Hickok45 is a national treasure! I wonder how many people have bought there first firearm because of his teachings. Keep on doing what you do good sir.

[@filmfan09]

I have definitely used his videos on certain guns to help me decide about whether or not to get it. Love this man, his knowledge, and his modesty.

[@PointMan8000]

Hickok was the reason I got my license for a CCW and a growing collection of early 20th century firearms. First gun I ever bought was a Colt Single Action Army, thanks to Hickok!

[@mikedefriece7459]

I have got a couple because of his reviews 😊

[@andrewyording4284]

Yep, I'm one of them. He got me going on the Old West guns, I'd had been a black powder enthusiast for years. Then I got a Henry lever action Big Boy, then a 1873 Winchester by Uberti of course then I had to have a matching 1873 Colt SAA by Uberti, then a 1892 Winchester and next a 1894 JM Marlin lever. and of course you have to have a Coach Gun so found an old Rossi. Yep, he has definately inspired me and also taught me a great deal. Thank you sir!

[@mattschion]

Not my 1st or my 20th but definitely 5 or six in-between 20 and 50😂

[@JA51711]

The American history lesson is greatly appreciated and so is the firearm. Nice job Italy and Texas- Bellisimo!

[@CorePathway]

Joe Biden was right: a double-barrel shotty is the perfect home defense weapon. Good enough for Doc Holiday to face off at the OK Corral, it’s OK for my corral. (I’m going to pop some corn, now that I mentioned Brandon’s name on a gun channel 😂) But seriously, a double barrel is a GREAT for home defense. Come at me, bro.

[@scotthamp384]

I have an uncle who knows a LOT about what happened in Tombstone in the late 1870s and early 1880s. In fact, he was once a student of Arizona's state historian about forty years ago. My uncle said that Holliday was, at one point, a shotgun rider for a stagecoach line. And Holliday used a 10ga shotgun both while riding on a stagecoach and during the gunfight

[@TheDumbBadger]

This guy is a legend and I'm glad he posts these video's.

I remember years ago his channel was removed from KZbin and he had to fight to get it back

[@MarkSmith-qt6mc]

What a handsome shotgun! Hickok45 gives the absolute best gun reviews on the internet. For younger shooters, in their 20s-30s, I think he's viewed as a trusted grandfatherly figure who gives solid, wise advice on firearms and life.

[@GatsuRage]

Waking up in the morning and seeing a brand new video from Hickok45 is the BEST WAY to start ur day, such positive energy!

I know right was just looking at one yesterday day and didn’t know that brand it’s not like the cowboy one little slide thing to change sides kinda high 600 not as bad as that one. But now I see the brand kinda a review little different but guess I’m going to get it. Why just because 🤣😂

Yea hell no, you can get almost 2 Pietta 1878's for that!...

[@ethanp7183]

@@EroticOnion23glad you know about the pietta. I got one 2 years ago for 900 and it seems like nobody knows it’s an option which is so unfortunate. A beautiful Italian made double which is better than the Cz hammer coach in every single category AND a minimum of $100 cheaper. You’d have to be crazy to buy the turkshit Cz in my opinion

[@EroticOnion23]

@@ethanp7183 oh yea, though I didn't like the external safety on a external hammer gun so I took it off with and filled it with a brass plate. Made a red dit post about it if you want to see what it looks like. Titled 'Got rid of the unauthentic safety!'

[@emgee8522]

Would love to see a comparison between this Pedersoli and the Pietta 1878 Hartford. The Pietta is about $700 less, with a beautiful blued finish, really nice lumber, and without the weird break-latch issue you pointed out on the Pedersoli.

[@squawk3120]

Agreed! There is only one video on these guns. Just ordered the Pietta 1878 deluxe with cch side plates. Hopefully its nice and holds up!

[@squawk3120]

UPDATE: I just got it and its awesome. People might be interested, I found this in page 5 of the manual “consult a competent firearms instructor through your local gun club or you can contact Davide Pedersoli Co. directly.”

I love the sound of a break action shotgun closing. It brings back so many memories of my childhood.

