Careful with the Tristar. I bought one a while back, apparently they dont like heavy loads of sorts. I shot skeet all summer with mine one year and no problem, take it duck hunting, and wow did it kick, broke it open and both shells come shooting out. Talking with a local gunsmith, he said that some of them have lower quality metals in the actions, which causes the double touch-off because the hammer doesnt re-engage all the way. Does fine with target or upland rounds, but 3" steel rounds not so much. Also one of my ejectors broke, took it to a couple gunsmiths, and they just shake theyre heads. Tri-star doesnt import part for them, so if something breaks you have to send the gun back to them for them to fix it
