Description
The Derya Arms EX1400 Coach is a 12 gauge side-by-side cut short for close work. With 18-inch barrels and a 35-inch overall length, it tips the scales at around 6.61 pounds unloaded, so it swings up quick from a seated position or a corner without feeling like a handful. It holds two rounds, runs double triggers (front for the right barrel, rear for the left), and uses a classic tang safety. Up top you get a fixed bead front sight, which is all you really need for the ranges a coach gun is meant to cover.
What Sets the EX1400 Coach Apart
This isn't just a field gun with the barrels lopped off. The Coach is built around a steel receiver finished in black chrome, paired with Turkish walnut, giving it that handsome old-world look with modern strength underneath. The 3-inch chambers let you run both standard and magnum 12 gauge loads, and the barrels come choke-threaded using Mobilchoke-pattern tubes so you can tune your pattern for the job at hand.
Running the Coach Two Ways
One of the nicer touches with the EX1400 Coach is that it ships with an extra grip. Leave it set up as a traditional coach gun, or swap over for a shorter, more compact hold depending on how you like to shoulder it. That flexibility makes the same shotgun feel right whether you're drilling for cowboy action timing or keeping it handy at home.
Who Reaches for a Derya EX1400 Coach
The short double-barrel has a long history, going back to the stagecoach guards the design is named after. Today the EX1400 Coach fits cowboy action shooting with its double triggers and side-by-side layout, and it earns its keep as a simple, reliable close-range gun. It's backed by Derya's limited lifetime warranty to the original owner, which says something about how they stand behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the EX1400 Coach fire its two barrels?
The EX1400 Coach uses double triggers, one for each barrel. The front trigger fires the right barrel and the rear trigger fires the left. That setup lets you pick which choke or load goes first on the fly, which is part of why double-trigger side-by-sides are a favorite for cowboy action shooting.
Are the barrels on the Derya EX1400 Coach choke-threaded?
Yes. The 18-inch barrels are choke-threaded and the gun ships with a three-choke set, so you can tune your pattern tighter or more open depending on the task. It uses the Mobilchoke thread pattern.
What does the extra grip that comes with the EX1400 Coach do?
Every Coach ships with an extra grip in the box. You can leave the shotgun set up as a traditional coach gun or swap to the included grip for a shorter, more compact hold. It lets you run the same gun two different ways based on what feels best to you.
What can I use the EX1400 Coach for?
With its short 18-inch barrels, double triggers, and classic side-by-side layout, the Coach is well suited to cowboy action matches and close-range use. At roughly 6.61 pounds and 35 inches overall, it comes up fast and handles easily in tight quarters.
