can we just appreciate that he's still making videos for years up to now at this point lol
No joke I bet the reason he seems so healthy at his age is because he gets to shoot so often. Happiness is health or some corny quote
“Hickok45 here, with the Stoeger Double Barrel Wheelchair Shotgun! Designed to be the perfect gun for defending yourself in a wheelchair. Fight off the old folks in your nursing homes.”
How many years has Hick👌45 going on in...he's looking fairly young and enthusiastic to my view on life rewards.

"I bought this gun 20 years ago"
Damn that was like the 80s
"that was 2001"
0_0 oh crap
I know right? How did that happen? it was 1987 a few days ago......
@@Playingwith3D If you grew up in the 70's, it was a great life, full of lessons how everybody today is fully retarded. It was about honest survival, not MiCro AgresSions. Aggression was a fist to the face.
No Way! That would make me....
Hahaha
@@Playingwith3D I don't know how many times I've seen a vehicle advertised for sale that's like an 88 or 89 and to me it should still be perfect and new Hahaha Hahaha
Never has he missed but also, never has he fired without saying “hehehe”
20 years... That sounds about right. Back when I was high school and right after I competed in SASS cowboy matches, and I used one of these borrowed from a friend who actually got me in to the sport.
Hard to believe it's been 20 years...
Did you win?
The second gun I ever purchased was a stoeger coach gun. The wood was a little lighter and I went with nickle barrels. It's an enjoyable gun that can also has be utilitarian.
I have my break action shotgun for if shit ever goes down, crazy reliable easy to repair
Shotguns are easily much more versatile than rifles or handguns just because the shell can be loaded with just about anything...
@@PetuniaIii-pd1ww and if need be you can do cut shells with birdshot
@@skibooski6884 wax loads if you get bored
@@77Infidel I’ve actually thought about doing some wax loads before, just don’t trust myself enough to disassemble a shell and then fire it yet haha, I want to try most of the taofladerhaus loads honestly haha
There's something about quality and simplicity that just seems to appeal to people and keeps certain things timeless.
This gun's true effectiveness isn't reached until you hold it from the hip yelling "get off my lawn!"
With shells loaded full of rock salt. Ouch that burns!
🤣🤣🤣
4 rules for dedley force. Yelling "get off my lawn" isn't one of those yet.
Double barrels have always had the most wonderful menacing look on the business end...inquiring minds know it time to recalculate...
@@waynehendrix4806 Announce your presence and issue a verbal warning.
So 21 years after you got yours, I'll be picking mine up in 10 days (the waiting is the hardest part!).
At age 70 I guess this was on my bucket list & I didn't even know it! Thanks and God Bless!
I believe him when he says he appreciates his supporters … that means something to me .. god bless buddy
Agreed. I bet he would be a nice guy to meet in person and he would end the conversation with “Life is good.”. 👉🏼
I wish I had a grandpa or uncle like Hickok45.
Proud Aussie owner here, love mine!!
What kind of guns are you allowed to own in Australia?
@@robertlangowski1761 We are able to own most types but with varying degrees of criteria. Semi automatic rifle ownership is very difficult, reserved for contract pest controllers etc.
People here most commonly have bolt, lever and pump action rifles, break action or straight pull (bolt action)shotguns.
Handguns are allowed but strictly for use only at an approved range and nowhere else. 🍻
I have to add though that we're very envious of the content that comes out of the USA 😉
@@bearlyawake3904 glad to hear the coach gun is legal there...
My coach gun has rails top and bottom for a torch under and a red dot on top, looks crazy like a zombie movie or something
@@PetuniaIii-pd1ww Me too 😁

I'm Brazilian but my heart is American you have all my respect I love your videos
We'd love to have you, especially over these self hating leftists we have here!
I actually own a rossi 12ga coach gun from the late 60s or early 70s. Well made Brazilian firearm!.
The Stoeger coach gun is made in Brazil 👌🏻
I’ve had mine for a few years, well made.
