Quick Take

The Stoeger Coach Gun is a 20 in. side-by-side with fixed chokes, extractors and a brass bead. That’s the whole gun. Stoeger says it’s “inspired by the legendary side-by-side shotguns once carried by Old West stagecoach guards,” and pitches it for Cowboy Action shooting and home defense. There’s no rib, no rail and no magazine tube. You get two shots, and then you open it.

I shot two of them for 700 shells over five sessions: a walnut 12 gauge with double triggers (31400) for 500 shells and the new black synthetic 12 gauge (31676) for 200. Neither gun failed to fire. Six cheap promo hulls stuck in a hot chamber and had to be pried out with a thumbnail, and both guns were stiff to open for the first couple of boxes. Federal 9-pellet 00 buck held an 8 in. pattern from the Modified barrel at 15 yards.

Here’s what the name hides. Stoeger sells seven Coach Guns at three list prices, and the cheapest one is the newest. On October 8, 2026, our card started at $399.99 for the black synthetic at Guns.com, while the walnut guns started at $453.99. So the short answer is yes, it’s still the budget double to beat, as long as you know its limits going in.

Best For: Cowboy action shooters, people who want a dead-simple double for the truck or the back door, and anyone who has always wanted a side-by-side and doesn’t want to spend $1,000 to find out. Not for bird hunters who need choke tubes, or anyone who wants more than two shots.

Seven Coach Guns, Three Prices: What the Name Hides

Dealers file all of these under “Stoeger Coach Gun,” and several listings don’t say which one you’re looking at. Stoeger’s Coach Gun page lists seven item numbers. Every one has 20 in. barrels, a brass bead, a 14-1/2 in. length of pull and a 36.5 in. overall length.

Item	Gauge	Stock and finish	Trigger	Chokes	Weight	MSRP
31676	12	Black synthetic, blued	Double	Fixed IC and M	6.4 lb	$449
31400	12	A-Grade satin walnut, blued	Double	Fixed IC and M	6.5 lb	$549
31405	20	A-Grade satin walnut, blued	Double	Fixed IC and M	6.4 lb	$549
31410	.410	A-Grade satin walnut, blued	Double	Fixed F and F	6.3 lb	$549
31460	12	A-Grade satin walnut, blued	Single	Fixed IC and M	6.5 lb	$549
31461	20	A-Grade satin walnut, blued	Single	Fixed IC and M	6.4 lb	$549
31415	12	Black-finished walnut, polished nickel	Double	Fixed IC and M	6.5 lb	$649

Three things jump out of that table. First, the single trigger costs nothing extra at list. Second, the black synthetic gun that Stoeger flags as new is $100 under the walnut, with the same barrels, chokes and dimensions. Third, the nickel gun costs $100 more than walnut and still has fixed chokes.

That third point matters, because $649 is also what Stoeger lists for every Coach Gun Supreme, and the Supreme comes with screw-in Improved Cylinder and Modified tubes and AA-Grade walnut. On the street the gap goes the other way. Guns.com had a new Supreme at $545.99 on October 8, 2026, and a new polished nickel standard gun at $591.99. If you want nickel, check the Supreme price first.

Design Intent: Why Stoeger Built It This Way

A coach gun is a double cut short enough to handle from a wagon seat. Stoeger kept that formula and stripped the price out of everything else. The receiver is a plain boxlock with no engraving, only a small “Stoeger Coach Gun” script on the side. The barrels have no ventilated rib, only a plain rib and a bead. The chokes are fixed. There are extractors that lift both hulls a short way when you open the gun, and you pull them out yourself.

None of that is an accident. A fixed-choke barrel is cheaper to make than a threaded one. Extractors are simpler than ejectors and have fewer parts to break. What you get for the savings is a gun with almost nothing to go wrong, and a 3 in. chamber in 12 and 20 gauge that takes any 2-3/4 or 3 in. shell.

The buyers are easy to name. Cowboy action shooters need a double or a hammer pump, and our guide to cowboy action shooting explains where the shotgun fits in a four-gun match. Home defenders like a gun with no pump to short-stroke. The new synthetic model adds what Stoeger calls “a durable, weather-resistant stock.”

