  • Wyatt Earp was famous for establishing the law in Tombstone, Arizona. He used a variety of weapons, but one of which is just an all around great self defense weapon: the Coach Gun.
    In the Movie Tombstone, and in real life, Virgil Earp grabs a double barrel shotgun from the Wells Fargo nearby to deal with outlaws at the OK Corral. Doc Holiday is given the shotgun and only fired from one barrel before drawing his revolver. Wyatt and Virgil also used a double barrel for protection services when riding on a coach while sending express packages since Wells Fargo was short on people for the task. Wyatt supposedly used a double barrel shotgun to take out “Curly Bill” at a watering hole.
    The shotgun in the video is a Pedersoli 12ga Double Barrel Shotgun with Wyatt Earp on the side of it. It is a reproduction of the classic “coach gun”.

    I was told Wyatt Earp was known for stashing shotguns all over town. If he was going after you he carried a shotgun. True or not?

    I kept a 12 gauge coach gun yrs ago for home defense. I sold it later and like most guns I have sold, I regret it.

    My grandpa had one of these from Belgium with damascened nails barrel. It was his dads he brought over. He was header butler to Prince Albert! After he died it suddenly disappeared. Nice things got evenly distributed in the family. It sat in the basement for decades. Used to play with it as a kid. I enjoy doubles. SxS just has something to it. Easy to aim fast. One of those cut down would be absolutely brutal up close...

    Power, utility, ease of use. Yes, these coach guns make perfect sense. Thanks again!

    Question: Hickok45 said that the lever had to be operated both to open and to close the breach after reloading. Did you experience that? Thanks...

      Yes! However, the Cimarron coach gun I just got does not require that.
