Key Features
Compact 18.5″ Vent-Rib Barrel – Keeps overall length short for easy handling in tight spaces, making it ideal for smaller shooters or as a truck gun. The vent rib improves sight alignment and heat dissipation.
Fiber-Optic Front Sight – Provides a bright, high-visibility aiming point in low light. This speeds up target acquisition during clays or pest control.
Beretta/Benelli Mobil-Style Choke System – Includes multiple chokes (cylinder, improved cylinder, modified, full) so you can tune pattern density for different game or targets. Interchangeable with common aftermarket tubes.
Rubber Recoil Pad – Reduces felt recoil from .410 loads, making it comfortable for extended range sessions. Essential for youth shooters building fundamentals.
Fixed Walnut Field Stock – Offers a classic look and a solid cheek weld. The walnut finish resists moisture and stands up to field use.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for youth shooters, women, or anyone with a smaller frame who wants a .410 pump that’s easy to mount and swing. It also fits experienced shooters looking for a lightweight, low-recoil option for squirrel hunting, informal target shooting, or teaching new shooters. The short barrel and compact stock make it a solid choice for home defense in a tight layout—though .410 bore requires careful shot selection.
Pros / Cons
Pro: Lightweight at roughly 5.2 lbs—easy to carry all day.
Pro: Interchangeable choke system adds versatility for different loads.
Pro: Fiber-optic front sight improves low-light aiming.
Con: Fixed stock means no length-of-pull adjustment; taller shooters may find it cramped.

Per TriStar specs, the Cobra III undercuts both competitors on weight and includes more choke tubes out of the box. The Mossberg offers stock adjustability, while the Remington uses a fixed choke—less flexible for different loads. The TriStar’s Mobil-style system gives you aftermarket support that the Remington lacks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this shotgun come with a choke tube set?
Yes. The TriStar Cobra III Field Super Compact includes four Beretta/Benelli Mobil-style choke tubes: cylinder, improved cylinder, modified, and full. You can swap them without tools.
Is this shotgun suitable for left-handed shooters?
The Cobra III has a right-handed ejection port and a right-handed safety. Lefties will need to reach over the receiver to operate the safety, but the pump stroke is ambidextrous. It’s not ideal for southpaws but still functional.
What is the overall length of this shotgun?
Overall length is approximately 36 inches with the 18.5″ barrel and fixed stock. That’s compact enough for storage in a vehicle or small safe.
Can I use 2.5″ shells in this gun?
Yes. The chamber is 3″, so it cycles 2.5″ and 3″ .410 shells reliably. Stick to standard pressure loads for best function.
