Detailed Features
The 28-inch barrel balances handling in tight cover against effective range on flushing birds.

Top tang safety is right under your thumb and doesn't require a grip shift to operate.

The Bristol fits naturally into upland hunting where a light, trim gun matters: pheasant, quail, or clay targets. It works for newer shooters who want a manageable 28 gauge, and for experienced hunters who just want something straightforward in the field.

What Reviewers Say
Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.
As you can see this is a sidebyside shotgun with just some of the prettiest wood I've seen in a long time.
What we tried to do here with the Bristol is give you an Italian looking Italian working gun at at a far less price.
Fun gun to shoot uh beautiful looking uh fit and finish is fantastic on this gun.
Out on the range the gun's rubber recoil pad soaked up a noticeable amount of the recoil particularly that generated by three inch loads.
The single selective trigger meanwhile exhibited decent pull and quick reset.
Customers Say
AI-generated insights derived from customer reviews and discussions on popular gun-enthusiast forums.
Users generally like the Bristol for what it is: a light, affordable side-by-side in 28 gauge. The walnut stock gets consistent praise for its looks, and most owners find the field performance solid for small game and clay shooting. Handling comes up often. At 5.24 lbs. it's easy to carry all day.
Affordability is a recurring theme. Buyers feel they're getting a real wood-stocked SxS at a price that doesn't hurt, and most think the value holds up.
A portion of owners mention fit-and-finish inconsistencies, things like minor gaps or surfaces that benefit from a little touch-up out of the box. Recoil is noticeable in a 28-gauge gun this light, which surprises some first-time owners. Customer service experiences with TriStar are mixed; some report smooth support, others have had trouble getting parts or responses.
Overall tone is positive. Most buyers treat it as a capable entry-level SxS and aren't disappointed.
