TriStar Arms has an extensive lineup of imported semi-automatic, double-barrel, lever-action .410s and home defense shotguns that it keeps expanding. New for 2024, the company is adding a new model to double-barrel side-by-side offerings with the Phoenix, a value-priced shotgun with high-end features.

With the Phoenix, TriStar is offering a base model side-by-side double-barrel to complement its Bristol series of shotguns. The shotgun has a case-colored steel receiver and 28” blued steel, chrome-lined barrels that are threaded for the Beretta Mobil choke system (skeet, improved cylinder, modified, improved modified and full supplied). A single brass bead constitutes the sighting system. A single selective trigger is matched with tang-mounted safety and selector. Forward and back works the safety, and side-to-side movement selects which barrel will fire. Where the Bristol uses ejectors, the Phoenix has extractors.

The buttstock of the Phoenix has a pistol-grip design, versus the straight grip, English-style stock of the Bristol. Stocks are made of select Turkish walnut, checkered in the wrist and fore-end areas, with a high-gloss finish. The result is what TriStar calls “competition-grade craftsmanship at Field Grade pricing.”

The Phoenix is offered in both 12 gauge and 20 gauge. Specifications are identical except that the 20-ga. version, at 6.6 lbs. weighs 5 ozs. less than the 12-ga. model. Both gauges use 3" chambers.

The TriStar Arms Phoenix shotgun has an MSRP of $795 in either 12 gauge or 20 gauge. For more information, visit the TriStar Arms' website here.