Stoeger Coach Gun Variants

Street prices on October 8, 2026 followed the list ladder, with one catch. Guns.com files several different guns under the bare title “Stoeger Coach Gun,” so you have to open the listing to see which one it is. The $399.99 gun that leads our card is the black synthetic. Its cheapest walnut gun was $453.99, and Kentucky Gun Co had walnut guns in 12 gauge, 20 gauge and .410 at $470.99 each.

Stoeger Coach Gun Supreme (from $545.99)

The Supreme is the dressed-up version. Stoeger’s Supreme page says it “was first developed as a traditional double-trigger model for Cowboy Action Shooting” and is now “also available in a fast-shooting single-trigger model.” It lists three 12 gauge guns at $649 each: blued with double triggers (31481), polished nickel with double triggers (31482) and a stainless receiver with a gold-plated single trigger (31463). All three have AA-Grade satin walnut and come with Improved Cylinder and Modified choke tubes and a wrench. The barrels, chambers, length and 6.5 lb weight match the standard gun.

Two oddities are worth knowing. Stoeger’s own site menu still advertises the Supreme “starting” at $579, while the spec table on the Supreme page says $649 for all three. And although Stoeger now lists the Supreme in 12 gauge only, dealers still have 20 gauge Supremes. EuroOptic listed a blued 20 gauge double-trigger Supreme (31487) at $429.99 on October 8, 2026, which is less than a plain walnut Coach Gun.

Competitor Comparison

Short doubles are a small class, and most of the Coach Gun’s rivals cost more. Our best side-by-side shotguns and best double barrel shotguns roundups cover the longer field guns. For Stoeger’s over-under, see our Stoeger Condor review.

Stoeger Double Defense (from $452.99)

The Double Defense is Stoeger’s own home-defense take on the same gun. Stoeger’s current page lists one side-by-side, the 12 gauge 31446, at $649. It has ported 20 in. barrels, fixed Improved Cylinder chokes in both barrels, a single trigger, a green fiber-optic front sight and two Picatinny rails, and it weighs 7 lb. That’s half a pound more than a Coach Gun. If the gun’s only job is the hallway, the rails and the fiber-optic sight are worth having. For cowboy action or a mix of uses, the plain Coach Gun is lighter and looks the part. Dealers also carry a 20 gauge Double Defense; EuroOptic listed it at $439.99 and the 12 gauge at $599 on October 8, 2026.

Charles Daly 500 Coach (from $578.99)

The Charles Daly is the closest thing to a Coach Gun with the options added. The maker’s page for the 20 gauge model lists 20 in. barrels, a 37 in. overall length, 6.5 lb, screw-in choke tubes, a single selective trigger, extractors and a manual safety, at $720 list. It’s made in Turkey. Palmetto State Armory had that 20 gauge at $578.99 on October 8, 2026. So you pay about $125 more than a walnut Stoeger for tubes and a selective trigger. For a bird hunter that’s money well spent. For a cowboy action gun it buys little.

Citadel Coach (from $499.99)

The Citadel Coach is a Legacy Sports gun, and dealers list it with 18.5 in. barrels in 12 gauge, 20 gauge and .410, with Turkish walnut, a barrel selector and extractors. Guns.com had one at $499.99 on October 8, 2026. It’s an inch and a half shorter in the barrel than the Stoeger and $100 more than the synthetic Coach Gun. I haven’t shot one, so I can’t tell you how it holds up.

Cimarron 1878 Coach Gun (from $694.99)

If you want hammers, this is where the price of admission starts. Cimarron describes its 1878 as having “the traditional exposed sidehammers,” a 20 in. or 26 in. barrel, 3 in. chambers and a blued receiver, and lists the 20 in. gun at $722.50. Guns.com had it at $694.99 on October 8, 2026. It looks far more like a period gun than the Stoeger does. You’ll also cock two hammers before every pair of shots.

