Description
Left-handed hunters know the drill. Most semi-auto shotguns treat you like an afterthought, tossing hulls across your face and putting the safety on the wrong side. The TriStar Viper G2 LH fixes that with a genuine left-hand build, so ejection and controls are where they should be. Underneath, it runs the same gas-operated action that made the Viper G2 line popular in the first place, soaking up recoil and cycling everything from light 2 3/4" target loads up to stout 3" magnum waterfowl shells without complaint.
Why the Viper G2 LH Earns Its Spot in the Blind
The 28" barrel is chrome-lined for corrosion resistance and easy cleanup, topped with a vent rib, matted sight plane, and a fiber optic front sight that grabs your eye fast in low light. TriStar threads the muzzle for Beretta/Benelli Mobil chokes and includes improved cylinder, modified, and full tubes with a wrench and choke box, which covers you from close flushes over a pointer to long passing shots on geese. The E-Z Load magazine cut-off is a handy touch too, letting you swap the shell in the chamber without emptying the magazine when a different bird presents itself.
Built for Wet Mornings and Long Walks
The black synthetic stock and forend wear TriStar's Soft Touch finish, which gives you a grippy, comfortable hold even with cold or wet hands. A rubber recoil pad takes the sting out of heavy loads, and factory swivel studs mean you can throw on a sling for the hike in. At around 6.8 pounds, it carries easily all day without feeling whippy on crossing targets.
Everything You Need Out of the Box
With a 5+1 capacity, an included shot plug for migratory bird hunting, and quick plug removal when you don't need it, this Viper G2 is ready for ducks, doves, pheasants, or a casual round of sporting clays the day you bring it home. For lefties who've been making do with right-handed guns, this one is worth a serious look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TriStar Viper G2 LH a true left-handed shotgun?
Yes, this is a dedicated left-hand model, not just a right-handed gun with a reversed safety. Ejection is set up on the left side, so spent hulls kick away from your face instead of across your line of sight. For left-eye-dominant and left-handed hunters, it makes a noticeable difference in comfort and follow-up shots.
What loads will the Viper G2 cycle reliably?
The gas-operated action is designed to handle everything from light 2 3/4" target loads to heavy 3" magnum waterfowl shells. Like most gas guns, it may want a short break-in period with heavier loads before it settles in with the lightest stuff. Once broken in, it's a versatile gun for clays, upland birds, and the duck blind.
What choke tubes fit the Viper G2 LH?
The barrel is threaded for Beretta/Benelli Mobil-style choke tubes, one of the most common patterns out there, so aftermarket options are easy to find. Improved cylinder, modified, and full tubes come in the box along with a wrench and storage case, covering most hunting and clays situations right away.
Does the TriStar Viper G2 come with a shot plug for waterfowl hunting?
It does. A magazine plug is included to limit capacity for migratory bird hunting, and TriStar designed it for quick removal when you want the full 5+1 capacity. The E-Z Load magazine cut-off is another nice feature, letting you swap the chambered shell without running the magazine dry.
