Tri Star

[cruzans]

Couldn't resist any longer - picked up a Tri Star 380. I have a few Turkish guns and they are all top quality. I've heard nothing buy good about these tri stars, canik's, etc.. And for $289 I had to! Ordered some nice wood grips from my overseas friend right away Gun should be in Wednesday, my ffl had me get one for him too .....

Gun came in last week, and my new grips from my buddy in Thailand came in today. I think they look sweet - then again, I'm partial to rosewood type wood grips

They are blowback right? I also remember seeing that the grips fit longer than the frame. Do you plan on trimming them down? It looks good.

If they made a subcompact 9mm in 1911 control pattern I'd take one.

First off let us know how that puppy shoots, grips look fantastic, that is one of the few of their models that I don't have. Zet 70 they do make that same model in 9mm . Here is EFR's custom tri star 9mm with a dawson tactical rear novak sight and a tritium front sight. You can do a lot with these pistols and both the tristar and canik lines are a great value.




PS give us range report on the 380 also how many rounds does it hold?

I'm going to keep them as they are. Because they come down almost to the bottom of the mag - I'm ok with it. I know Canik has changed to metal thin bottom mags I believe, so glad I don't have them because the grips might hang down below and I'd have to adjust ! So far, very happy with my $289 hi capacity cz clone

As Brian pointed out, it does come in compact 9. Somewhat 1911 thumb safety, obviously no grip safety and different trigger.

Dumb question, but I'm a little uneasy carrying this cocked with safety on ( I know, I need to get over that - lol. I have gotten over it with my Sig 238, but will take time on this one ). Is it unsafe to cock and then manually drop the hammer and carry so it as double action? Would a hit to the hammer cause discharge?

I know I'd love a RAMI clone. Can't find a 2075 anywhere. When I do they are around $600.

[Brian Ahearn]

For $289 that's a good deal so I take it that it holds 15 in the mag , shoot it and let us know how it goes I been thinking about getting this one just to compare it to an CZ 83.

Suppose to be 15, but no matter how hard I try, I can only get 13 in, the mag is actually marked 14 so who knows?

Hope to get to the range over the next week or so - haven't had a lot of spare time recently -lol.
