There's something about a 16 gauge double that just feels right. It swings lighter than a 12, hits harder than a 20, and old timers have sworn by it for generations. The Heritage Coachwhip takes that sweet sixteen appeal and wraps it up in a proper old-west coach gun, complete with exposed hammers, double triggers, and a break-open action that snaps shut with a satisfying clunk. At roughly 6.7 pounds with an overall length just over 35 inches, this thing carries easy and comes up fast.
The receiver is where this gun earns its keep on looks alone. The color case-hardened alloy steel frame swirls with blues, browns, and straw tones, and no two come out of the shop looking exactly alike. Pair that with a fixed Turkish walnut stock and black chrome finished barrels and you get a shotgun that draws attention at the range before you ever break it open. It's the kind of gun people pick up, turn over in their hands, and don't want to put down.
Using it is refreshingly simple. Thumb back a hammer, pick your trigger, and the front bead does the rest. The 18.5 inch side-by-side barrels keep it quick-handling in tight spots, whether you're working a cowboy action stage, knocking around clays for fun, or keeping it by the back door on the farm. Heritage added a tang safety right where your thumb lands, which is a practical touch on a design that's otherwise all tradition.
The 16 gauge chambering is a big part of the charm here. It's a bore size that's been making a quiet comeback, and finding it in an affordable hammer gun is a treat. If you grew up hearing stories about grandpa's old sixteen, or you just want a double gun with more personality than the usual black synthetic fare, the Coachwhip delivers the goods without fuss.
Yes, and that's a big part of its appeal. Each barrel gets its own trigger and its own external hammer, just like the coach guns of the old west. You cock the hammers manually, which gives you full control over when the gun is ready to fire, and the rear trigger and front trigger let you choose which barrel goes first.
The 16 gauge sits in a sweet spot a lot of folks love. It throws a heavier payload than a 20 while kicking noticeably less than a 12 in a gun this size, which matters in a lightweight double at around 6.7 pounds. It's also just a fun, classic bore size that's been enjoying a real comeback, and finding it in a hammer coach gun is fairly rare.
No, and that's by design. The color case hardening process produces a one-of-a-kind mix of blues, browns, and straw colors on every receiver, so the pattern on your gun won't match anyone else's. It's one of the most eye-catching features of this shotgun and a big reason people pick it over plain blued doubles.
It checks the right boxes for the double barrel role. The exposed hammers, double triggers, and break-open action fit the traditional style of the sport, and the short 18.5 inch barrels make it quick to swing between targets and fast to reload. Always confirm equipment requirements with your local club before match day.
