TRISTAR RAPTOR II YOUTH 20GA – 3″ 24″ BLUED WALNUT

Youth shotgunners in Antioch and across the Bay Area benefit from scaled platforms built for smaller frames. The TriStar Raptor II Youth delivers a 24-inch barrel, 5+1 capacity, and semi-auto reliability in 20 gauge—letting younger shooters develop fundamentals without excessive recoil. Before your purchase, review California firearm laws to ensure compliance with age and possession requirements.

Semi-Auto Action and Ergonomic Fit

The gas-operated semi-auto system cycles 20-gauge shells smoothly while managing recoil energy—critical for youth development and comfort during extended practice. The crossbolt safety positions naturally for young hands, and the 37.25-inch overall length keeps proportions manageable. Fiber optic sights aid target acquisition in varied lighting. Like any firearm purchase in California, understanding regulations around PC §32100 exempt revolvers helps clarify which firearms fall outside certain restrictions. Browse our gun store.
