There is something about a coach gun that never goes out of style, and the Citadel Boss Coach leans into that heritage without feeling like a wall hanger. The case colored, heat treated receiver gives it that old stagecoach guard character, while the checkered Turkish walnut stock and forend keep it looking like a proper double gun instead of a budget afterthought. At 18.5 inches on the barrels and just over 31 inches overall, it swings fast, points naturally, and stores easily.
The 20 gauge chambering is a big part of the appeal here. You get plenty of payload for close range work, upland birds in thick cover, or casual clays sessions, with noticeably less recoil than a 12 gauge coach gun. The 3 inch chambers give you room to run stout field loads when you want them, and the break action design means loading and unloading is about as simple as it gets. Crack it open, drop in two shells, close it up. Extractors lift the hulls for easy removal, and the bead front sight keeps the sight picture clean and uncluttered.
Citadel kept the control layout traditional and sensible. A single crisp trigger fires both barrels in sequence, a barrel selector lets you choose which tube goes first, and the tang mounted safety sits right under your thumb where a double gun safety belongs. The internal choke system lets you tailor your patterns to the job at hand, which is a nice upgrade over the fixed chokes found on a lot of older coach style doubles.
This is the kind of shotgun that earns its keep in a lot of roles. It is compact enough for a truck or cabin, handy enough for dense cover hunting where a long barreled double just gets hung up, and fun enough that it tends to get passed around at the range. Cowboy action fans will feel right at home with it too. Imported by Legacy Sports International, it delivers genuine side-by-side character at a working gun price point.
This model uses a single trigger rather than the double triggers found on many traditional coach guns. A barrel selector lets you choose which barrel fires first, so you still get the flexibility of running two different chokes or loads. Many folks find the single trigger faster and more intuitive on follow-up shots.
Yes, both barrels are chambered for 3 inch 20 gauge shells, so it will also run standard 2.75 inch loads without any issue. That gives you a wide range of ammo options, from light target loads for the range to heavier field and buckshot loads when you need more punch.
No, the Boss Coach uses extractors instead of ejectors. When you break the action open, the extractors lift the spent hulls partway out of the chambers so you can pull them by hand. A lot of clays and cowboy action folks prefer extractors since your empties stay with you instead of flying off into the grass.
For a lot of people, yes. A 20 gauge in a short, light double gun like this is noticeably softer shooting than a 12, which matters when the gun weighs well under most full size doubles. It still throws plenty of shot for close range work, upland hunting, and range fun, and it is a great pick for smaller framed or recoil sensitive users.
