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.
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.
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!
I have got a couple because of his reviews 😊
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!
Not my 1st or my 20th but definitely 5 or six in-between 20 and 50😂
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.
The American history lesson is greatly appreciated and so is the firearm. Nice job Italy and Texas- Bellisimo!
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.
This guy is a legend and I'm glad he posts these video's.
I remember years ago his channel was removed from KZhead and he had to fight to get it back
The universe cannot align anymore than it has... This is crazy to me, the style of firearms I am trying to acquire just magically pop up here... its a sign or something, already in the process with my local FFL finding a double barrel for me haha!
Sleepy Joe said : "Go and buy a shotgun" ... OBEY ! lol
@@TomKappeln Fire 2 blasts! LOL!!!
@@toxicmatrix1337😅👍
Pietta 1878 is around $900 right now. Real Italian made, one of the few
If you were to do a 4-Hour video on Doc Holliday I would watch every minute of it thanks for sharing this
Waking up in the morning and seeing a brand new video from Hickok45 is the BEST WAY to start ur day, such positive energy!
Never saw Tombstone before a week ago. One of my papa's favorite movies. Now I am hooked on it. The "walked over your grave line" is my favorite
Beautiful shotgun. $1700 is pretty steep though lol for me anyway. Cheers, Hickok45
Yea hell no, you can get almost 2 Pietta 1878's for that!...
I love the sound of a break action shotgun closing. It brings back so many memories of my childhood.
Always get a good mixture of education and fun watching hickok45 👍
I'm your Huckleberry, and that's just my game....
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.
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.
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!
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 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
Wow that shotgun looks so fine and thanks for the history! Can’t wait to see what else you bring out to the range Hickok45!
Yes!! Love Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday
❤
That is a beautiful shotgun thank you for reviewing it
Always look forward to your videos Thank you Sir.
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.
Guess that makes sense, except I'm thinking that market is pretty small for this shotgun. :-)
@@hickok45 : Oh yes ! lol Actually waiting for a Winchester "John Wayne" collection ... NEVER fired a round with a seal on the trigger .... Don't ask ... Much to much ! lol Stay safe and healthy !
A few months back my local gun store had the Wyatt Earp edison. It was $2200.00. It was beautiful looked at it then handed it back.🤠
I love your channel!!! I came across it when during the pandemic when I was looking to purchase my first firearm. My eyes light up like a kid at Christmas when I see a new video available. BTW… I’m your Huckleberry!! Since we using Doc Holiday references. Lol
Love double barrels! It is a beautiful gun!!
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.
Great review, thanks. CZ also makes a nice hammer coach gun as you probably already know.
Nice double barrel shotgun thanks for sharing Hickok45
REALLY COOL, TY MR. HICKOK 45 !!!
Hello good sir. Thanks for the amazing video. Hoping to see a 10 guage in the future fits the wild west theme
Great stuff guys! I would love to see some slo mo with the laughing. Always cracks me up
Beautiful gun, thanks for sharing it with us.
I'd love to see that in person. It sure looks beautiful! But I would have the barrels hot dip blued.
#4 buck was the staple of the day and is still my favorite load especially with "cut loads"
Looks simply awesome!
I'm so jealous of that I can't watch this one. Have fun Hickock45
Best home defense ever made
...assuming no more than 2 burglars or robbers.
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.
The reason is the basic Cimarron 1878 coach gun is made in China, while the Doc Holiday is made in Italy.
Yes, Charter Arms makes it they told me.@@JJW3
Nice review of the Pedersoli! Doc Holliday got his doctorate just down the road from me at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry.
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.
Yes has to be a burr or something
Different model bud
Something special about a double barrel s/s shotgun brings you back to a age when Simplicity Worked
Great vid gentlemen! 😎🇺🇲
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.
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.
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
I’d like to see you do a video with the rest of Doc Holliday’s guns! Wild Bill as well!
Glad to see ya back brother 🤘🏻✊🏻🇺🇸💯
I have not BEEN gone. :-)
@@hickok45 well where ya been, smoking pot 😜😬💯🫶🏻
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.
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.
I knew the ranges in hickock45’s videos had a familiar look to it. Tennessee love let me come treat your yard some day sir.
I like how Hickok45 doesn’t look or sound any older than in his videos from 10 years ago.
Liked the good gun for the fence in the end😅❤
I've got a Cimmaron side by side and yes, you need the slip on rubber butt pad. The metal one is brutal.
