History
The Fort-12 was produced to replace the Makarov pistols in Ukrainian service.
RPC Fort acquired machinery from the Česká Zbrojovka Uherský Brod[4] and the first "Fort-12" pistols were made in 1995.
In December 1998, the "Fort-12" was adopted.
While early Fort-12 copies suffered from reliability issues, RFC Fort addressed those problems and improved the design.[4]
Design
The Fort-12 is chambered in the 9x18mm Makarov, former standard ammunition for the Soviet Union and Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.[4]
The Fort-12 is similar to the CZ-75, utilizes a simple blowback-operated action, double-action type trigger and manual safety lever on the left side.[4]
Accessories
RFC Fort also provides duty holster for uniformed security personnel.[7]
