Coach gun

[res308]

Couldn't seem to find anything in a search. Anyone have much experience with any of the side by side coach guns in 12 gauge?

I'm thinking about one for general all-around use.

I own two. A Cimarron 1878 Hammer double triggers and a Stoeger Supreme single trigger non exposed hammers. The Cimarron is more fun for me shooting SASS.

Don't know about them myself, long time ago, I use to want one, but I do have several double barrels in the 28" length.  A quick search on GB, shows many:

I have a Rossi lupara that I have had for decades.  Love to take it walking through the woods. One of my favorites.

I have a Rossi Overland that you would have to pry from my cold dead fingers. It has been in the family since the early seventies, and it will continue to be passed on as an heirloom. It has served as primary HD since it came to the family, and it still serves that purpose today. 

 

I know that there are 'better' guns for a given purpose, but there are few things that ooze awesomeness the way double triggers and exposed hammers do on a handy little shotgun.

 

 

 

If you want one, you want one, and the want will outweigh the cons, but there are cons. It can be slow to reload, it only holds two rounds, and it will kick like a mule. However, they point naturally, are easy to reload, easy to fire, easy to carry around through nearly anything and are generally rather fondly thought of.

 

While the Rossi may be considered on the lower end of the price scale, good luck finding one, and if you do, snap it up. Those of us that have them aren't really keen on the idea of coming up off of them.

If 2 rounds are good, 6 are better, and 20 is the best.

That said, double barrels are cool, just not for me.

One here, good price

Overlands are nice. Wouldn't trade mine. Load'er up with 3" magnums and let the fun begin.
