Does Tri-Shot Shotgun Brand Really Matter?
« on: April 19, 2011, 06:32:38 PM »

I would really like to get a tri-shot shotgun, but I'm worried that I'll get another gun that breaks very easily, has poor quality, poor performance, etc...

However, I heard that almost all of the $40-$70 tri-shots are pretty much the same thing.

Is this true?
Is one brand better than all of the others? (In the < $80 price range, that is)
Any personal reviews or recommendations?

Please reply!

All the cheap ones are pretty much the same. I personally love TM's a lot more, however they are a lot more expensive.

^Agreed.
Personally I've had a UTG full stock, and a TSD pistol grip. Out of my experience I'd say go with the UTG, if that is, you don't want to shell out for a TM. I think I've seen a few floating around in the classifieds.

Why? Are there any big differences between the TM and UTG? (besides quality, of course)

well with the TM apparently it has Hop up for all 3 barrels, where as with the DE/UTG/TSD only the top barrel has hop up. (not sure if this is true)

the thing is the TM is alot more rare and costs twice as much as the cheaper ACM counterparts but both of them are prone to breaking if you pump it wrong.

I sincerely hope that's not true...that's too much fail. If DE copied the whole gun they have to have copied the tri-barrel/tri-hop design.

TSD/DE trishots have a metal barrel and fake magazine tube. The UTG ones don't.

Have any of you owned more than just one of the clones? If so, do you prefer one over the other?

I've owned all of the clones. They all work the same, all are just fine. The TSD ones have metal barrels, UTG doesn't, but that's pretty much the main difference. I like the TSD because I like the long metal barrel model.

Tis not true, for the UTG at least.

Does the lack of metal barrels make a noticable difference? Or is it pretty much just personal prefrence?

Personal preference really. There's a slight difference in weight, but meh, it's not too serious. Just get whichever you that is in the style you want, and is actually in stock.

If you buy the sliding stock model, be sure to get the TSD or whatever has the metal tube. It is much sturdier than the plastic one. I just recently had the pleasure of comparing the two, only to find my metal one much more robust.

make sure that you get the right shells for it. My friends have them and one of them bought the wrong shells. also a stock shot-shell holder will be a good investment(about $7 at cabellas).

Its really more like Double Eagle vs TM because TSD or UTG they all come from Double Eagle with different variant. So unless you skirmish with the box... it's pretty much Double Eagle.
