TriStar Arms 33164 Cypher 20 3" 2-Round Left Hand Over/Under Shotgun

The TriStar 33164 Cypher 20 Gauge break-open shotgun delivers reliable performance in a compact platform built for shooters who demand precision and durability. Chambered in 20 gauge, this over/under configuration pairs a 28-inch blued steel ventilated rib barrel with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel receiver, creating a firearm engineered for consistent accuracy downrange while resisting environmental degradation. The ambidextrous design accommodates both right and left-handed operators, a critical feature for tactical training environments and mixed-shooter households.

Built around a 2-round capacity, the Cypher functions as a dual-barrel platform where each barrel fires independently, giving operators controlled shot placement without magazine management between rounds. The fixed Turkish walnut stock absorbs recoil through its mass and geometry, reducing shooter fatigue during extended range sessions. At 8.58 pounds, the overall weight sits within the practical range for hunting, sport shooting, and training applications where sustained accuracy matters more than lightweight portability. The 28-inch barrel length maximizes sight radius and pellet velocity while maintaining a 37-inch overall length suitable for vehicle transport and secure storage.

This configuration appeals to sport shooters, upland hunters, and training-focused operators seeking a secondary firearm platform. The 20 gauge delivers sufficient payload for clay disciplines and small game while generating substantially less recoil than 12 gauge equivalents—a measurable advantage during high-volume range days. Ambidextrous operation eliminates the need for dedicated left-hand or right-hand variants, simplifying inventory for shooting clubs and training facilities. The stainless receiver paired with blued barrel requires standard maintenance but resists corrosion far more effectively than all-steel designs, extending service life in humid or coastal environments.
