TriStar Sporting Arms introduced its pistol line in 2012, and has expanded it for 2013. One of its premier new offerings is the C-100, which is manufactured in and imported from Turkey.

The C-100 is a compact clone of the well-known, and greatly respected, CZ-75 design. It features a double/single action; with rear snag-free dovetail sights and a fixed-blade front sight. The manual safety allows the pistol to be carried cocked and locked, with the safety on.

You can get a closer look at the TriStar C-100 in the video below, hosted by American Rifleman Senior Executive Editor Brian Sheetz.
