There is something about a short-barreled side by side that just feels right in the hands. The Charles Daly 500 in 12 gauge takes the traditional coach gun layout and gives it modern touches that make it genuinely useful, not just fun to look at. The 20 inch barrels keep the whole package at 37 inches overall, so it swings fast, stores easy, and carries well whether you are walking brushy cover or riding it in a truck rack. Checkered walnut on the stock and forend, a matte black finish, and a brass bead up front give it that clean, classic look without any fuss.
A lot of doubles in this class run fixed chokes. Not this one. The 500 is threaded for Beretta/Benelli Mobil chokes and ships with a full MC-5 set: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. That means one gun can cover close-range work with spreader-friendly open chokes, then screw in a Full tube when you need tighter patterns. The 3 inch chambers digest everything from featherweight trainers to stout magnum field loads, and the single-selective mechanical reset trigger fires both barrels as fast as you can pull, no recoil-dependent reset to worry about with light ammo.
The break-open action is simple and dependable, with an extractor that lifts hulls clear for a quick pluck and reload. A manual safety, rubber recoil pad, and factory sling studs round out the practical details. At just over 30 inches when broken down for the case, it packs smaller than most pump guns.
This one earns its keep as a handy field companion, a cowboy action rig, a camp gun, or simply the double you grab when you want two quick shots and zero complication. Chiappa backs the Charles Daly name here, and the fit and function reflect it. If you have been wanting a side by side that works as hard as it looks good, this is a strong place to land.
It runs a single-selective trigger with a mechanical reset, so one trigger fires both barrels and you can choose which barrel goes first. The mechanical reset is a nice touch because the second barrel is ready to go even with very light loads, since it does not rely on recoil to reset.
The barrels are threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern, which is one of the most common thread systems out there. It ships with a five-piece MC-5 set covering Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full, and aftermarket Mobil tubes from makers like Carlson's and Briley will drop right in.
This model uses extractors, which lift the spent shells partway out of the chambers when you break the action open so you can pull them by hand. A lot of double gun fans prefer extractors since your empties do not end up scattered on the ground, which is handy for reloaders and cowboy action matches.
Yes, both chambers are cut for 3 inch shells, so it will run 2.75 and 3 inch loads. That covers everything from light target ammo up to heavier magnum field loads, and the rubber recoil pad helps take the sting out of the stout stuff.