Let me tell you Brazil can make some Badass firearms, I guess America and Brazil each have things the other side love, wants, and respects equally
Move up here or STFU
🤣🤣
Back in 1962 my Pop bought me a breech loading single barrel 12 gauge shotgun at a yard sale. The man wanted $10 for it and Pop offered $7 and the fact that the shotgun was going to be his sons first firearm and the old blunderbuss, we nicknamed it, became mine . Now back then I was a mighty skinny 12 year old boy and that 12 gauge kicked like a mule. So I learned to make every shot count and never take a shot where there was any chance of missing. Squirrels, Rabbits, Pheasants, and Deer were my quarry in those days, mostly squirrels. Mom made a squirrel potpie to die for and many a time she would send me into the woods out back of the house to bring home a pile of squirrels. Me and the ole blunderbuss never let her down.
Appreciate the story man … never sell that I’m sure
@@Oldlady74 I'll be taking care of it and the rest of my goodies until my last days. Then I plan to donate all the hunting and fishing things I acquired over the years to the Ocala Youth Outdoors Camp and the Florida Wildlife Commission to find new homes for it all especially for youngsters. I already donated all my archery gear to them which gave me the excuse to buy a fancy crossbow for deer hunting.
Nice story. Not enough youngsters are enjoying that kind of activities these days.
this sounds suspiciously like a storyline in one of Louis L'amour's Sacket novels. :D
not discounting your tale, it is a common one in the mountains of appalachia, as well as the Ozarks.
did you bark the squirrels or hit them with bird shot?
@@honkerman74 High Brass five shot is what I fed squirrels with and I grew up in the York County Bald Hills of Pennsylvania. I told my story gospel without even a pinch of good old Louis L'amour's cowboy embellishment. I'm an old man now but I still remember those days like it was yesterday.
Awesome gun! I’ve had mine for over 35 years now and it has never let me down.
Think I got my coach gun at the same time... wow 20 years already, cheers!
I've got one just like it. It's my go to. You can walk with the shotgun down by your side at arm's length without touching the ground. Great gun.
Hi Marlon
@@PAPAROUSwhatsinthedirt Hey Bill! Small world 🤠👍🏻
@@MAERvideos Yes it is love Hickok45!!!
Mee too
I own one as well and have enjoyed it for years... 100% trouble free. A bargain buy for reliable performance.
These videos are by farrrr the best “shoot around” / info videos on the internet. He has a great personality, the videos are funny/informative and he does a lot of shooting with a wide variety of guns. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻🔫
We have only had our single trigger coach gun for a year...I can only hope we can enjoy ours as much as you do yours 20 years ahead...everybody these days hung up over caliber this, capacity that, and so on, when reliable/simple still works just fine...
I’ve wanted an “Army of Darkness” gun for years. Shop smart, shop S mart....
Except Ash’s gun can reload itself when the need arises.
Get one! Get the one with two triggers
This is my BOOMSTICK!
You can't go wrong with a Stoeger, but if you want to perhaps save a few bucks and get basically the same gun, get an E.R. Amantino (they are made by the same company, in Brazil). The Stoegers are nicer and seem to come in more styles though.
@@Shozb0t In Army of Darkness, Ash only reloads once (during the fight against the witch, after Sheila comes to apologize). Also, his gun makes a "pump action" sound between shots....because reasons?? lol
Greg, this is probably one of your best videos. You just get to feel how much you love what you’re doing and what a great guy you are. Your regular videos trying new guns, etc., are great. I’ve seen most of them, but the fun you have shooting shotguns and other guns like that for fun just truly show the essence of why you do what you do ….. you just enjoy Shooting and want to share it with others. Thanks a lot my friend.
This man is legendary
Congratulations from 2023!
oh yeah the gun that you can “shoot 2 shots outside the back door” and no home intruder will mess with you
2 shots on the intruder that you know was going to rape your pet ferret, is the goal. Keep our (unelected) president away from ferrets. If he says "it depends", he wants refreshed underwear.
@@waynehendrix4806 don't waste shells...one shell well aimed should be plenty...
Yep. Especially if you have a Secret Service detail around the property.
Nothing is more cool than a side-by-side. Oh my.
That actor you were trying to think of from Tombstone is Kurt Russell. Don’t worry about it. I forget him a lot, too. But I was holding my iPad with internet access, while you were outside holding your Stoeger Coach! 🤠
" I’m sorry, I just like to play ". And we all benefit from it. Thank you.
Something tells me, if Wyatt Earp had access to a carhart tee shirt and cargo shorts, he would've worn them, too.
