Tristar Shotgun, anyone ever use?

[deadeye762]

Ive been checking this company out for sometime. I have seen in person the single shot TT-09 which is based on the Brownings BT-99 and I was impressed with the craftsmanship.

Im looking at the Viper semi-auto and Just wondering if anyone has had or heard of someones first hand experience with the Tristar line. Thanks in advance.

Don't know about the semi autos but do have a O/U 20 ga. I like the gun but do have a couple issues with mine. The safety is a too loose. The slightest bump on the safety will move it. The other issue is that my upper barrel shoots low. at 30 yards I only get about 3" of pattern above point of aim. I sent it back and it was returned with 3 targets and the same results and a letter saying it was within spec. huh? ....The lower barrel shoots dead center.

Turkish made I believe....The turks are capable of producing some nice guns. Had a S&W 1012 waterfowl model, also turkish made, gun was flawless in operation and appearance, just couldn't shoot the dang thing worth a damn. Sold it ! Cost me a bunch to replace it though.....SX3 and a Silver they're shooters !

I have a hunting buddy who has a 3 inch tristar semiauto for about 4 years now I believe and he loves his. He has had no problems with it which really suprises me since he does not clean very often.

I have shot trap with it as well and it handled very well and was just a nice fitting and shooting gun for me.

thanks for the replies, i just wish there was somewhere I could at least hold one. I seem to know whenever I grab a shotgun if it is going to work for me. I have a few different guns I use, and I have shot many, Some just dont fit. I would love the chance to just try one also!!

Any takers?
