It seems that our fascination with the Old West will never die. That’s okay by me. It was an exciting time and a fun one to look back on if you’re a gun buff. Heritage Manufacturing knows that there are plenty of us out here who love the era, and they released the Coachwhip side-by-side shotgun just for us.

The Heritage Coachwhip is a side-by-side coach gun that exudes 19th-century style. It has a 3″ chamber, so it will fire both 2-3/4 and 3-inch shells. The barrels are 18.5 inches long and have a brass bead front sight and cylinder bore. The barrels are finished with black chrome, that mimics the deep rust blueing of old. The frame has a case-hardened finish. The buttstock and foreend are of rich Turkish walnut. The Coachwhip has fine checkering on the pistol grip and foreend.

The Heritage Coachwhip has a traditional break-open action. It has double-exposed hammers, which need to be cocked before firing. Correspondingly, there’s a set of double triggers so you can select which barrel you want to fire.

While not traditional for the era, the Coachwhip does have a modern tang safety. It looks well positioned for use though, and is fairly unobtrusive, and doesn’t ruin the otherwise classic lines of the gun. The Coachwhip is imported by Heritage from Turkey and has an MSRP of $984.99.
