TriStar Arms 33176 Cypher X 3" 2-Round Stainless Over/Under Shotgun

The TriStar Arms 33176 Cypher X 3" 2-Round Stainless Over/Under Shotgun is a compact, reliable breech-loading shotgun engineered for tactical applications, home defense, and specialized law enforcement use. Built on the proven over/under platform, this shotgun delivers the controllability and fast target transitions that professionals demand in high-stress scenarios. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in demanding environments, making it a durable choice for users who require a dependable secondary or primary firearm without compromise.

The 3-inch chamber accepts modern defensive and hunting ammunition, while the 2-round capacity reflects the design's balance between firepower and handling. At 7.75 lbs, the Cypher X delivers manageable recoil impulse and rapid aim recovery—critical advantages when engaging multiple threats or navigating confined spaces. The over/under barrel configuration inherently lowers the optical axis, reducing muzzle rise and simplifying shot sequencing. Stainless steel barrels and receiver withstand corrosive environments, saltwater exposure, and high round counts without degradation, ensuring long-service reliability across diverse operational conditions.

This platform benefits tactical teams, home defenders, and shooters who prioritize reliability and ergonomic simplicity. The 36.5-inch overall length provides adequate velocity while remaining maneuverable in vehicles and structures. Users seeking a dedicated breaching tool, backup shotgun, or training platform will appreciate the Cypher X's straightforward manual-of-arms and minimal maintenance footprint. Compatible with standard 12-gauge ammunition and modern tactical accessories, the TriStar Arms 33176 integrates seamlessly into professional and civilian defensive arsenals.
