Like all TriStar guns, these new additions are priced to move with very competitive MSRPs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tristararms.com\/products\/3-12-mag\/pump-action\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tristars-newest-3-5-inch-12-gauges-and-all-steel-compact-pistols\" title=\"TriStar's Newest: 3.5-inch 12-Gauges and All-Steel Compact Pistols\">The new Cobra Mag<\/a> shotguns extend the Cobra line of pumps, offered with a standard black synthetic furniture or Realtree Max 5 camo finish. They&#8217;ve got extended, ribbed handguards, raised, ventilated ribs and fiber optic front sights.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-inch barrels are threaded for Beretta\/Benelli Mobile-pattern chokes and each shotgun comes with three chokes, one improved cylinder, one modified and one full choke. Combined with the magnum chamber these shotguns can shoot a wide range of ammo types, with easy-to-control patterns.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/affordable-gobbler-guns-and-gear-tristars-raptor-atac-new-shotgun-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tristars-newest-3-5-inch-12-gauges-and-all-steel-compact-pistols\" title=\"TriStar's Newest: 3.5-inch 12-Gauges and All-Steel Compact Pistols\">TriStar&#8217;s Raptor ATAC \u2013 New Shotgun Review<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>They&#8217;re not ultralight at 6.9 pounds but that&#8217;s not a bad thing when shooting heavier payloads, and they&#8217;re not so heavy that they will be a burden in the field.

While these are mechanically similar to CZs pistols, these guns have a couple of key differences that make them stand out on their own.<\/p>\n<p>P-100 pistols have a railed steel frame, a feature only available on CZ&#8217;s more expensive alloy-framed 75 series. At 36 ounces unloaded these guns are still light enough for concealed carry and with a light mounted on the rail they can be capable home-defense pistols.<\/p>\n<p>The 9mm P-100 has a standard 15+1 capacity where the .40 is 11+1. They ship with two high-quality Mec-Gar magazines, have tough Cerakote finishes and slim polymer grips. They are traditional double-action\/single-action pistols with a manual thumb safety and can be carried cocked-and-locked.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re priced in-line with TriStar&#8217;s other compacts with a $490 suggested retail price. Street prices are already listing at right around or below $400, which is very competitive for all-steel double-action\/single-action service pistols.<\/p>\n<p>These guns all offer solid value and TriStar is already off to a solid start for 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TriStar is adding new guns to their catalog with a pair of 3.5-inch magnum 12-gauge shotguns and
