Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Whoever is taping doesn't know how to do it. Lots of jumping around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 What, I might ask, does criticism of the taping have to do with the Shotgun?? The Shotgun is the Star, not the tape. Sheesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sloe Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I've got one in the safe. Hammers are a little wide (especially when compared to a TTN). Other than that it's a beautiful shotgun. BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 I think son John does the camera work. Maybe this one was done by someone else? Hickok45 is pretty unique in that he shoots the video in one continuous shot, normally. Only a couple of times have they cut and come back. No anointing rollups. No background sound. They upped their game a few years back and got better camera and sound equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I think the video is fine, love Hickocks videos. He sure had fun with this shotgun !! $1700 though?? No thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I got mine a good while back. They are the finest made Hammer Doubles out there. Expensive yes, but well worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawhorse Kid Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Basic structure of that gun looks identical to the Pietta 1878. Don't particularly care for the toe in hammers. Same parent company perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Sawhorse, Funny you should mention that. I also picked up one of the FIRST Pietta guns. Looked so close to my Pedersoli and took 'em both apart. Identical. ALL the parts interchange. Don't know if that's still the case, but I was certain Pedersoli was making guns for Pietta although Pietta says otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Rye!! You're so right. Back then I was able to score mine on sale from Dixie. $1275. That was a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Jake Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 So you guys that have one: does yours also require you to "work the lever" to close it? I'm wondering if Hickok's gun had something wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Jake, Nope. Both the Pedersoli and the Pietta close up just lake any other Double. Suspect Hickok was just being "kind" to his loaner. Also, as an aside, My gun DID NOT have a mat finish on the barrels and I believe it to be Hard Chrome as well. The bores are also chrome lined. Really superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee River Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Beautiful hammered Coach gun, but that TANG SAFETY - UGH!!!! It's still beyond me why gun manufacturers continue to bow to the senseless requirements of their legal department. Someday we'll probably see tang safeties on single action revolvers. Still love my Rossi Overland Coach - no useless extra parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy City Kid Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 So the Cimarron 1878 12g 20" is a grand less? Pay $1k for the name on it? Am I missing something? A little more cleaned up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sloe Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Windy - are you going to be at the New Years Eve shoot (starts at 10am)? If you are I'll bring mine down so that you can see it in person. BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Perhaps Abilene will have more up to date information from Cimarron, but the Chinese made 1878 replica hasn't been available for several years. Rumors abound. WINDY CITY Yep. You're missing a lot. Quality wise there is absolutely no comparison between the Chinese '78 and the Pedersoli or the Pietta. The TTN/Cimarron is in fact quite functional and is great value for dollar. If you happen to prefer FINE guns however, no Ceegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
