Why Did Wyatt Earp Wield a Coach Gun? The Ultimate Wild West Defense Weapon

[@AldoSchmedack]

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...

Yep no joke! Up close and personal

Great video! I've owned a lot of 10 and 12 gauge coach guns... Love 'em

[@BattlefieldCurator]

Thanks!

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.

[@BattlefieldCurator]

Sellers remorse is real, an old guy working at a shop told me to never sell because of this

[@russwoodward8251]

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

[@redsky8509]

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?

[@BilgePump]

I’m not a Wells Fargo Stagecoach hand but i like me a scattergun to🤠

[@BattlefieldCurator]

Nice! Yea I just saw a guy buy a coach gun at a local shop on Saturday

[@allenschmitz9644]

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...

[@BattlefieldCurator]

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