1881 Coach Gun Shotgun Replica
Copyright © 2008-2022 4G Company dba www.gunsofold.com
HISTORY: The Coach Gun got its name on the stagecoach trails of the western frontier. Lone coaches traveling cross-country were often the target of outlaws and Indians, creating a need for security and defense--both for the strongbox that sometimes carried money to meet mine payrolls and other large sums, and for the safety of passengers. Stagecoach companies hired guards to ride alongside the driver on top of the coach. The guards needed a weapon that could hit a target without precise aiming, since it would need to be fired from atop a swaying coach bouncing along a bumpy trail. "Riding Shotgun" was a hard, dangerous, and sometimes fatal occupation.
A cut-down version of the coach Stagecoach Shotgun was also popular among frontier marshals, sheriffs and barkeeps for ease of use and assured accuracy at close quarters. Bandits and drunken cowboys alike would think twice about causing trouble while looking down the double barrels of that "sawed-off" shotgun, that was nicknamed "The Street Howitzer."