😎I bought this shotgun two years ago and man it’s my favorite gun
We absolutely need a chapter 2 on the 51 navy, it's been a while since those have been out. Also the 51 is my favorite firearm of all time so it would be fun to see em again
A man of culture, I see
My uncle just gave me a original he's 70 and his dad found it in the walls of a hotel he was demolishing when he was young I also have a reproduction from pietta the original doesn't lock up that well the cylinder spins when the hammer is all the way Back but It's still pretty cool
Found a nice LC Smith 10 ga coach gun awhile back. Great fun at cowboy action shoots! The thing looks big enough for Paul Bunyan! Even though I use mild black powder loads; the smoke and flame looks like your shooting a canon!
the gong shot was amazing,
there is something different and nostalgic about it....coach guns, love em
ESPECIALLY the 2 trigger ones
I love side by side shotguns, especially one with exposed hammers
The double barrel shotgun is like the “Ole Reliable” of firearms.
Great 👍🏻 always enjoy watching Hickok45
Beautiful gun. I love double barrels. I've never needed to rapid fire more than two shotgun rounds except when kind of goofing around with my 20 gage. Two works for bird hunting. One works for self defense...not that I've ever had a need.
Here in Brazil this shotgun is sold by E. R. Amantino, better known as "Boito". They are weapons of excellent quality. I have a repeater made by them based on the Mosberg 590 model. Very good weapon!
Nothin better than a good old Boom Stick!
My signal shot 12 gauge is one of my favorite to shoot
I bet...I'd like to find one of any gauge when gun buying budget improves...although if I get serious, the one with my name on it probably already sitting in a pawn shop with a great price on it...if I might ask, what brands do good...?
@@PetuniaIii-pd1ww I have the crowd's least favorite.. the H&R topper 58. 18". It was only 100 bucks! It's beautiful and I love it!
I bought my first Stoeger 12g SxS a few months ago. Love it!
I got my stoger coach gun in my safe!! Love it. It’s a Classic, it will be passed down to my son.
I had one similar to that Hickock,it was a 4-10 shotgun made by BOITO,it broke down the exact same way,I could carry it in my backpack. Nice shoot around. Got mine in the 80's for a graduation gift.
Thank you Hickok45, for making great videos, and giving so much information!!!!!!
I just purchased my first double barrel and it’s that exact same gun just 8 years newer if Hickok bought it new. And I absolutely love shooting!
I remember stumbling on a video of this gentleman firing an Ithaca Double barrel, several years ago. He was laughing like a kid at the park. Glad to see that he is still laughing today.
Always loved this channel,pure honesty, no sucking up to no one, humor...greetings from Croatia.
Have the Stoeger Supreme with the changeable chokes. Also the safety was fixed so it wouldn’t engage automatically
Red Dead brought me here, honestly considering this gun for IRL self-defense. Thanks for the informative video, good sir!
I bought the "double defense" I love that little shotgun
I had a Stoeger Coach Gun a few years ago, and had to sell it at a loss to pay bills. I would so love to have another. It was my go to, to relieve some stress. Thanks for the memories.
E.R. Amantino makes the stoeger doubles. My grandma bought me the same gun sas the Stoeger brand stamp when I was 12 from Otasco. I am 53 now. I hunted squirrels, rabbits and deer not to mention hogs up until about two years ago. I bought the Stoeger Uplander because it is the same gun except for a difference in the wood. I am not disappointed especially with the interchangeable chokes on the Stoeger. The old E.R. Amantino has improved cylinder and modified. The Stoeger I I've two modified for small game and two full for deer and hogs with buckshot. Way more versatile and let's see if the Stoeger lasts 40 years in the woods.
Open Range, slow burner but worth it. One of the best westerns out there. Check out Appaloosa with Viggo Mortensen, another fine western.
That's another great one, one of my favorites. Good old "8 Gauge."
Got one of those I used for cowboy shooting. Love it.
20 years of ownership! That's awesome! I understand too how it's sometimes difficult to calculate how many years it's been. We have a pretty foolproof system here. Every 2 years = 1 change of underwear
It's the same math for the president.
@@waynehendrix4806 actually, in Bidens case, it was 20 years since he could remember his own name without a teleprompter.
