TacStar Shotgun Accessories

About TacStar

TacStar has been a recognized leader in tactical accessories, specifically enhancing shotgun capabilities for law enforcement, military, and civilian markets.

The company joined Lyman Products Corp. in 1997 to improve the company's offering to the tactical and law enforcement markets.

Lyman President Mace Thompson felt TacStar was an ideal complement to the newly acquired Pachmayr brand, creating a comprehensive tactical accessories division.

TacStar became known for innovative accessory solutions that enhance shotgun performance without requiring permanent firearm modifications.

Today, the brand continues to provide professional-grade tactical accessories that meet law enforcement and military standards while serving civilian tactical enthusiasts.
