Frenchy Cannuck Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Howdy Pards and Pardettes, A friend is looking at getting a exposed hammer shotgun. Now here in Canada, we have a ready supply of Baikals, I have also found a "Wyatt Earp" by Pedersoli ( mucho moolla) and did come across a CZ Coach gun ( $$ not so bad ). Anyone know anything about them? Thanks Frenchy for Silverado Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tommy Reb Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hello Frenchy. I had one for awhile. Nice gun, good fit and finish. I only had three issues with mine. First, the hammer springs must have been made from Model T Ford rear axle springs. I thinned them down until OK. Second, the hammers flare out a bit compared to the TTN I had been shooting. Not really a big deal, just takes a little getting use to. And, third, the gun is lighter in weight than I like. I realize that is just a personal preference and would be seen as an advantage to many. I really did like my CZ Coach gun. However, I sold it because I liked the Pioneer Arms Greener even better.

Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I like mine but it needed some work right out of the box. One hammer would stick and not fall. Sent it back under warranty. When I got it back, it happened again. Sent it back and CZ sent me a new gun. Started happening again with second gun. Took it to local gunsmith and he fixed it. Said the wood was rubbing against the hammer spring. Took off some of the wood to give it clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy Cannuck Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hey Chilli Peper Kid, Have you had any other work done to it or was it good pretty well out of the box? Thanks Frenchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Frenchy I'm not a very competitive shooter so it suits me but I should send it off for a action job. Springs are stiff and it takes a good pull to get it open. Hammers are further apart compared to others but I have big enuff hands to sweep the hammers with my thumb. If I was competitive I would get a TTN. However I really like the looks of the CZ.

Noah Cash Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I have CZ and like it quite well. When I first got it it was so stiff that I just about had to break it open over my knee, so i had TL work it over. Much easier to open now and the main springs are leaf rather than coil so there was a bit of tuning needed there as well, thanks TL great job. I just used it again this weekend. The only problem was I gotta REMEMBER TO COCK THE HAMMERS after I fire it. The fit and finish is great, and the wood has real nice grain too.

Cole Younger Requlator Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I have one- love it after Johnny Meadows worked it over. I normally shoot a SKB and I prefer the lightness of the CZ--its about 100 lbs lighter than the TTN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadville Lefty SASS 87631 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I agree out of the box it is tight. I found some hammer springs at VTI. Also I worked a long time to get the hammers lighter. All in all a nicely made gun. If the price is right I would buy it. These guns were going for close to $1,000 a couple of years ago.

Frenchy Cannuck Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 By the time it gets to the door it'll likely be about $925. Thanks for the feed back sounds like it would be a good buy. Frenchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT. ELI 35882 GUNFIGHTER Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Might look for a used Liberty II, same gun as the CZ at half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
