For those looking to enter the target-sport side of shotgunning or are looking for an entry-level upland game gun, TriStar Arms presents its TT-15 Field series of boxlock over-under shotguns. Featuring a matte-finished silver receiver and Turkish walnut, TriStar’s TT-15 comes available in a full suite of chambering options, from .410 Bore to the largest available at size 12 gauge.

TriStar Arms’ TT-15 Field model in 28-ga. provides a 28” chrome-lined steel barrel with 3” chamber. Mono-bloc construction is used for manufacturing the barrel and chamber set, and the shotguns are threaded for extended, target-style Beretta MobilChoke shot constrictors—five included. Along the barrel’s top side and joint between, TriStar options its TT-15 with ventilated ribs, and a red fiber-optic sight is included. At the opposite end, mechanical ejectors are utilized on this model, along with a mechanical trigger mechanism.

A safety mechanism, barrel selector and top lever are located on the gun's receiver tang—manual operation of the safety is required for engagement. Additionally, the safety of the TT-15 Field, when engaged, is designed to block the trigger, hammer lever and the hammer, which immobilizes the firing mechanism.

Putting the TT-15 Field on target is aided by well-shaped Turkish walnut featuring laser-engraved panels of checkering at the gun’s fore-arm and wrist. A rubber recoil caps the buttstock to help reduce recoil imparted from upsized 3” 28-ga. shotshells.

Why the Murder Rate Quickly Fell to a Likely Historic Low

If the gun-control Left is to be believed, then the murder rate in the U.S. should be going up. After all, gun sales and ownership rates have been rising for the last few decades and anti-gun groups claim that gun ownership is the cause of violent crime. This, of course, is nonsense.
