TriStar Arms is marking its 30th anniversary in September 2026, highlighting three decades of selling shotguns, rifles and pistols aimed at hunters, recreational shooters and clay-target competitors. Founded in 1996 and based in Kansas City, Missouri, the company says it has grown firearm sales more than twentyfold, overall business more than twenty-five times, and its workforce fivefold, with three headquarters expansions.

President Ryan Bader credited customers, dealers, distributors and industry partners. CEO Gus Bader remains involved. The company points to lines such as the Viper Series, Trinity over/unders and TT-15 competition shotguns as examples of its value-focused lineup, developed with manufacturing partners and customer feedback.