I'd like to say Hickok45 is like the grand dad I never had.... but truth is ...he's like the grand dad I did have....God bless!
Open Range is my favorite western
It's definitely in my top five.
Just bought a used Stoeger marked "Gaucha IGA Brazil". My guess would be 30 + years old but in excellent condition. Love it. Right barrel has Improved Cylinder Choke, left is Modified Choke.
My brother just bought me one of these for my birthday. I love it. Such a classic. Heavier than I expected but still amazing. It’s now hung right about my bed lol.
Perfect zombie apocalypse weapon
Sure since zombies dont attack in packs and are slow.
Greetings from Brazil. Great video again, I enjoy it just as if I were shooting right there. Is this the 20" model?
These are considered rugged durable firearms around here, commonly used for hunting wild boars, and are made by a long-established shotgun manufacturer in Southern Brazil.
THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!!!

You haven't reviewed any wheellocks and matchlocks yet. Maybe you could try to?
That would be a great idea
hell, while we're at it, why not a homemade bamboo fire lance...lol
Up
wheellock may be hard to come by as they arent mass produced like flintlock or cap n ball guns and cost as much as a kidney
I had my Stoeger Coach Gun for over 20 years as well. Bought it as my first shotgun for Cowboy Action Shooting. About a year later bought an 1897 Winchester and never shot the Coach Gun again. I sold it late last year, still super tight and looked great. The Rona-driven price was very good!
Bought a Stoeger 20 gauge Coach Gun years ago. Lots of fun and very handy to carry covertly!
I purchased both the blued and nickel plated Supreme Stoeger in 12ga. I got a bit of guff from my extended mag tactical shotgun friends. I told them if it was good enough for Granny Clampett, it was good enough for me! I enjoy shooting the side by sides. It has a bit of a kick, but nothing I can't handle. And it is well made. They retail around $500, IF you can find one!
It’s always funny as hell when Hickok says let’s “Smoke a little pot” 😂
Never gets old, just like the man himself
Absolutely beautiful. Amazing price too.
Yes that was a cheap price even 20 years ago. I bought a couple of them a few years apart in the mid 90s and they ran about $350 each new at that time. They are around $550 new on Gunbroker now.
Nice. I had a Stoeger uplander 28 gauge...about 20 years ago, and I sold it about 13 years ago when we were in a tight spot and needed money for food. Worst mistake I ever made. shoulda just starved. :D That thing was quick to the shoulder and quicker to the eye and took a lot of birds on the wing, as well as one very unlucky groundhog.
Two words. Blood plasma. Haha. I hate the idea of parting with any of them.
I have this exact same shotgun, I bought it 3 years ago, cost me 400, love the thing to death
Just picked up one today for the same price
Can't wait until they get some in stock at my local gun store so I can get one.
@@ianfinrir8724 buy one for cheaper off GunBroker...
I sometimes bring mine out to the farm late at night. I never need it, but I always have it, or one of its friends. I wish my guns were magic like Hickock's; mine often miss! Old Guy
He reminds me of Mr Roberts but a gunner love watching him so calming.
Yeah, now Stoeger Coach Guns are around $450 from what I've seen, $100 more for the Supreme version. I'm hoping to get a regular version soon as my first purchase
Great camera work again John, loved seeing the slug on its way to the gong.
Quite the drop. Looked like at least 12 inches...
@@glenspryszak6005 And Hickok45 still hitting the gong even with that drop. And so cool to see the slug in the video.
Such a beauty and 20 years you should celebrate, looks in excellent shape! Take care of it it’ll take care of you!
I've been tempted by that pretty stainless one for long enough that I'm kicking myself in the ass for not buying it a few years ago when it was cheaper.
But then again if I bought everything I kick myself in the ass for not buying, I'd be homeless.
I’ve got the stainless with the black wood I would agree get one while you can cause I don’t think they make them anymore.
@@craigthescott5074 I picked mine up about two years ago, stainless with black hardware. I was pretty happy with how inexpensive it was, then I took it to the range. At that point, I was VERY happy with it. Thinking about ordering the "wood colored" wood hardware for it, though - nothing wrong with the black wood, and looks striking with the black, but just so I can have both sets.
