I was looking at Stoeger and CZ's web sites but couldn't find the animal I was looking for. I wanted a 20 gauge self-defense shotgun for home. For reasons I won't go into, I'd prefer 20ga over 12ga.
I was looking for a SxS Coach type shotgun with:
20-22" barrel
single trigger
built-in ejector
both barrels improved-cylinder
no external hammers
I could live without the ejector, but do want both barrels to have the same choke since birdshot is unlikely to ever be used. Consistency is the key to self-defense, right?
Is it possible to get such a configuration without spending a fortune on a custom gun? Since no coach guns seem to be made in this configuration, I wonder if buying a regular 28-30" shotgun and having it cut down might be the only avenue?
