TriStar Arms Bristol S&s 12 Gauge 28" 2-Round Shotgun

The TriStar Arms Bristol S&S 12 Gauge 28" 2-Round Shotgun is purpose-built for shooters who demand a dependable, ergonomic platform for sport shooting, home defense, or field work. This side-by-side shotgun combines classic double-barrel design with modern manufacturing standards, making it an accessible entry point for both novice and experienced operators. The 28-inch barrel configuration balances sight radius and handling characteristics, while the 2-round capacity delivers quick target transitions without excessive magazine volume.

Weighing 8.88 lbs, the TriStar Bristol offers controllable recoil impulse and extended shooting sessions without fatigue accumulation—critical for range training and tactical scenarios. The side-by-side action provides intuitive manual operation and simplified maintenance; both barrels remain independent, reducing the risk of a single malfunction affecting your ability to engage targets. The 28-inch barrel length generates adequate velocity for 12-gauge buckshot and slugs while maintaining maneuverability in confined spaces, making this shotgun viable for close-quarters work and outdoor applications.

This platform suits home defenders seeking a non-tactical, socially acceptable shotgun option, competitive clay shooters, and law enforcement personnel evaluating backup or training systems. The TriStar Bristol's dimensions (10 x 3 x 37 inches) align with standard shotgun storage, vehicle security systems, and safe placement. Operators should verify local regulations regarding barrel length and capacity before purchase; ammunition compatibility includes all standard 12-gauge loads, from low-recoil training rounds to premium defense ammunition. Proper maintenance of the firing pin, ejectors, and action rails ensures long-term reliability.