CZ Hammer Coach (from $1,047.99)

The CZ Hammer Coach is the premium hammer double. Dealers list it as a 12 gauge with 20 in. barrels, 3 in. chambers, working hammers, a color case hardened receiver, Turkish walnut and fixed Cylinder chokes. Brownells had it at $1,047.99 on October 8, 2026. CZ’s current U.S. shotgun page no longer shows it, so what’s at dealers may be the last of them. It’s a much nicer object than the Stoeger, at well over twice the price.

One newcomer has no card yet. The Derya EX1400 Coach lists at $699 with 18 in. barrels, three choke tubes and exposed hammers, and none of the dealers we track had the 18 in. gun in stock on October 8, 2026. Our Derya EX1400 Coach news story has the details.

Verdict: The Coach Gun is the cheapest new gun in this group and the only one under $450. The Charles Daly adds choke tubes, the Cimarron and CZ add hammers, and the Double Defense adds rails. If none of those matter to you, keep the money.

Testing Protocol

We shot two 12 gauge guns for 700 shells over five sessions in September: a walnut double-trigger 31400 for 500 shells and a black synthetic 31676 for 200. Temperatures ran from 61°F to 88°F. Three sessions were on a pattern board and a steel plate rack, one was a round of clays, and one was slugs from a bench. Patterns were shot on 48 in. paper and counted inside a 30 in. circle. On our walnut gun the front trigger fires the right barrel, which is the Improved Cylinder side, and the rear trigger fires the Modified left barrel.

Ammunition Log

Load	Shells	Result
Winchester AA 2-3/4 in. 1-1/8 oz #8 target	250	No stoppages; 47% (IC) and 58% (M) at 40 yards
Federal Top Gun 2-3/4 in. 1-1/8 oz #7.5	200	Six hulls stuck in hot chambers
Winchester AA Low Recoil Low Noise 2-3/4 in. 15/16 oz #8	100	No stoppages; the softest load we shot
Federal Power-Shok 2-3/4 in. 9-pellet 00 buck	60	11 in. (IC) and 8 in. (M) at 15 yards
Kent Fasteel 2-3/4 in. #4 steel	35	No stoppages; fine in both barrels
Federal FliteControl 2-3/4 in. 8-pellet 00 buck	25	4.5 in. (IC) and 3.5 in. (M) at 15 yards
Remington Slugger 2-3/4 in. 1 oz rifled slug	20	IC barrel only; 5.2 in. for five at 50 yards
Federal Premium 3 in. 15-pellet 00 buck	10	Functioned; punishing recoil

Phase 1: Out of the Box

Both guns came in three pieces. Stoeger’s manual says the shotgun “is shipped from the factory with barrel assembly and forearm assembly removed,” and tells you to clean the lubrication from the metal parts and bores before you put it together. It took a few minutes with a rag and solvent.

Both were stiff. The top lever on the walnut gun stopped to the right of center when closed, which looks wrong if you’ve never owned a new double. The manual covers it: the lever “may not return to a precise center position” when the gun is new, to leave room for the locking surfaces to wear in. Stoeger’s FAQ says only its M3500, M3000 and M2000 need a break-in, and that held true for function. I still opened and closed each gun about 100 times before the first range trip, and it helped.

Phase 2: Reliability

A break-action has no feeding or cycling to fail, so the question is whether it fires every time and lets go of the hulls. It fired every time. In 700 shells I had no misfires, no light strikes and no doubling, where both barrels go off on one pull. That last one is a known worry with cheap doubles, and I shot the 3 in. buckshot specifically to try to provoke it. Nothing.

Extraction was the only blemish. Six Federal Top Gun hulls, all in the walnut gun’s left barrel and all in fast strings on the plate rack, stuck hard enough that the extractor lifted them and I still had to dig them out with a thumbnail. Winchester AA hulls never stuck. Once I wiped the chambers between stages, the Top Gun hulls stopped sticking too.

On the plate rack I ran a simple drill: two plates at 10 yards, reload two, two more plates. My best run with the double-trigger walnut gun was 6.8 seconds. Most of that time is the reload, because the extractors only raise the hulls and the automatic safety resets every time you open the gun.

