Someone once described this to me as a hobby. No. This is a God given right enumerated in our constitution. I am a veteran and this right means a great deal to me and should to everyone.
You are so lucky to live where you do, plenty of places to shoot, and easy availability of firearms. You need to defend and protect these things, they are always under attack.
Thanks for the review on this weapon. Oftentimes, side-by-side 20ga are overlooked by many. It appears 12ga is most sought after. Fine by me, as my double barrel is an old 20ga that is easy enough on my 70+ body, yet potent enough for anything that isn't wanted on my place in the woods. My preferred choice in shotguns. 👍
Neat looking shotgun. As a kid 50 years ago in Fort Worth, Texas I had 7 Horned Toads as "pets" at one time, they were all in our backyard, haven't seen one in many years.
I think its funny to hear just about every short double called a coach gun. The fellow I bought my 100 year + Stevens called the guns he colllected barn guns. So my short double is a bern shotgun. Ain't pretty, but probably got a lot of crows, rats and rabbits on some farm.
Good video. For the price of this shotgun I would not expect those finishing issues. They should have sold it as a blemished piece without having to ask for the discount.
Not to say this is a bad gun or anything, but at the price charged, the fit and finish, etc, I probably woulda gone with a Stoeger Uplander or Coach if they weren't such a pain to find right now. I got lucky and managed to pick up a Stoeger 12 and Rossi 20 GA coach gun pair at Rt 66 in Barstow
I got a 12ga stoger coach gun. The deluxe duel trigger with stainless receiver and blued barrels with choke tubes.Very good looking. Fun as heck. Wanted a coach gun for a while. They just look cool. Lol I think the stoger is the best quality and value for what they cost. I heard the 12 and 20 gauge recoil were extremely close so I went 12ga for more ammo selections
When I was a kid (55 some odd years ago) my father and I would go down in those old gold and silver mines in Nevada, Northern California and Arizona… I look back now and wonder “what the hell were we thinking” but at 10-15 years old, it was a hoot. Sweet looking Shotgun and for me… they could leave that barrel selector off. Great video sir.
When I think back to when I was a kid, I am always shocked at the things we were allowed to get up to. It is only when you have kids of your own you realise how lucky you were to not get hurt. I'm a 62 yo Grandad now, thank God!
Mixup, all you need is a stagecoach. You are dressed for action. And Son, thanks for the pic of the horned toad. My favorite native lizard and I haven't seen one in years.
I have an old Steven's 311 side by side 12. Cheap wood. Birch probably. Had 28" barrel now 18.5. Love this old shotgun she shoots good. She can clear a doorway fast.
The selector problem is common, more so with inexpensive side by side shotguns than over and under. I usually decide which barrel I want to fire first, configure my chokes to that parameter, and then put a touch of glue to hold the selector.
I am thinking of also configuring my chokes and then pinning the selector switch so it will fire the right barrel first. Glue sounds like a good solution too.
I enjoyed, as always, your video covering this shotgun. But I would rather have one in blue or black chrome, with a "classic" fore and aft safety, auto ejectors, and either a gold bead or rifle style front sight (I'm NOT a fan of fiber optic sights on any firearm for personal and professional reasons). What would really trip my trigger, so to speak, would be if the shotgun came with two each of the screw in chokes and/or rifled slug barrels as a package.
What an awesome video mixup. You and your son are doing great for the global TH-cam community, the gunlovers basically. Keep posting to keep us all entertained 🎉
Good to see the Horny Toads hanging around. Here in Texas they were almost wiped out by the fire ants killing all the Harvester ants, their main food source. Beautiful area y'all live in, enjoyed the video.
Mixup98 n son, are you that class of shooters that run a patch through the barrels b4 u put a round thru it? Or just unbox n shoot? They claim if theres excessive oil in the barrel, and u shoot it b4 patching it out, u can bulge the barrel. What say u?? And thank you
