The TriStar Matrix Inertia delivers reliable semi-automatic performance through its proven inertia-driven operating system. This 12-gauge shotgun handles both 2¾" and 3" shells with consistent cycling across various loads, from light target rounds to heavy waterfowl ammunition.
What Makes This Different
The inertia operating system requires no gas ports or pistons, creating a cleaner-running action that maintains performance in harsh conditions. Unlike gas-operated shotguns that require regular cleaning of gas systems, the Matrix Inertia's simplified mechanism reduces maintenance requirements. The 28-inch barrel provides extended sight radius and improved swing dynamics for moving targets.
Key Features
- Inertia-driven semi-automatic action cycles 2¾" and 3" shells reliably
- 28-inch blued steel barrel with ventilated rib and fiber optic front sight
- Black synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces and adjustable length of pull
- 5+1 capacity with chrome-lined chamber for corrosion resistance
- Three interchangeable choke tubes (IC, M, F) included with wrench
- Oversized trigger guard accommodates gloved hands
- Cross-bolt safety located behind trigger guard
Field testing demonstrates consistent ejection patterns across shell weights from 1⅛ oz to 1⅜ oz loads. The extended barrel length enhances accuracy for waterfowl hunting and clay sports, while the inertia system functions reliably in wet conditions without gas fouling issues. The synthetic stock resists weather damage and maintains zero shift through temperature changes.
