I took her yesterday to McMiller... I put maybe 20 rds of #6 2.75" shells and a few #7.5 through her and three rifled slugs at 100yd range. The Tristar is different sounding. Can't really tell you what to compare it too, but it has a distinctive sound.
The manual says not to run "Heavy" loads in pump mode, and that their might be issues with "Light" loads in semi-automatic. I am a noobie shotgun gun guy, and I found no definition of Light and Heavy loads in the manual. I am assuming it means 3" shells for Heavy loads, and maybe like 7.5/8 for 2.75" shells? In any case, I only had 2.75" with me. It worked fine in semi-auto just fine for all the birdshot, and I didn't try the slugs in pump mode.
The sights were dead on. It's harder to follow through with clays with it. But I really am liking the sights. Last point, you really need to clean this before taking it out, as it comes with a heavy coating of oil. It seems reasonably well made. I do like the option of semi-auto or pump.
And Ryan, if you'd like to try out the Tristar Tec12, we can arrange a range time to do so.