hey cowpokes and old timers. Did coachguns ever have mounts for sling swivels? I think I saw one of the old chinese clones come with one. Just wondering how you guys carry them with slings.
As always, good stuff! I live in AZ, but the areas to go and shoot are so limited now with so much development compared to NV. Loved the Horney Toad. I have only seen one of those in the 44 years I have lived here. You have to love nature! I'm glad you guys respect it.
@@DioxXiDeONPS3 I shoot a lot of my videos southeast of Las Vegas, down around the small towns of Nelson and Searchlight. Nelson is about 40 miles out of Vegas. I've never been to BRPC but I hope to make it out there someday.
damn you guys live in a pretty awesome area - I was so focused on everything else I almost forgot this was a gun review video lol awesome video, keep it up!
Heck yeah, here in Nevada we live close to Lake Mead, the Colorado River, Hoover Dam, old mining camps, ghost towns and gold and silver mines. We can come across rattlesnakes, coyotes, mountain lions, lizards, quail, deer, bighorn sheep, gila monsters and tarantulas. We also have millions of acres of public land where we can shoot, hunt and explore. I don't think I would live anywhere else.
Years and years ago I had a Garcia 20 gauge double barrel shotgun. I believe it was made in Spain. I have searched long and far trying to find one just like it to no avail 😂
never have cared for tang safeties on shotguns i've always preferred the trigger guard ones! personally i see no need for the selector on that i'd rather have double triggers myself!!
That horny toad head close up picture is excellent! Like the overall look of the shotgun. Don't care for the selector switch so much. Any day blasting stuff is a good one!
I just searched to see who manufactures the Citadel double. Several sources state the Philippines. (?) Also, since I would be using two most open chokes I would "carefully" apply some JB Weld with a tooth pick to the selector.
Thanks for another great video mixup. I live in Michigan so seeing the different terrain of southern Nevada along with the mine exploration is just another bonus. Thank you for your wholesome quality content!
Idea: will a coach gun digest mini shells? Much easier on the middle finger and shoulder if they do. That cod really be fun for you to do your trick shooting!
The handle had broken off the 5 gallon water bottle which is why it scarified itself for my video. The watermelon was a little mushy and had to be destroyed 👍😁
Father and son bonding is what I admire the most . The camera angles & photography is awesome. Thanks for making your videos. You guys are fun and entertaining to watch :) man I want a coach shotgun now! :)
Good morning Troy. We love making these videos together and we are glad to hear that you enjoy them. I'm headed out with my son this morning to shoot another video and do some exploring and the video should be posted this weekend. Thank you for the very nice comment.
Good morning from beautiful No. NV! I get out once in awhile to Reno gun shops. Do you mind letting me know where you found that little gem? Looks like a lot of fun!
I found this little beauty at a gun shop in Ely, Nevada. I can't name the store due to youtube restrictions but it is the only family-owned sporting goods store in town.
Good looking piece there, shame on the QC of the finish, but it is gonna show some age with a fun shooter. Looks like a bit less kick than my Stoger Coach, again mines 12 ga.... love it
Hello Phill. As you probably know I own three coach guns (Citadel, Stoeger, Rossi) and yes, there will be a "battle of the coach guns" video in the near future. 👍😎
Hello Sir, mixup98 & Son. I love watching you two having a blast together. And who doesn't like a shotgun plinking video. Thank you both and have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!! Stay Blessed Firends!
The only thing I hate about a nickel finish is that it wears off and starts to chip off pretty quick. It'll start chipping anywhere metal rubs against metal.
