Tall Tale Todd Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Howdy all, I'm trying to decide what cowboy toy I'm going to treat myself to upon my return from deployment and an 1887 shotgun is a prime contender. I understand that Taylor&Co's rifles and pistols are top notch, but does anyone have any experience good or bad with a Taylor's 1887? I can only find reviews of the Terminator Model and that isn't the one I want. Or should I just try and get my hands on a Coyote Cap? Any input is appreciated. -Tall Tale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 The Taylor's 1887 is made by Chiappa and are the best built by far. They are a 1lb heavier than the IAC/Coyote Cap. The IAC(both the standard and Coyote Cap Special edition) are a little cheaper IF you can find one. Both the Chiappa and IAC will likely need some fine tuning by Lassiter or another gunsmith that knows what they are doing. Good Luck. Run, don't walk, away from a PW87 by Century Arms. Thank you for your service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catlow4697 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Be prepared to practice loading your new 1887 . Lots of practice . They look cool when shot by competent shooters. the newbe shooter is just fun to watch I have had. more Unfired shot shells on the ground than fired. I heard a World Champion state that he hopes all of his competitors use 1887's Thankyou for your service welcome home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not allowed to practice loading my ‘97 when she’s home haha. Something about filling the house with noise. I’m not home yet, but thank you for the well wishes.

Well an 87 isn't exactly quiet and you really need to practice some live fire with those; maybe more so than other types. Recoil causes short strokes for me for some reason.

G W Wade Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Are all the Chiappi"s 87"s good. Or are the Taylors models better. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
