TriStar Arms

TriStar Arms is proud to announce the release of the LR94 line of lever-action .410 shotguns, combining a fun and versatile cartridge with a fun and versatile classic action.

Now the beautiful English-stocked, color case-hardened model and the gold-adorned, laser-engraved Silver model are available in a fifth gauge.

As far as bang for your buck goes, TriStar Arms has established a very good reputation. Way down at the bargain end of the spectrum, the prices are so low that it’s often overlooked by serious shotgunners. At GunsAmerica, we don’t believe you should need a trust fun to shoot trap or skeet, so we dropped by TriStar during SHOT 2018 to check out the new products.

There have been multiple efforts by companies to create guns in that same mold as the revered CZ-75, but few have come as close to bringing a solid version to market as TriStar. The best part of this effort is the notably affordable price of their offering here in the US. Say hello to the C100.

There are few firearms as versatile as the shotgun. The modern shotgun is a work of engineering prowess, but one seemingly insurmountable issue has been developing a semi-automatic that can fire the full range of loads. In these cases, you usually must revert back to a pump action. But what if you want one that can do everything?

TriStar is adding new guns to their catalog with a pair of 3.5-inch magnum 12-gauge shotguns and a set of compact CZ-style pistols with rails.

Tristar had some new shotguns at SHOT Show this year. If you are not familiar with Tristar they are making some very nicely build price-point shotguns. They may not have the fanciest fit and finish or every bell and whistle, but they flat out run. There were two stand outs in the new guns Tristar had at SHOT this year. One is a tactical AR styled shotgun and the other is a single barrel trap gun.

I believe a new shooter should start with a fully functional gun and not some bargain basement piece of crap. Youth shooters would do well to check out a TriStar. These inexpensive shotguns work incredibly well, and don’t break the bank. Some of them are even pink–which got me some strange looks at the range.

We are so lucky to live in this time when precision machinery and quality materials allow for the production of affordable guns that give up little to their higher-priced brethren. Imported by TriStar Arms from Turkey, the new ATAC Raptor Turkey gun is a great example. As an extension of the company’s low-priced Raptor series, it delivers solid performance and dependability on a proven action.