Unfortunately, Turkish-made long guns can be a hit or miss. I personally won't buy one for that reason, but their handguns seem pretty solid. I bought a Turkish-made TISAS Service Special in .45 ACP, and the fit and finish is pretty damn good. That being said, I haven't broken it down to clean it first before I hit the range, which will be the first thing I do, so I'll be able to see the inside of it properly. But I doubt there will be any defects. Got it brand new for $349. I highly recommend taking a look at TISAS (also known as "SDS Imports"). In regards to LSI: I have an LSI Puma M92 in .454 Casull that a buddy gave me back in the mid-2000s. It's got a 16" barrel and stainless steel with fiber optic sights. I love it, but I haven't shot it in years. The front sight needs to be pinned back into place, or maybe I'll just use some JB Weld. It's finicky with loads above 260 grains, but you can fit 300 grainers in there if you angle the gun right when you cock the lever. Great fireball too! And this one was made in South America (Brazil?), not Turkey. How are the temps there in Nevada? Here in Oregon we're just coming out of a week-long heat wave in the low-100s. One more day of this shit and then it's back to 90s and 80s, praise be. Not fun only having one 6,0000 BTU A/C in the window when there's no insulation either lol. Anyways, love the videos! Take care!
It looks like the Heritage Manufacturing Coach shotgun ( Turkish) at $ 880. rather expensive. I looked at the Heritage today, didn't see this Nickel finished Model must only be offered at Citadel. Heritage safety is in the same place but goes forward and backwards I like it better. Other than that IT'S THE SAME DAMN SHOTGUN. GUN BROKERS HAD THE HERITAGE LIST AT $ 650 ish
Over the years I've been eyeballin' the various Stoeger side-by-side coach guns offered for sale on the racks of my local gun shops, but have been too busy collecting certain Marlin lever action rifles and carbines. And Ruger flat top Blackhawk single-action whirlinpoppers. And 1911s. And scouty-type .308 bolt guns. I even went the low-dollar, labor-intensive route of chopping an old H&R single shot break action 12ga to 20" and reinstalled the original brass bead. That's a neat piece but at less than 6 lbs it kicks like the proverbial mule. Fast forward to just earlier this year and in a new shop run by a friend's son there were on the wall two new Stoeger Coach Gun Supreme. These use AA grade walnut, a gloss clear finish, in blue or nickel, double trigger, hammerless, 20" barrels, screw-in chokes and a rubber recoil pad screwed onto the butt. The blued shotgun is now mine but doing time in California's Ten Day Jail. Thanks to the SASS crowd, it's gunsmiths, the internet and to TH-cam, I am now aware of these guns' minor flaws and their fixes. By the time I may take possession, I'll have the parts and the knowhow to tune it up to run reliably and with a decent trigger pull. I am excited to put it mildly. Finally! after 15 years of "I sure want one of those" to "pick up day can't get here soon enough!". Thanks for your video. It's been fun. See you around at some point because I too shoot where I can anywhere in the beautiful Mojave.
I had a single trigger.Coach gun from stoger couldn't pay me to keep it.Would fire when closing barrels to receiver?Send it back twice finally.I said this firearm is a liability.That's when I got action and got my money back.We'll never own a stoger product
Hi guys. To the uninitiated, what’s a choke and what is it used for. Also, what’s the difference between a slug and a regular shotgun shell. Thanks. 🙋♂️👏👏🇬🇧
Love your videos. Nice little 20 gauge side by side... Doesn't have a lot of character, and would be better with double triggers, but it seems like a decent value and a load of fun.
I have a Stoeger 20 ga satin nickel finish side-by-side. Great fun sweet shooting shotgun. Folks need to look at 20 gauge shotgun because they are so much fun !!
Came to you guys chanell for the new 10/22 review. Not that i want another one , unless walmart sells some more 22 inch stainless ones , i loaned mine out and "it got stolen" . The 1 i have now is the 4th , a full stock , manlicher typ stock . shoots very well . My coach gun started life as a stevens double field gun , not pretty but her and me have spent more time together than me and the wife . She aint pretty either . 2 days ago 2 grizzlles mopped past the kitchen window. turned right and preabulated past the front door . i live in Montana . right next to the mountains . That old double 12 shoots better than your 20 does . i have kept this old double close for many years . Either that or the S. Blk. Hwk. with my hand loads , 300 gr.cast with a great golup of h110 and a fed mag cap . This side arm thinks it is a young carbine. Wont tell you how well it shoots. When a person calls me a lier it rasis my irer . Anyway , like you and your Son. Gary

