TriStar Arms Cypher 28 Gauge 3" 2-Round Stainless Over/Under Shotgun

The TriStar Arms Cypher 28 Gauge 3" 2-Round Stainless Over/Under Shotgun delivers a lightweight, versatile platform designed for hunters and sport shooters who demand precision and reliability in the field. Weighing just 9 lbs, this over/under configuration is ideal for upland game, clay shooting, and situations where reduced recoil and ammunition cost matter without sacrificing effective range. The 28 gauge has long been favored by experienced shooters for its reduced payload, faster target acquisition, and lower felt recoil—making it an excellent choice for extended shooting sessions or younger, smaller-framed users developing proper shooting mechanics.

Built with stainless steel construction, the Cypher resists corrosion and environmental degradation, extending service life in wet or harsh conditions typical of field deployment. The over/under action provides superior handling balance and allows shooters to select shot loads optimized for each barrel—a critical advantage when transitioning between tight patterns and open spreads. The 3" chamber accommodates standard and magnum 28 gauge ammunition, delivering flexibility in load selection while the 2-round capacity (one round per barrel) emphasizes deliberate shot placement and ammunition discipline, reducing shot count in hunting or training scenarios where precision matters more than volume.

This shotgun benefits shooters who prioritize accuracy, minimal recoil management, and lightweight carry during full-day hunting expeditions or competitive clay events. The stainless finish requires minimal maintenance compared to blued steel alternatives, reducing downtime between outings. Ammunition compatibility spans all commercial 28 gauge loads rated for 3" chambers, ensuring ready availability through standard sporting goods retailers and online ammunition suppliers for both practice and field use.
