 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at a tri-star 12-gauge shotgun called the Cobra 3 Marine Check out that finish That's why it's called the marine model It's got this heavy coating that not only looks good, but it's very resistant to the elements We hear so often that shotgun barrels begin pitting over time or they take them into a Moist environment and people have problems won't happen with this Because it's got that coating on there that I think looks Outstanding it has a couple other things that I want to go through because it's got an MSRP of 305 and this is a lot of shotgun for the money It's got about three-quarter inch recoil pad polymer stock Polymer 4-end with a pick rail blade it up front sight. It does have a cylinder bore choke so it is threaded so other chokes could be added and then the magazine tube holds Five rounds and I've got six loaded right now, but there's something else I want to show you that I've never seen before, but I'm gonna shoot these in We'll talk about that. Did you notice anything different? It has a Spring loaded forend check this out Yeah, I'm loaded So the idea of short-stroking this shotgun Will not happen because it's got a spring in there. I'm not sure if you'll be able to see that But all you do is move the action and it will Spring load right back into place Now I have to admit I have short-stroked some pump action shotguns in the past You have to if you shot enough then I know you have and This will prevent that it's got a chrome lined barrel and chamber and I think I mentioned the MSRP is 305 and I think that's a lot of shotgun For the money. It's got an 18 and a half inch barrel. So it's small enough, but yet You know, it is a nice shotgun so far. I'm really digging it and I think it really looks cool Let's load it up. All right, so I have five shells in the magazine tube without one of the chamber Here's Fioki seven and a half shot high velocity So it's a much more powerful load than what you just saw But I want to further demonstrate the forend. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to Rack it back and then let go First shot we'll go right in the middle All right Just like that That's it. What do you think? Have you ever seen anything like that? It's got nice. I mean, I think that's a pretty cool feature now if you don't like that You can take that spring out and you can manually work the Forend as most other shotguns are so or offer so that's that's pretty cool But it's got a kind of tactical look to it with that marine coating in the black accents along with the way the trigger looks It's got the forend release right there All right, and it's a tri-star But every time I do a shotgun review somebody says how come you didn't put slugs in that How come we didn't see you shoot slugs? How do we know it looks up slugs? Well, I've got slugs So let me load up those slugs. All right, so here are three inch one and a quarter ounce Slugs I have four loaded up in the Cobra three. I'm going to shoot at that center tombstone only My targets are phenomenal CTS targets. I love them But I want to keep them. They've with withstood everything that I've ever fired at them. But in this case I'm only gonna use that tombstone Wow Well, those were four Slugs and man did that punch back. I'm thankful for the heavy Recoil pad, but I'm also feeling that Because it's a light shotgun 6.2 Six pounds two ounces would be the way to say it And I'm pretty happy Pretty happy with it hundred percent reliable so far with target loads high-velocity loads and now Slugs here three more three inch slugs. I'm gonna load it up and Show you the recoil in slow motion So you can be impressed not only by the shotgun But by the reviewer you're gonna say This guy is one manly man. Are you ready? Here we go. I'm back up a little bit I just watched the shooting on my viewfinder And did you notice on that third one that it did chamber with the help of the spring loading? That's a good example of what could happen because it was a three inch shell It got caught up just a little bit. I think in many other cases with other shotguns. It may not have Fully chambered, but that time it did and I was happy with the way that turned out So there it is TriStar Cobra 3 Marine model There's a look at the loading gate Also has a cross bolt safety But it works great and I do look forward to doing more with this especially some of the shotgun Spreads with some of the various chokes, but a nice setup, and I'm really happy with it Oh, by the way, the chokes are a Beretta Benelli choke So if you have those already or they're easy to find you can throw those chokes in there Get a little tighter spread if that's what you want, but I plan to do more with this It's a it's a nice shooting shotgun it performed well, and I certainly think it looks beautiful If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