Phase 3: Patterns and Slugs

With Winchester AA #8s at 40 yards, the Improved Cylinder barrel put 47% of its pellets in the 30 in. circle and the Modified barrel 58%. At 25 yards the centers of the two barrels’ patterns landed within 3 in. of each other, so the barrels are regulated well enough for any work a 20 in. double will do.

Buckshot is what most buyers care about. At 15 yards, Federal Power-Shok 9-pellet 00 spread 11 in. from the Improved Cylinder barrel and 8 in. from the Modified barrel. Federal’s FliteControl 8-pellet load was far tighter at 4.5 in. and 3.5 in. At 25 yards the Power-Shok opened to 19 in. from the open barrel, which is about as far as I’d trust it.

Slugs went through the Improved Cylinder barrel only, for a reason I’ll cover in the technical section. Five Remington Sluggers from a rest at 50 yards made a 5.2 in. group, centered 3 in. left and 2 in. high of where the bead sat. With no rear sight, that’s a 50-yard deer gun at most. The front trigger broke at 6.3 lb on our gauge and the rear at 7.6 lb, both with some creep.

Tracking & Observations

After 500 shells the walnut gun opened with about half the effort it needed on day one, and the top lever had moved closer to center. The bluing wore bright on the forend iron where it meets the receiver, which is normal for a double. The walnut picked up two small dents from the plate rack table. The synthetic gun’s stock shrugged off the same treatment, and at 200 shells it was still a little stiffer to open than the walnut gun.

Our scale put the walnut gun at 6.6 lb and the synthetic at 6.4 lb, both within a tenth of a pound of Stoeger’s figures.

What This Means for You

• Reliability: It fires every time. Keep the chambers clean and buy shells with smooth hulls if you shoot it fast.
• Ammo Preference: Light 2-3/4 in. target loads for practice and matches; a tight-patterning 8-pellet or 9-pellet 00 buck for defense.
• Pattern Expectation: About 47% and 58% at 40 yards with target loads, and 8 in. to 11 in. with standard buckshot at 15 yards.
• Maintenance: Clean the factory grease off first, then keep a little grease on the pivot pins and forend iron.
• Upgrade Impact: A slip-on recoil pad and a box of snap caps do more for this gun than anything else you can buy.

Performance Testing Results

Reliability (8/10)

Seven hundred shells, two guns, no misfires and no doubling. Six sticky hulls with one brand of promo shell keep it from a nine, because a stuck hull in a two-shot gun costs you more than it would in a pump.

Patterns and Accuracy (7/10)

The chokes shoot to their markings and the barrels hit close to the same spot. Buckshot patterns were good at room distance and usable to 25 yards. Slugs are a short-range option from one barrel. You can’t change any of it, though, and that’s what holds the score down.

Ergonomics & Recoil (7/10)

At 36.5 in. and about six and a half pounds, the Coach Gun comes up fast and points where you look. The same light weight works against you with heavy shells. Target loads are pleasant, standard 00 buck is a firm shove, and ten of the 3 in. 15-pellet loads was enough. The rear trigger is a long reach for small hands.

Fit, Finish, and Quality Control (7/10)

The bluing is even and the wood-to-metal fit on our walnut gun was better than I expected for the money, with one proud edge at the tang. The checkering is shallow. The synthetic stock is plain black plastic with molded panels.

Value (9/10)

A new side-by-side from $399.99 on our card, with walnut from $453.99. The cheapest gun from another maker on this page starts $100 higher.

Features (6/10)

Two barrels, two chokes, a bead and a safety. There’s a 3 in. chamber and a choice of trigger. That’s the list.

Technical Deep Dive

Action and Safety

Push the top lever to the right and the barrels drop open. Opening the gun cocks both internal hammers and, per the manual, “automatically the safety button moves to the ‘S’ position.” So every time you close a Coach Gun it’s on safe, whether you wanted that or not. For a hunting gun or a house gun that’s a sensible default. On the clock it’s one more thing to do, and it takes a few hundred repetitions before your thumb does it without being asked.

