A good friend has been shooting informal skeet and doves with a TriStar TT-15 .410 for the past year. He wanted a cheap .410 OU and that is what he got. The trigger pulls are heavier than the gun itself. The ejectors work on their own schedule and are poorly timed. The gun becomes difficult to open as it heats up during a round of skeet. He hasn't checked the barrels' point of impact and is probably afraid to find out. He still likes the gun beyond its warts, which probably speaks more to cognitive dissonance than the gun itself. TriStar has its repair shop nearby and they are popular with new shooters at the local gun clubs. They tend develop issues when frequently used on targets: triggers, ejectors, weak hammer strikes, firing pins, etc. Another friend used a TriStar for informal trap league and that gun seemed to have a different problem each week. Used ones around here go for pennies on the dollar., if they go at all.
