Stoeger Coach Gun 20th Anniversary 

This gun's true effectiveness isn't reached until you hold it from the hip yelling "get off my lawn!"

can we just appreciate that he's still making videos for years up to now at this point lol

"I bought this gun 20 years ago" Damn that was like the 80s "that was 2001" 0_0 oh crap

Never has he missed but also, never has he fired without saying “hehehe”

The perfect weapon for slaying demons

oh yeah the gun that you can “shoot 2 shots outside the back door” and no home intruder will mess with you

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.

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...

There's something about quality and simplicity that just seems to appeal to people and keeps certain things timeless.

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.

THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!!! -Ash Williams From evil dead series

Proud Aussie owner here, love mine!!

I'm Brazilian but my heart is American you have all my respect I love your videos

I believe him when he says he appreciates his supporters … that means something to me .. god bless buddy

I wish I had a grandpa or uncle like Hickok45.

Something tells me, if Wyatt Earp had access to a carhart tee shirt and cargo shorts, he would've worn them, too.

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!

This man is legendary

Congratulations from 2023!

Nothing is more cool than a side-by-side. Oh my.

It’s always funny as hell when Hickok says let’s “Smoke a little pot” 😂

Always loved this channel,pure honesty, no sucking up to no one, humor...greetings from Croatia.

Open Range, slow burner but worth it. One of the best westerns out there. Check out Appaloosa with Viggo Mortensen, another fine western.

" I’m sorry, I just like to play ". And we all benefit from it. Thank you.

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.

I got my stoger coach gun in my safe!! Love it. It’s a Classic, it will be passed down to my son.

The double barrel shotgun is like the “Ole Reliable” of firearms.

Thank you Hickok45, for making great videos, and giving so much information!!!!!!

Awesome gun! I’ve had mine for over 35 years now and it has never let me down.

Perfect zombie apocalypse weapon

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’ve wanted an “Army of Darkness” gun for years. Shop smart, shop S mart....

Great 👍🏻 always enjoy watching Hickok45

Think I got my coach gun at the same time... wow 20 years already, cheers!

"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.

the gong shot was amazing, there is something different and nostalgic about it....coach guns, love em ESPECIALLY the 2 trigger ones

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!

Red Dead brought me here, honestly considering this gun for IRL self-defense. Thanks for the informative video, good sir!

Happy anniversary!!!! Pretty nice one and like always thee Best video's 👍🇺🇲🍾🥳🥃 have fun in joy !!!

I own one as well and have enjoyed it for years... 100% trouble free. A bargain buy for reliable performance.

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!

Bought a Stoeger 20 gauge Coach Gun years ago. Lots of fun and very handy to carry covertly!

Such a beauty and 20 years you should celebrate, looks in excellent shape! Take care of it it’ll take care of you!

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!

Open Range is my favorite western

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.

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.

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 bought my first Stoeger 12g SxS a few months ago. Love it!

My signal shot 12 gauge is one of my favorite to shoot

Nothin better than a good old Boom Stick!

You know how many guns I've bought because of the awesome Man? "did the math for me" LOL Love ya Coach!!

Love all of your posts/videos. I have watched them for years.

I decided to buy a stoeger coach, based on your videos. Ty

I have one of these in 20ga....it is my only shottie and I love it, love your vids!

love your videos, love the coach gun... and man the best movies are westerns by far. cheers!

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 this shotgun two years ago and man it’s my favorite gun

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.

At first I didn't believe you no, but damn. What a rifle. And a shot. Love this channel.

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!

Great camera work again John, loved seeing the slug on its way to the gong.

I love side by side shotguns, especially one with exposed hammers

thank you hickok for the awesome video!!!!!!

Hickok is the best gun salesman on the planet. Stoeger, Ruger, S&W, Colt, Taurus, Glock, RIA, Browning, Remington, Winchester, etc. all owe you stock options my friend

I bought the "double defense" I love that little shotgun

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!

I so enjoy seeing someone have that much fun.

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.

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

Got one of those I used for cowboy shooting. Love it.

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.

YOU ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILE.... THANK YOU!

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.

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.

I had a sawed off coach gun, it was awesome, i love that it has extractors not ejectors

Wow! I caught the video 2 minutes after it uploaded! Checking in from New Haven, CT 🔫🤙

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.

Afternoon Greg,,,Love my SXSs..Taste of history...

Love my younger brother to yours! Using it, like you did, Cowboy Action Shooting!

you hit the gong.... lol Took mine out on Sunday..... along with some other toys. But the Stoeger is VERY fun to shoot!! Been using the "mini shells". They work great, too. Always enjoy your vids!! I did slightly polish the "break". Much better. I have noticed that the coach does hold a tight pattern!!

I have the same one. Definitely one of my favorites to pull out.

Very nice shotgun Mr. Hickok, happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸

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

I love coach guns - they are a true classic

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.

This never gets old!

All your vids are great!

Finally picked up a Stoeger's 12 gauge last month, can't wait to test fire it!

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!

Smokin Stoegies🤠 Bought mine 30 May 2020 for $410. I hope it will stay in the family long after I'm gone. It may be all we're allowed to have under the current regime.

Thanks for shooting the black powder shells. I never knew it made so much smoke.

Wow 20 years and has barely aged I wish I could stay as old and good lookin like that gun and you 😂

We love you Hickok!

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.

"This is my BOOM STICK!!" 👀💥🔫

Just picked mine up today. Got a shell reloader too I'm ready to try.

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

You are an enabler, Hickok45... just sayin'. Thanks for the review!!

He reminds me of Mr Roberts but a gunner love watching him so calming.
