a few pics of my hammer double...

the great thing about this particular coach gun is its weight...

it is very compact, but built extremely heavy...a little over 8 lbs...it weighs just about as much as my remington 870 marine magnum...

i guess i am not recoil sensitive, because to me, this gun does not really kick that much harder than my remingtons...i have shot standard power slugs and full power 00 buck without any problems...

by the way, i stand 5'9" and 145lbs...

i love that big boom....however, do not fire both barrels at the same time...you might break the stock and tweak your shoulder a little...don't ask me how i know...


forgot to mention that the only mod on my gun is a slip-on pachy decelerator recoil pad....it really dampens the recoil...makes it fun to shoot...

Then you most definitely are much less recoil sensitive than I am.

I shoot 12 gauge slugs through an 870 or a Benelli without feeling much of anything, but buckshot out of every coach gun I've shot rattles my brain and my eyeballs. Birdshot is better but even it gives me a mighty wollop.

I'm heavier and a bit taller than you, and I know how to hold a shotgun. Nevertheless yours is a beauty, especially for a Chinese import.

The TTNs appear to be much heavier than the Spartan and Stoeger models. Does this make a significant reduction in the harsh recoil that many of the coachguns have?
