Explore Pedersoli™ Coach Gun - 12 Gauge Percussion - S.651.012 Gift Ready [UmD68WjO]

The Pedersoli™ Coach Gun is a classic reproduction of the side-by-side shotguns used during the Civil War. During the American Civil War of the mid 1800's, Confederate troops used many standardized ordnance guns, including many sourced from European countries. Among the guns used to equip the Cavalry regiments were traditional hunting side-by-side shotguns, these shotguns featured shortened barrels to be handier while  mounted on horseback. These shotguns gave the Cavalry regiments a notable advantage in the close range combat. During this period many of these shortened shotguns featured both main spring locks and the back action locks. Their popularity in fact, induced many gunsmiths to produce guns with shortened barrels and a single trigger mechanism.
