Reviews about Tri Star Reliability

Discussion in 'Trapshooting Forum - Americantrapshooter.com' started by Mike n Missouri, Mar 1, 2025.

  1. The designs on these guns look good. There is a bunch on the SCTP circuit but I am interested in reliability reviews and impact point.

    Are they patterning where they are supposed to and what is the reliability expectations?

    I have a few kids in the family ready to make the move to the sport.

    Thanks in advance.

    The technology about shotguns isn't very complicated. They have a pipe like devise with an explosion at one end. They all shoot the same ammo. Triggers vary. There have been some perfect scores with 1100s.

    The “Big Guy” shot his two pretty well. And in one of those articles in the old magazine he said the only difference between them was his doubles 1100 had a stock 1/4” shorter than the one he used for singles and caps.

    I had a Tri-Star O/U five years ago. It was nothing but trouble and traded it in. Don't know much about their semi-autos or pumps.

    I bought a top mono when they first came out for my grandson when he was 14..it has been as reliable and he has shot good scores with it including some registered targets ..he is 21 now and still shoots it occasionally ..like someone above said it's and entry level gun not designed to shoot 5000 rounds a year thru. I will say that I see a lot of them at FFA trapshoots and registered shoots and kids seem to shoot them pretty well,probably much better than they would a field gun which is at the same price range.