I'm From Brazil and i'll buy a Stoeger Coach gun now haha, seems so much fun, here they are called Boito A-680
I have the Rossi with hammers 20” barrels was 150 back in 1977
Eu também estou comprando uma Boito A680 em 14"
I’ve got a good shotgun request, the newer Browning A5. Compare the original to the new, I’ve shot an original sweet 16 A5 and I’m really curious about the new one. Always good seeing you with a shotgun!
Got a Stoeger Coach Gun myself, best shotgun I've ever owned!
how long have you owned it for? has it ever given you problems? thinking about picking up one myself.
I have one of these in 20ga....it is my only shottie and I love it, love your vids!
At first I didn't believe you no, but damn. What a rifle. And a shot. Love this channel.
I think the end scene to the unforgiven with Clint Eastwood shows the low light and high smoke really well. Regardless one of the best scenes with a double barrel ever.
Went to my first CAS yesterday. Small group, nearby, was welcomed. Many local folks. OLD, like me, except for one young kid. He won the match and hands out lots of info. He may have done this in another life. I am in search of a coach gun now. One of the cowboys offered to let me shoot his rig. It was fun and I had a clean round.
I bought the Stoeger as you have demonstrated. It was reasonable at our local store.
"I didn't have my ears in and I was the first to know". HAHA. This guys deadpan comedy is such gold and why I subscribed.
Love mine with mini-shells.
I bought one of these a few months ago, mine is the nickel plated, black stock version. They're a little stiff out of the box but after some polishing and slight modifications it smoothed out. They also don't kick as bad as you'd think considering how light they are.
I had a sawed off coach gun, it was awesome, i love that it has extractors not ejectors
Thank you Sir
I love coach guns - they are a true classic
I bought a Stoeger uplander about 2 months ago. I paid right at 500 dollars with shipping and FFL fees. It came with 4 different screw in chokes. I had a set of chokes that as a happy accident went right into it. I have the right barrel with a skeet choke and the left barrel has a modified choke in it. I shoot skeet with it every other weekend. It is a pure pleasure to shoot. I know it’s not made in the USA. I cannot afford a good quality side by side that is made in the USA. I will admit, I had to admit. I had to do some dremmel work to slick it up a bit. It has 26 inch barrels on it. Those length barrels have enough weight to them that they pretty much open the action without to much of an issue. My stoeger coach gun had to be polished quite a bit to make it open easily. With that being said. I only paid 250 bucks for it. So having to spend half a day slicking up the action was just fine with me. Stoeger makes a good enough for the money firearm. I have polished up the action on my coach gun to the point that when I swing thee lever open the barrels just fall down. I also bought a set of springs for it. I think they are made by wolf, I think. I have fired probably 800 to 1000 rounds through my coach gun just playing around with it. My uplander well I really have no idea how many countless rounds through it. 3-5 rounds of skeet twice a month for 4 months now. Plus countless rounds fired at my son’s house just shooting at hand throws. Both of them are just fun guns to own.
I bought a Stoeger Uplander 20ga in 2012. Great gun for birding.
Hey Hichok! Been thinking about getting one of these and wanted to watch a video or two on it, and yours naturally was the one I figured I'd watch. It'll be my first gun I've ever owned, and the first time I've ever really handled a shotgun.
Just picked up an Uplander yesterday, got it used for like $342, great condition, no visible wear, bore is immaculate. Did I do good, gentlemen?
Hey Hickock. Like the hat! Like the guns and all the cool history you take pride in giving us common folk a good time in learning with hands on experience through a touch sensitive light box. I appreciate your fun work!
I use a 20 gauge Stoeger coach gun for Cowboy action shooting...they were going for around $450.00-$500 last year around this time....if you could find one.... today who knows....but it's a great gun and great value.
Another advantage of a SxS is that you can get adapter tubes from Short Lane and other companies and shoot a variety of pistol calibers or smaller shotgun gauges. Their rifled tubes are much more accurate than one might imagine. They'll also work in a single barrel or in the top barrel of an O/U; some might be too long for use in an O/U's bottom barrel.
Field/hunting shotguns often don’t have automatic ejectors but sporting shotguns do.
I so enjoy seeing someone have that much fun.
I looked them up Hickok, the price has doubled!
Loves these guns. I just need one.
God bless all here.
