as a semi-automatic model configured for 2-3/4 in shotshells.
