TriStar Arms 98751 Matrix Full 20 Gauge 3" 6-Round Semi-Auto Shotgun

The TriStar 98751 Matrix full size 20 gauge semi-auto shotgun delivers reliable home defense and sport shooting performance in a compact, user-friendly platform. Designed for shooters who demand less maintenance and greater ammunition flexibility, this 26-inch vent rib barrel shotgun handles a broader range of 20 gauge loads without excessive cleaning cycles. Whether deployed for tactical training, home protection, or clay shooting, the Matrix inertia-driven action minimizes recoil management burden and maximizes uptime in the field.

Built around an inertia-driven action system, the TriStar 98751 operates with reduced friction, allowing shooters to run lighter target loads and heavier 3-inch magnum ammunition with equal reliability. The oversized operating handle ensures positive manipulation even in tactical scenarios or with gloved hands, while the slam-button bolt release accelerates emergency unloading. Fiber optic front sight provides fast target acquisition in low-light conditions, and the fixed walnut stock delivers classic ergonomics with proven durability. At 8.4 pounds and 37.8 inches overall length, the Matrix balances pointability with recoil absorption for extended shooting sessions.

Law enforcement trainers and civilian defensive shooters benefit most from the Matrix's ammunition versatility—standard target loads cycle flawlessly alongside premium defensive buckshot loads without adjustment or cleaning between transitions. The included 5-round magazine and shot plug enable compliance with local hunting regulations, while the black steel receiver and vent rib barrel configuration support future optic mounting for training progression. Right-hand operation standard; this shotgun pairs effectively with tactical sling systems and maintains zero shift across the velocity spectrum typical of 20 gauge duty and sport ammunition.
