    Default Tristar Viper G2

    Anyone shooting the Turkey model with the pistol grip? What are the pros/ cons to the gun? Tossing around 20ga ideas and this one has caught my attention some.

    I'd be checking reviews for issues. Wasn't a tristar but have owned a Turkish made CD semi auto that failed due to bad bolt lock lug, no parts available. Didn't see a many years of use either.

    I bought one from PSA last year, but I never shot it as the trigger was stiff (7lbs). It is currently at William Lambert’s getting some trigger work. I’m looking forward to toting it in the woods.

    Jane's TriStar had a very stiff trigger as well.
    I took a dremel to it and problem solved!

    Hell that might even be too much in his favor, maybe just a rock or a stick.

    How does it compare to the a Legacy Pointer .410?

    Never shot a legacy. Based on their almost no warranty and negative reviews....I'd recommend staying away.....Fellow rabbit hunter has one in 20 ga.. Won't run 100%. He sent it back and it came back still broke. They gave him a rash of crap about the ammo he was using..........DO NOT BUY ANY LEGACY SHOTGUNS!!!
