\"KRX<\/a>The TriStar KRX Tactical Shotgun is a serious player. With AR ergonomics and a box magazine, it is easy to load and simple to shoot. No matter what your sport, the KRX is ready to play. The advanced self-adjusting gas system feeds any shotgun ammo reliably and the removable choke system (Beretta\/Benelli Mobile Threads) lets you pick your pattern, including extended tactical chokes.<\/p>\n

When the rep from Tristar told me that had a new semi-auto shotgun, I asked him two things; Does it run? Can I get more magazines for it? If the answers are yes to both, I can write about it. The good news is that the KRX is very reliable and loaded with advanced features. Tristar sells all the magazines a boy could ever want. I was in.<\/p>\n

The first thing you notice about the KRK is the weight. It’s light. At 7.4 pounds it feels more like an AR than a shotgun and it points and balances very nicely. The stock and forearm are made of injection molded polymer.\u00a0 The built-in rubber recoil pad is a nice touch. The overall fit and finish of the shotgun are good. One of my pet peeves is wiggle in guns where the stock or grips move. The KRX feels solid and well made. stock and forearm are made of injection molded polymer and it features a full-length top rail, removable carrying handle, a bridge front sight, and a rubber recoil pad.<\/p>\n

The heart of the KRX is a self-regulating gas system. Many guns can run well with a specific load. KRX has two barrel ports which impinge a self-adjusting piston. This means that light loads get more gas and heavy loads get less ensuring that all loads get the right amount of energy to cycle and excess gas is vented so you don\u2019t beat up the gun and the shooter. I tried over a dozen types of ammo and it fed them all.\"KRX<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been searching for a reliable magazine fed shotgun for a long time. The Russian Siaga was available, but the cost of custom builds was prohibitive and the stock guns had many functional issues. It has no bolt hold open and does not allow a tactical reload with a full magazine. Remington and Mossberg have recently released great magazine fed pump guns, but those are pump guns. I wanted a box feed semi-auto.<\/p>\n

The KRX runs like a modern semi-automatic, that is to say, an AR. You don\u2019t have to shoot like a 1950\u2019s communist. The bolt holds open on the last round, you can exchange magazines in a tactical reload. Like a pump shotgun, you can load a single round through the ejection port if you are empty and don\u2019t have a magazine or time to load one. In competition and in life, options are often important.<\/p>\n
