For years, TriStar Arms has been recognized as a manufacturer of quality shotguns at value prices, and in 2012, the company introduced its first line of handguns. In 2013, TriStar will add to the list of pistols for personal defense and target shooting in both 9 mm and .40 S&W.

The pistols will be available in a blued, chrome or polymer finish, and will be offered in a variety of series based on the frame, length and weight. Each gun will have a double/single action, a rear snag-free dovetail sight and fixed front blade sight.

"We are excited about the opportunity to launch a new line of firearms with the TriStar name engraved on them. We are proud of our products and will deliver the very best in function," said Gus Bader, owner of TriStar Arms. "All of our pistols have been tested in every stage of production to ensure quality and reliability."