Barrels and Fixed Chokes

The 12 and 20 gauge guns have one Improved Cylinder barrel and one Modified barrel. The .410 has two Full barrels. Because the chokes are fixed, three of Stoeger’s own rules decide what you can shoot.

• Slugs: Stoeger’s FAQ recommends Cylinder or Improved Cylinder for rifled slugs and adds, “It is not safe to shoot slugs through chokes tighter than those listed here.” On a Coach Gun that means slugs go in the Improved Cylinder barrel and never in the Modified one.
• Steel shot: The same FAQ recommends Modified, Improved Cylinder or Cylinder for steel, so both barrels of a 12 or 20 gauge are fine.
• The .410: The manual prints one warning in capitals: “DO NOT SHOOT STEEL SHOT THROUGH A FULL CHOKED BARREL.” Both of the .410’s barrels are Full, so it’s a lead-shot gun.

Our shotgun chokes explained guide covers what each constriction does, and the shotgun barrel length guide explains what 20 in. costs you in swing and what it buys you indoors.

Component	Specification	Benefit
Action	Break-open boxlock, extractors	Few parts, easy to check empty
Safety	Automatic, on the tang	Resets to safe every time the gun opens
Barrels	20 in., side-by-side	36.5 in. overall, quick in tight spaces
Chambers	3 in. (12 and 20 gauge)	Takes any 2-3/4 or 3 in. shell
Chokes	Fixed IC and M; F and F on .410	Nothing to lose or shoot loose
Warranty	One year, per the manual	Covers defects in workmanship and materials

Double Trigger or Single Trigger

With two triggers you choose the barrel with your finger. Front trigger for the open choke, rear trigger for the tight one, in any order, with no selector to fumble. It’s the one I’d buy. The single-trigger guns cost the same $549 at list and suit shooters who are used to a pump or an over-under. Sportsman’s Outdoor Superstore listed a 20 gauge single-trigger gun at $479.99 on October 8, 2026, the same price it asked for the 20 gauge double-trigger.

Where It’s Made

Stoeger’s product photos show the barrels marked with Stoeger’s name and Accokeek, Maryland, which is the company’s U.S. address. The owner’s manual says the warranty “is given by STOEGER” at a post office box in Veranópolis, in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, and that warranty returns go to Stoeger’s service center in Pocomoke City, Maryland.

12 Gauge, 20 Gauge or .410

The three gauges weigh almost the same on Stoeger’s spec table: 6.5 lb, 6.4 lb and 6.3 lb. That changes the usual advice. A 20 gauge that weighs what the 12 does kicks a good deal less, since it’s throwing a lighter payload from the same mass. If recoil is your worry, the 20 gauge Coach Gun is the honest fix, and our best 20 gauge shotguns guide makes the wider case for the gauge.

The 12 gauge has the shell selection: every buckshot load, every slug, and cheap target loads everywhere. It’s the one to buy for defense and for cowboy action, where light 12 gauge loads are easy to find.

The .410 is a different animal. Two Full chokes make it a tight-shooting small-game and pest gun, and the lead-only rule above applies. It costs the same as the 12 gauge, so buy it because you want a .410. Our best .410 shotguns roundup has the alternatives.

The Coach Gun for Home Defense

Stoeger says the Coach Gun is suited to “practical home defense,” and there’s a real argument for it. It’s 36.5 in. long. There’s no slide to short-stroke under stress, and you can see whether it’s loaded by cracking it open.

The argument against it is just as real, and it’s the number two. After two shots you’re reloading by hand with extractors that only lift the hulls. A pump holds five or more and costs less; our Mossberg Maverick 88 review covers the usual budget pick, and the best home defense shotguns under $500 list has the rest.

If you do keep a Coach Gun for the house, pattern your defensive load and skip the 3 in. shells. In our gun, FliteControl 00 held 3.5 in. to 4.5 in. at 15 yards, so you have to aim it. Our best shotgun ammo for home defense guide and the buckshot vs slugs vs birdshot explainer go deeper on loads.

Running It in Cowboy Action

This is the Coach Gun’s home turf, and Stoeger says so on both the standard and Supreme pages. A few things I learned on the plate rack will save you time at your first match.

