I'm debating buying a 12 gauge CZ Hammer Coach for a fun range gun. It'd be my first SxS shotgun, and I dont expect it to be useful for anything but giggles at the range. No fowl hunting, no competitive clay shooting, just "Say hello to my boomstick" and putting holes in paper for funsies. I definitely want a double trigger because of cool over practicality, and a 20" barrel for the same reason.

I've heard the workmanship is superior to Stoeger, and the longevity significantly better. Unlike most people that buy guns as safe queens, I put quite a few rounds through anything I buy so longevity is important. Double the price, so I hope it's worth it.

Has anyone shot or owned one? Are there any other newly manufactured SxS shotguns I should be considering? And before someone comes in here shouting about Holland & Holland, go stick a crumpet up your fanny, I'm in the market for a meme gun not the Earl of Shropshire.

I would feel good about buying anything cz makes.

I'm a fan of CZ. Their pistols are built like tanks and are nicely machined. I wasn't aware they manufactured shot guns. I'm interested in taking a real look at them now.

Last I heard they were subcontraced out to a Turkish firm and CZ did final QC on them. So they don't really make them like they do their pistols and rifles.

At least that was the case 10 years when I had one.

Damn I haven't paid attention - CZ does more than handguns?

Lever action Henry rifles are quite fun at the range

What do they even fire these days? I thought .44 Henry was extinct

Like everything. I finally made up my mind and got a hexagonal barrel in 357mag because you can also .38 special when you want to plink, also picked up a golden boy (.22 version) because the price was right and why not. Still want a 45-70 as well.

How's the accuracy at a distance? It'd effectively be a PCC so at least it'd be cost effective.