Who doesn't need a new, Nickle-plated, double barrel, 20 gauge shotgun!
LOL!!! Not sure if serious! 😊
NO one !!
nickel no blued with double triggers another subject!!

This guy never purchases a gun. He just "picks them up". Absolute legend.
He says he bought it in a gun shop in Northern Nevada at the beginning.
Neat looking shotgun. As a kid 50 years ago in Fort Worth, Texas I had 7 Horned Toads as "pets" at one time, they were all in our backyard, haven't seen one in many years.
I also had horned toads as pets and I loved watching them eat ants!
We played with them as kids. We called them horny toads.
Those horny toads can shoot blood from a little gland behind their eyes.

Always enjoy your videos. For the guns and for just watching you two happy souls doing what you enjoy together.
My son and I enjoy making these videos and we love reading comments like yours. Thank you William and have a great Memorial Day.
I've got the stoger sxs. That safety switch alone would turn me off. But i do love your channel!
I loved my coach gun.
That was an awesome pic your son took
I will pass on your compliment to my son and thank you for watching our video.
I think its funny to hear just about every short double called a coach gun. The fellow I bought my 100 year + Stevens called the guns he colllected barn guns. So my short double is a bern shotgun. Ain't pretty, but probably got a lot of crows, rats and rabbits on some farm.
Sir, you are responsible for the emptying of my wallet with every video you upload!
Looks like a fun gun!
Don’t bother emptying your wallet with this one trust me it’s a piece of hot garbage
Good video. For the price of this shotgun I would not expect those finishing issues. They should have sold it as a blemished piece without having to ask for the discount.
While 20ga may not be as powerful as 12ga, it's still got slugs that are more than capable of handling anything in the USA.
So the safety switch selects which barrel is fired first. Gives new meaning to the term safety first. 😁
Imagine if a saftey could switch from safe to semi to full. Youd probably have to still disengage the safety first though
That's very normal, particularly on higher end doubles.
Not to say this is a bad gun or anything, but at the price charged, the fit and finish, etc, I probably woulda gone with a Stoeger Uplander or Coach if they weren't such a pain to find right now. I got lucky and managed to pick up a Stoeger 12 and Rossi 20 GA coach gun pair at Rt 66 in Barstow
I got a 12ga stoger coach gun. The deluxe duel trigger with stainless receiver and blued barrels with choke tubes.Very good looking. Fun as heck. Wanted a coach gun for a while. They just look cool. Lol I think the stoger is the best quality and value for what they cost. I heard the 12 and 20 gauge recoil were extremely close so I went 12ga for more ammo selections
Me too stoger shit gun is way nicer. 2 trigger so if you want fire both same time. No scratches, safety that works

Mine is an old Stevens 225 some farmer chopped back to 19". Rabbit ears. Love that thing.
$600 for a Turkish shotgun? No auto eject? Bidenomics?

Very nice. That reminds me of my Stoeger sxs i used in cowboy action shooting 20 years ago.
I have a blued Stoeger 20g coach gun, 2 trigger..I really like it also.

Hello Kent. My Citadel shotgun is marked "Made in Turkey" 👍😎
Could you take it apart and might tighten it..or fix it
They're making some nice stuff in Turkey now.
Awesome video nice double barrel shotgun thanks for sharing mixup98 and son
Good, enjoyable video (as always) but not so impressed with today's gun. I think I can live without it.
Fair enough and thanks for watching our video 😎😎
Wonder if that’s the same as a stoeger coach gun… both made in Turkey… I always mention flaws on new guns too, I’ve gotten some good deals that way😊
The nickel finish looks good. I have the blued version of this in 12ga. I haven’t shot it yet but looking forward to it.
Thanks for another great video mixup. I live in Michigan so seeing the different terrain of southern Nevada along with the mine exploration is just another bonus. Thank you for your wholesome quality content!

