TriStar Arms is gearing up to make waves at the Mid-States Winter Rendezvous on January 30-31 in Phoenix, Arizona, where they’ll be holding court at booth #542. This isn’t just another trade show pit stop—it’s a prime opportunity for dealers and industry insiders to get hands-on with TriStar’s latest firepower, including the freshly unveiled APOC PRO 9mm pistol, the Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock shotgun, and the versatile KR22 rimfire rifle. In a market flooded with big-name hype, TriStar’s Turkish-engineered affordability has always punched above its weight, delivering reliable, budget-friendly options that keep everyday shooters in the game without breaking the bank.
Diving deeper, the APOC PRO 9mm stands out as a tactical evolution in TriStar’s lineup, blending AR-inspired ergonomics with pistol-caliber punch—perfect for home defense or range domination without the NFA red tape of a short-barreled rifle. Pair that with the Upland Hunter’s thumbhole stock, a nod to precision wing-shooting enthusiasts who demand control in dynamic hunts, and the KR22’s rimfire plinking prowess, and you’ve got a trifecta appealing to diverse 2A niches: tactical pros, bird hunters, and budget trainers alike. This exhibit timing is savvy amid ongoing ammo shortages and inflation pressures; TriStar’s value proposition could accelerate dealer orders, signaling to the community that innovation isn’t reserved for elite budgets. For 2A advocates, it’s a reminder that accessible manufacturing from partners like Turkey bolsters domestic supply chains, countering import restrictions and keeping shelves stocked.
The implications ripple outward: as Mid-States buzz hits social feeds, expect dealer networks to buzz with pre-orders, potentially flooding gun shops with these models by spring. This move reinforces TriStar’s role as a 2A underdog champion, proving that quality gear at shooter-friendly prices sustains our rights against regulatory headwinds. If you’re a dealer or enthusiast with Phoenix connections, booth #542 is your must-hit—snap some pics, test the triggers, and join the conversation shaping the next wave of American firepower.
