The TriStar Cobra III Field Pump Compact 20 Gauge is a pump-action shotgun with a 24-inch barrel and a shorter 13-inch length of pull (TriStar part no. 23156). TriStar built the Compact with a shorter stock for shooters who want a closer fit without giving up field-gun features. The synthetic stock and forearm are injection molded for durability, and the vent rib carries a fiber optic sight. It chambers 3-inch shells, shoots light target loads to heavy field loads and weighs about 5.4 pounds. It is a practical gun for dove, upland birds and training a new shooter.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 20 gauge, a lighter-recoiling choice for upland birds and newer shooters.
• The chamber accepts 3-inch shells, so it handles light target loads through heavy field loads.
• The barrel is 24 inches long, a handy length that swings quickly in cover.
• The action is a pump with an extended forearm for a better fit and feel under your support hand.
• The stock and forearm are injection-molded synthetic, built to take rain, brush and rough handling.
• The magazine is a five-round tubular design with a shot plug installed, and the plug can be removed by unscrewing the magazine cap.
• The sight is a fiber optic front on a vent rib with a matted sight plane, which cuts glare and picks up quickly.
• Three Beretta/Benelli Mobil-style choke tubes (IC, M, F) are included with a choke box and wrench.
• The safety is a trigger-guard safety located on the backside of the trigger guard, where it is easy to find without shifting your grip.
• Average weight is 5.4 pounds with a 13-inch length of pull, a light, quick-handling figure.