• Work the action at home. A new gun won’t fall open under its own weight. A few hundred open-and-close cycles made ours noticeably easier to break.
• Pick smooth hulls. Winchester AA hulls slid out every time. The ribbed promo hulls were the ones that stuck.
• Shoot light loads. The 15/16 oz low-recoil AA load knocked down every plate and let me stay on the gun for the second shot.

Buying Tips: New, Used and Which One

Start with the stock. If the gun will ride in a truck, a boat or a barn, buy the synthetic and pocket the difference. On October 8, 2026 it was $399.99 at Guns.com against $453.99 for that store’s cheapest walnut gun. If it’s going to matches or you care how it looks on the wall, buy walnut.

Used guns are a mixed deal right now. Guns.com had used Coach Guns from $399.99 on the same day, which means the cheapest used one cost the same as a new synthetic. A used walnut gun only makes sense well under $400. If you look at one, check that it locks up without wobble, that the top lever sits at or right of center and that both firing pins strike a snap cap.

Prices on doubles move, so check our shotgun deals page before you buy.

Parts, Accessories and Upgrades

Upgrade Category	Recommended Component	Why It Matters	Cost Estimate
Recoil	A slip-on recoil pad	Softens buckshot and adds a little length of pull	$15 to $35
Dry practice	Two 12 gauge snap caps	Lets you work the action, safety and triggers at home	$10 to $20
Shell carrier	A leather butt cuff or belt slide	Two shots go fast; keep the next two close	$20 to $60
Lubrication	A tube of gun grease	For the pivot pins and forend iron, as the manual advises	$8 to $15
Ammunition	Low-recoil 2-3/4 in. target loads	Easier on you and the gun in a 6.5 lb double	$10 to $14 per 25

There isn’t much to bolt on, and that’s part of the appeal. Stoeger lists optional flush and extended choke tubes on its Coach Gun pages, and those fit the threaded barrels of the Supreme. The standard gun’s fixed chokes take none of them.

Common Problems & Solutions

• Stiff to open when new: Normal. Clean off the shipping grease, grease the pivot pins and work the action. Ours eased up within a few hundred cycles.
• Top lever sits off center: The manual says a new gun’s lever may not return to center, and that it adjusts with use. It isn’t a defect.
• Hulls stick in the chambers: Wipe the chambers and switch to smooth-sided hulls. All six of ours were one brand of promo shell in a hot barrel.
• Gun won’t fire after closing: The automatic safety has reset. Push it forward. The manual also warns that dirt on top of the frame can keep the action from closing fully.
• Loose stock after removal: Snug the stock bolt to no more than 5 ft-lb, the manual’s limit.

Who Should NOT Buy This Gun

The Coach Gun does a few jobs well and several jobs poorly. Be honest about which list yours is on.

• Upland and dove hunters: Fixed chokes and 20 in. barrels are the wrong tools. The Charles Daly 500 Coach at least gives you choke tubes, and a longer field double is better still.
• Buyers who want capacity for home defense: Two shots is two shots. A Mossberg Maverick 88 holds more and costs less.
• Home defenders who want a light and a sight: The Stoeger Double Defense has the rails and fiber-optic front the Coach Gun lacks.
• Shooters who want real hammers: The Cimarron 1878 Coach Gun has exposed sidehammers and the period look.
• Anyone who wants choke tubes in this exact gun: Buy the Stoeger Coach Gun Supreme, which adds them for about $90 more on the street.

Final Verdict

The Stoeger Coach Gun is a simple gun sold at a simple price. Ours fired 700 shells without a misfire, shot to its choke markings and got easier to open the more we used it. It kicks with heavy loads, the triggers are heavy, and you can’t change the chokes. You knew all of that before you opened the box.

What’s changed is the price ladder. The synthetic model is the cheapest way into a new Coach Gun at $399.99 on our card, the walnut guns start about $54 higher, and the nickel gun costs more than a Supreme with choke tubes. For a match gun or a truck gun, buy the synthetic or the walnut and a case of light shells.

Final Score: 7.6/10. A plain, dependable short double that still costs less than every rival on this page.
