Any experience with the new Heritage Coachwhip shotgun?

[Flaco Joe]

I’ve seen adds and watched some YouTube videos on the new Heritage Coachwhip shotgun that is a double barrel with exposed hammers. It looks taylor-made for CAS. Has anyone handled one yet? From what I see, they are retailing for about $830 but no one has one in stock.

Just watched a video on it. looks pretty nice and less expensive than some of the other hammer coaches out there.

Ky gun company has them in stock for 760

How bad is it on the action to let both barrels go at the same time?

Since it's a New Kid on the Block, and nobody has one, and no one has shot one for any length of time, How, pray tell would anybody know??  Seems a silly question.

Usually nothing if the gun is in good condition, of recent manufacture and not a regular occurrence.  A friend found an old Stevens double in his attic when he moved in to his last house.  He had it worked on/cleaned up by a retired Stevens smith.  He fired it for a bit, and every so often both barrels would go off at the same time.  He made it a wall hanger as he didn't want to spend any more money on fixing it.

There's only silly answers.

The sentence in bold is the only question that Flaco Joe asked. Doesn't seem silly at all, and sounds pretty straight forward.

No such thing as a “silly“ question.  But there are too many “silly” answers like a politician’s salad answer to a simple question.

Okay, so I was able to get one in my paws at a local gun shop the other day. Honestly, if I'd brought more money along, I'd have left with it.  Action was very smooth, barrels dropped right open, safety was completely independent of any cocking or firing action, the hammers were very light and easy to cock one handed with what I call the "reverse karate chop",  and the finish was surprisingly well done. In my opinion, it did not feel nor operate anywhere near what popped into my head when I heard "heritage hammered double", which frankly evinced ideas of the type of fit and finish you've all seen in the rough rider, which, let's be honest feel cheap, clunky, and rough.  I plan on picking one up and getting the usual cowboy action job done on it, and put it through the field test. I wish the hammer ears were a tad longer, but if that's the worst it offers, I think it'll find a home for a lot of price conscious cowboys. Hope that helps outc anyone looking!

Like I said, I was very pleasantly surprised.

Heritage is becoming Taurus's Cowboy Gun Division. 

Hence the ( Rossi ) Heritage 92 rifle that everyone thinks is a new gun on the market. 

Taurus has owned Rossi for many years now .

They are just moving brands around. 

A good Marketing Strategy at this time .

With all the new Tariffs that are coming Heritage is a USA company in Florida that Taurus owns .

So I swung back in and picked this gal up. It's in the single digits here in Indiana (in Midwest terms this means button up your vest, but not quite big coat weather), but if I get a little time between work and trying to catch up on bullet orders I'll go put her through her paces box stock, and then see about getting her slicked up and do it again.

I'll be wanting to have a look at that at the Pass pilgrim.

I'll be bringing her up, I reckon Flush Draw can work his magic on her.  I did a little dry fire with dummies in the shop last night, and she conducted herself pretty well right outta the box.

Just picked one up; 

*Made by Khan/Kayhan in Turkey

*Metal to wood fit is serviceable, (for the price point.)

*Action is smooth opening/closing

*Triggers feel a little gummy

*Rebounding hammers

*No half cock

*Fixed chokes

*Checkering is comfortable and matches your worn Grandpa's shotgun

**Can pull both triggers at the same time

[watab kid]

hmmm , think its worth checkin out , my stohger was made there too i think , 

[Whitey James]

Turkey had been making some really quality guns for years. I would not hesitate to buy a firearm manufactured there. I'd prefer it to China any day.

[Dapper Dave]

Turkey has been making guns since before we were a country. They have some experience.