I've always wanted one of those shotguns. I think there so cool. I love the double rabbit ear hammers. You should have bought that young man. That would be a nice addition to your collection. Enjoy your videos. Been watching you for years. I've seen some guns I'd love to shoot on your videos. Have a great weekend ahead 😀 😎. Peace 🙏
He already owns a Much cooler/nicer hammer coach gun. It's a Ithaca made a little over a century ago.
I remember exactly what Wyatt said to Virgil in the movie Tombstone: "All right, Virg. Your call. Give Doc the shotgun. They'll be less apt to get ner-vi-ous if he's on the street Howitzer"
Beautiful gun.
I had an old wall hanger made the same way from the mid 1800's made in France ya it was pretty cool
Nice shotty, gotta love the external hammers. Love the CZ Hammer Coach gun.
I have the Cimarron 1887 model which is the budget version of the Doc Holliday version. They are really nice.
Curious if it latches without moving the lever, or is it the same as this Holiday model?
It does. That feature on the Doc Holliday is completely unheard of. @@charleshodge1873
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.
That is really cool. Best regards from Germany 🙂
I'm the shipping manager for limbsaver. Cool to see our product on your channel.
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
Hickok45 should keep that one!
👍I learn so much from your videos. I prefer a Shockwave 12 ga for my home but the stagecoach is cool for behind my door with 00buck. 👍✌🇺🇲🇺🇲
What a beauty! Gun is nice too.
Packs a punch, nice shotgun
I love this guy!
Well, that sure is a beauty ! Gonna play some poker now.
😎👋👏saludos mr Hickok desde chile sud america usted ha presentado una excelente escopeta que tiene la ventaja de que puede ser usada para defensa del hogar y para caceria y no importa el clima funciona en todo tiempo y lugar felicitaciones por tan buenos videos
Wow, Never thought i'd interested at Guns channel but here i am
Yes, and your collection is just around the corner, like the rest of us! Life Is Good!
Beautiful gun
Hickok I have the Pedersoli "Generic" clone of this Shotgun. I bought it a few years ago. it has the shiny Blued barrels and it does not require any lever action to lock it up,that feature must be new? I load my own Brass hulls for the full Ole West feel. I enjoy mine and fortunately it was a bit cheaper than MSRP in 2023. Love your channel.
Yea Boy
Beautiful.
I have a Cimmeron of similar manufacturer I got a decade ago (and $800 cheaper). No weirdness with closing the action or color case hardening. But still great fun and a decent home defense option if you can’t get something better.
Very Nice , Beautiful Shotgun , 💯 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
"I'm your Huckleberry". 🍻 VERY cool shotgun. Out of my price range, but eventually would love a coach gun like this!
Hunckle bearer
😮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.
I like the flat finish on the barrels myself.
That's a pretty shotgun. I do need another cannon like but the cool factor of that shotgun is irresistible and it's a quality gun -
Love it!
BEAUTIFUL
That is just a beautiful shotgun.
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.
You're living in heaven with the ability to buy this kind of beauty.
Awesome video!
great video as usual beautiful shot gun but that weird prosses of closeing the breach could be a real problem in a defensive situation not like the originals, I’ll stick to my old pump, 60 years old and not complicated
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.
Beautiful shotgun, still got the Sako 85 Bavarian Carbine at the top of my expensive, beautiful weapons on my lust for, wish list. Don’t mind you showing off other beauties, though.
thats an awesome gun!
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
Cool! Damascus barrels?
Mr. Hickok45. We need a “Last AK I would ever sell” video. Please and thank you good sir
👍👍👍 excellent !!!
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.
Started out wanting to go to Bud's and look up one of these, and of course, they are out of stock. But, if they are in that $1700.00 range, then, I guess the old Stoeger coach gun might have to suffice, when it comes to double barrel time. But hey, my first half of my first order with Silencer Central is finally on the way. Was a piece of cake to do an order from them.
Two things I would note is that the forend should be a splinter type and not the beaver tailish one. Second, the blue should be cold satin blue. Sounds like they may have used matt blue, which is not the same.
Beautiful
Very nice,watchin you en Colombia south america
Awesome 👏 😊
Hickok! The American treasure
Hi mate have you done a review on the chiappa lever action 12 guage shotgun? Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
I have a few hammer side by side guns, I have never seen a safety catch on a hammer gun before like the one on that gun.
1 more negative is the rubber covers on the hammer springs, that is not what doc had, but still a very beautiful hammer gun!
"WHY JONNY TYLER ! YOU MADCAP !" 😂😂😂😂
