Heritage Manufacturing has announced the release of the Coachwhip, a side-by-side coach gun designed to transport shooters back to the rugged beauty of the American frontier. With its case-hardened frame and rich walnut stock, the Coachwhip is an heirloom-quality firearm designed to capture the spirit of the Old West in every detail.

Built for elegance, utility and close-range versatility, this 12-gauge features 18-inch barrels with a classic bead sight for quick target acquisition. The exposed hammers and double triggers evoke the traditional coach guns that once safeguarded stagecoaches and homesteads, while the break-open action and tang safety provide the reliability of modern engineering.

  • Side-by-side 12-gauge with 18-inch barrels
  • Case-hardened frame with unique coloring
  • Walnut stock
  • Exposed hammer and double triggers
