Scores of thousands of these sidehammer scatterguns were a mainstay to settlers, miners, ranchers, gunfighters, and virtually anyone who needed a weapon. In times of civil unrest, many lawmen considered the scattergun as the best town tamer and express companies especially realized the value of these smoothbores and armed their messengers with them. They each knew the threat of scattered shot from a shotgun's blast had a greater chance of dissuading an unruly crowd or a road agent, than would the single projectile from a rifle or pistol. Cimarron's 1878 Coach Gun, inspired by an original in our collection, is available in either the full-length 26-inch barrel, or the 20-inch barreled model, both capable of handling 3-inch shotshells, with the traditional exposed sidehammers, a pistol grip stock and schnabble forearm, blued barrels and a color case hardened receiver. When you ride shotgun, ride with a Cimarron 1878 Coach Gun. Shop with KYGUNCO for the best selection, competitive pricing, and exceptional customer service. Experience the difference that comes with buying from a trusted outdoor retailer with over 20 years of experience in the industry. ### SPECIFICATIONS - Caliber/Gauge 12 GA - Barrel Length 20 - Stock Description Walnut - Finish Blued ** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

I have read some people were having sticking ammo issues with some types of ammo. I’ve put couple hundred rounds through this shotgun with several types of ammo and have not had one problem with any hulls sticking in the chambers so this issue is most likely resolved. There is no manual safety on this shotgun like most other double barrels made these days. The quality is good and it works like it is supposed to. Very fun gun to shoot, everyone that sees it wants to shoot it. 3 months ago ** ** ** ** ** ## Don't Forget Your Ammo ```json