Idea: will a coach gun digest mini shells? Much easier on the middle finger and shoulder if they do. That cod really be fun for you to do your trick shooting!
I just ordered a bunch of mini shells and I will be doing another video where I shoot some of them through a coach gun. Should be lots of fun.
I have an affinity for 5 gallon water bottles, yams and watermelon! You have destroyed some of my favorite things today! 😟 Nice shotgun though!

You are very welcome and please tell your son that we said "hello".
Blessed Memorial Day weekend 🙏

That be called a "fun gun" Pa!
Put the barrel select on right barrel first and put a drop of superglue in the crack to secure it.
👍🤠
Love your videos - greetings from South Africa
I don’t know why you would need anything more than a 20 gauge. It’s definitely a hammer!!! Cool video! 👍
Because 12 gauge is "11" on the volume nob. Sometimes 10's just not enough.
SS=Stainless steel?
According to the Citadel website the steel is nickel plated. The SS stands for "side by side"
Got a stoeger in nickel
Thanks for taking us along on your desert outing. Nice looking coach gun.
Hello Sir, mixup98 & Son. I love watching you two having a blast together. And who doesn't like a shotgun plinking video. Thank you both and have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!! Stay Blessed Firends!

Sweet shottie!
The only thing I hate about a nickel finish is that it wears off and starts to chip off pretty quick. It'll start chipping anywhere metal rubs against metal.

Finally! after 15 years of "I sure want one of those" to "pick up day can't get here soon enough!". Thanks for your video. It's been fun. See you around at some point because I too shoot where I can anywhere in the beautiful Mojave.
Good shit
👍😎😁👌
What a beautiful find Mixup98 ! I always like to browse old gun shops and pawn stores because that's where you find these hidden gems.
The only useful video on this gun. Thanks.
You're welcome and thank you for the feedback on my video.
I had a single trigger.Coach gun from stoger couldn't pay me to keep it.Would fire when closing barrels to receiver?Send it back twice finally.I said this firearm is a liability.That's when I got action and got my money back.We'll never own a stoger product
Well Done ! Thank you.
Looks like a nice fun gun to shoot. Enjoyed that! 🤠
Hi guys. To the uninitiated, what’s a choke and what is it used for. Also, what’s the difference between a slug and a regular shotgun shell. Thanks. 🙋♂️👏👏🇬🇧
Love your videos. Nice little 20 gauge side by side... Doesn't have a lot of character, and would be better with double triggers, but it seems like a decent value and a load of fun.
Could you do a video on the Ruger mark series .22 pistols? I know you showed them with ammo tests but they need their own video.
My son owns a Mark 1 and I have a Mark II and I like your suggestion. Perhaps we will do a video in the near future.
boomstick😎
I wonder if that is an H&R copy? I have an old H&R that belonged to my grandad and there's a lot of similarities. Maybe a New England Firearms copy?
Sweet 👍👍
Single triggers are an abomination on a side x side!!
I tend to agree with you after shooting my Citadel.
I have a Stoeger 20 ga satin nickel finish side-by-side. Great fun sweet shooting shotgun. Folks need to look at 20 gauge shotgun because they are so much fun !!
Came to you guys chanell for the new 10/22 review. Not that i want another one , unless walmart sells some more 22 inch stainless ones , i loaned mine out and "it got stolen" . The 1 i have now is the 4th , a full stock , manlicher typ stock . shoots very well . My coach gun started life as a stevens double field gun , not pretty but her and me have spent more time together than me and the wife . She aint pretty either . 2 days ago 2 grizzlles mopped past the kitchen window. turned right and preabulated past the front door . i live in Montana . right next to the mountains . That old double 12 shoots better than your 20 does . i have kept this old double close for many years . Either that or the S. Blk. Hwk. with my hand loads , 300 gr.cast with a great golup of h110 and a fed mag cap . This side arm thinks it is a young carbine. Wont tell you how well it shoots. When a person calls me a lier it rasis my irer . Anyway , like you and your Son. Gary
Citadel shotguns are cheap crap. Suck it up, save another couple hundred and get something that won't break before you reach 100 rounds.
