Heritage Coachwhip: Riding Shotgun
By Zac K
It’s a classic trope of Western films and one that’s somewhat based on reality: Every stagecoach in an oater has some grizzled plainsman next to the driver, toting a double-barreled scattergun. That’s what the new Heritage Coachwhip is meant to recall—the days when “riding shotgun” was more than just a slang phrase.Heritage Manufacturing @ TFB: New Heritage 92 Lever-Actions: Familiar Cowboy-Style Firepower Wheelgun Wednesday: Heritage Manufacturing – Tactical Rancher Carbine Heritage Roscoe: Retro Heater Wheelgun Wednesday: Davidson’s Exclusives Heritage Barkeep Revolvers
Double-barreled bandit blasterThe Heritage Coachwhip is based on the oldest repeating shotgun design you can find, the classic double-barrel. And in this case, it’s really old-fashioned, as Heritage went with a hammer-fired design, just like you would have seen in the late 1800s.That makes the Coachwhip a lot more Wild West-looking than the Badlander, which came out earlier in 2024. Does it make it better? While hammer guns have their fans, especially in the world of Cowboy Action Shooting, there’s a reason that the industry as a whole moved to hammerless designs in the 20th century.
