Frequently asked questions

Does the Matrix Inertia handle 2.75-inch ammunition?

The Matrix Inertia is rated for 3-inch loads. While some inertia guns cycle 2.75-inch shells, manufacturer specifications list 3-inch as the standard chamber. Check your manual or contact TriStar for definitive guidance on shorter shells.

Can I swap the included chokes during a hunting trip?

Yes. The Full, Improved Cylinder, and Modified chokes allow pattern adjustments for different ranges and target sizes. Standard tools or a choke wrench make field changes simple—keep spares in your vest or pack.

What is an FFL transfer in California?

An FFL transfer is when a federally-licensed dealer like TacticCAL receives a firearm shipped from another seller and processes California's required DROS paperwork to legally transfer it to you. Looking for FFL dealer Los Gatos? Visit us in Sunnyvale.
