TriStar Arms will exhibit at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, taking place April 17–19, 2026, in Houston, TX. Attendees are invited to visit TriStar Arms at Booth #3103 to explore the newest firearm offerings and learn more about the brand's continued commitment to the shooting sports community.

At this year's event, TriStar Arms will highlight several new products for 2026, including the Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock, just in time for spring turkey hunting. Designed with turkey hunters in mind, the Upland Hunter Thumbhole Stock blends classic styling with modern reliability, offering lightweight handling and performance suited for long days in the field. Its over/under configuration allows two different chokes to be used at the same time, giving the shooter the ability to select which barrel to fire from based on distance, using the barrel selector. A tighter choke can be chosen for longer shots, while a more open choke is immediately available for close range opportunities, eliminating the need to change chokes in the field.

TriStar will also showcase new color options for its TriStar KR22 Series. The rimfire rifle is now available in ODG/Black and FDE/Black, giving shooters additional options for both recreational shooting and small game hunting.

Another highlight at the booth will be the TriStar APOC Pro, the newest addition to TriStar's growing pistol lineup. The APOC Pro builds on the success of the original APOC platform introduced last year and features upgrades designed for enhanced performance, ergonomics, and shooter control.

"TriStar Arms has proudly supported the National Rifle Association for many years, and the NRA Annual Meetings remain an important event for our industry and the shooting community," said Ryan Bader, president of TriStar Arms. "It's a great opportunity to connect directly with firearm enthusiasts from across the country and showcase some of the exciting new products we're bringing to market this year. Customer feedback is extremely important to us, and I always enjoy the opportunity to connect directly with shooters and hear their thoughts."

The NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits is one of the largest gatherings of firearm enthusiasts in the United States, bringing together manufacturers, retailers, and Second Amendment supporters for three days of exhibits, seminars, and community engagement.