[@fredfrisbey1925]

Hi Hickok, I bought a Pedersoli Wyatt Earp last year. I was a wall decoration gun from Paris, barely used. The barrel is blue with a shiny finish. I am surprised how well it’s tuned to shoot siting clays at 50 meters with slugs . It was made in 2011 and is one off the first one’s manufactured according to the serial number..If you could find one a new example today, it’s around 1800 Euros, so it’s about the same price for a doc Holiday Pedersoli. I payed 690€ for it . Cheers from France

[@Marcus-rg7bg]

Im thankful that somebody in Italy is making our old guns. I bought one myself. Paid the high price and got good quality. Thanks italy and thankyou hickock.

[@marcrobertson8350]

Hey Hickok. I own this double barrel, had it for some time now. Mine doesn’t need the lever to be actuated in order to close… may be a manufacturers’s defect on yours. Food for thought. Thanks for the great content. Life is good.

[@JackGorton1960s]

Yes has to be a burr or something

[@XuroX.]

Different model bud

[@TomKappeln]

Pushing the lock to close was made if you are on a horse, rough riding. It prevents closing the gun by it self. Mine does the same.

[@hickok45]

Guess that makes sense, except I'm thinking that market is pretty small for this shotgun. :-)

Nice double barrel shotgun thanks for sharing Hickok45

I own the Stoeger “Coach Gun” 20 inch double trigger side by side that was less than a third of the price. Excellent double barrel, just as pretty and closes without latch.

[@callawayken650]

Me too. However, I suspect the quality and materials are about the same, less than a third. I know my new Stoeger is crap metal parts inside the action.

[@gunterfischer5347]

In Europe that Pedersoli shotgun is available under the name "Wyatt Earp".It has a blued barrel and it isn't necessary to push the lever to close it. Nice gun.

[@silverstar4289]

Well one of Earps haded the shotgun to Holiday, and Wyatt brought Curly Bill to Justice with one, so the name of that is appropriate

[@olemansailor6519]

Just last week I watched a Gunfighter documentary on Doc Holliday. They said he lived on his reputation most of the time. They said he was really only in 5 gunfights, he had only wounded 4 men in the gunfights and only killed 1 man. Having said that, who would want to mess with a surly drunk with the reputation of having no qualms about shooting people. His reputation probably did a lot to keep him from being in a lot of gunfights.

Cimarron has the 1878 coach shotgun that has all the features you don't like about that DH model. It has the blued finish, there is no safety, you don't have to work the lever to close the gun and the price is around $600. I am not sure why that DH model is so expensive.

[@JJW3]

The reason is the basic Cimarron 1878 coach gun is made in China, while the Doc Holiday is made in Italy.

[@andrewyording4284]

Yes, Charter Arms makes it they told me.@@JJW3

[@JosephAlanMeador]

"I'm your Huckleberry". 🍻 VERY cool shotgun. Out of my price range, but eventually would love a coach gun like this!

He already owns a Much cooler/nicer hammer coach gun. It's a Ithaca made a little over a century ago.

Curious if it latches without moving the lever, or is it the same as this Holiday model?

[@therealhawkeyeii7888]

It does. That feature on the Doc Holliday is completely unheard of. @@charleshodge1873

[@joeyvillacrez1063]

I think he means the Cimarron 1878, which is their hammered SxS. I have one from 2017 and one from this year. Neither require the lever to be pushed in order to close.

[@jeremywills9303]

I've got a Cimmaron side by side and yes, you need the slip on rubber butt pad. The metal one is brutal.

[@waynecastleman1363]

I bought my first O/U the Mossberg Black Label 20 gauge a good all around shotgun in its price range so maybe Hickock can review one soon. I've been in the market for several shotguns such as the CZ Coach gun they are hard to find , I tuned on down three years ago at about 1200.00 and if you go to cheap the patina just comes out cheap looking. So a high quality double from Italy is going to be expensive! However a beautiful functional piece of art.

[@cory6667]

I'm the shipping manager for limbsaver. Cool to see our product on your channel.

[@buickgn1897]

Pietta makes a superior coach gun. Exposed hammers, no need to work the lever to close it, and beautiful color case hardening.

