Mar 10, 2010 · I don't know anything about TriStar guns. I would rather buy an old better known gun, than buy something I might have a tough time finding parts for. Keep your eye out for a SKB, Browning, Ithaca or Beretta...etc. You may run across a bargain. I bought a SKB\Ithaca mod. 500 for 500.00 bucks.