[@ryderlayne6178]

I had an old wall hanger made the same way from the mid 1800's made in France ya it was pretty cool

[@kipkleimenhagen8434]

The Pedersoli hammerguns are made by Huglu in Turkey - if you look at the address on the barrel, you'll note that it says "designed, finished, and proofed in Italy", not made in Italy. If you compare the action next to a CZ Hammer Classic, they are identical except for the metal finishes. I bought one (in the full length version) thinking I was getting a decent Italian double, and received a steaming pile of Turkish garbage. Mine also required the lever to be thumbed over manually; this is a design defect caused by the makers fundamentally misunderstanding the function of the Purdey double underbolt, not an error in QC.

[@weldonwilson]

Interesting that the Cimarron/Pedersoli needs to have the lever pushed to close it. I have a Pedersoli coach gun (2023 manufacture) and it does not require the lever to be pushed to close it. I think yours has a manufacturing issue that needs to be checked.

[@keithdorset3824]

I always think that doubles like that are heralded as coach guns and people get all cowboy around them. A couple of years ago I was able to pick up an early 1900s J. Stevens 225 that is about the same size. Rabbit ears. I paid considerably less that yours. It has considerable more wear. I love the character. The seller at the gun show called the pump .22s he collected barn guns. So, I prefer to call mine a barn shotgun. I imagine it spent a lot of it's life leaning up beside the barn door for crows, rats and foxes. The barrels were cut down to 19" or so and the stock shortened. More than likely for a youth or the farmer's wife. I use that same rubber shoulder saver on it mostly to get some length.

[@shooterqqqq]

Everything I had read was Virgil borrowed the shotgun from the stagecoach office. The company had two types of shotguns. One would be the short barreled and the other would be a long barrel. One would be in 12 gauge and the other would be in 10 gauge. That is the amount of information I have found. I think the stage coach company might have been Wells Fargo.

[@eddybear771]

😮did I see a flinch on that bucket shot? You almost fell from the pedestal. Lol. Don't mind me. I'm actually quite jealous.

[@lawrencelewis1036]

Not being able to close the action without moving that lever would stop me from purchasing the gun.Not the price! THANK'S for pointing that out.

[@mehmedakar8868]

Dear hickok45, please add the Turkish dubbing feature to your videos. In the KZbin settings section, there is an "audio track" feature for this. Because I want to understand what you're saying when I'm watching you.

[@michaelj.richards]

I’d like to see you do a video with the rest of Doc Holliday’s guns! Wild Bill as well!

[@jaysonpida5379]

A leading O.K. Corral theory is that it was Holiday clicking back the shotgun hammers that prompted the 'cowboys' to instantly assume Holiday was going to shoot 'right-now/no-warning' and so they started shooting first. That's why W. Earp said those phrases trying to stop 'everyone' when he saw the cowboys react to the 'clicking'.

[@norton750cc]

I bought an original english 12g d.b. hammer gun, 30 inch barrels 120 yrs old, was proofed in 2000 for 2 1/2 " modern cartridges. Excellent condition. Cost me £300.00

Cimarron does not manufacture or make anything concerning firearms. They have very specific features they contract out to Pedersoli to make this beautiful classic western shotgun.

I'd love to see that in person. It sure looks beautiful! But I would have the barrels hot dip blued.

[@mikemc7094]

Hi Hickok45 appreciate your video as always. I have a CZ Case Hardened Hammer Coach Gun that I think is better looking than the Cimmaron. It has glossy dark blue barrels, very nice walnut and the barrel snaps shut without activating the lever. I paid about $900 several years ago at a gun show new.

[@kodiackcota]

I came very close to picking one of those up. CZ doesn’t make a bad firearm and it’s just plain pretty. Should have got it because you won’t find one for $900 wherever you are again.

I have never seen a tang safety on a shotgun with two external hammers.

[@paulbrungardt9823]

Note from Colorado Optometrist--Even if just wounded by a stray buckshot, death may follow due to secondary infections. During the 1880s wounds were treated with sulfur & other Not Wonderful anti infectives-- Antibiotics revolutionized medicine in the 20th century. Alexander Fleming (1881-1955) discovered modern day penicillin in 1928, the widespread use of which proved significantly beneficial for gunshots. Therefore, in Doc Holiday's lifetime, non lethal wounds would often become lethal, after secondary infections. Thanks for reading ".... “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” (Benjamin Franklin, Speech to the Pennsylvania Assembly, November 11, 1755.)

You are 100% on having to engage that locking lever to index the double barrel back home. Slows you down. More than likely you are correct, that its an additional safety feature.
