The Citadel Coach side by side 12ga shotgun is a classic, compact break-action shotgun built for hunters and shooters who value simplicity, reliability, and no-nonsense performance in the field. At 18 inches, the Coach offers the handling speed of a short-barreled shotgun while maintaining the proven two-barrel versatility that makes side-by-sides favorites for upland game, home defense, and hunters who want to pick their shot without fumbling with chokes or settings. Finished in Turkish walnut furniture with a checkered forend and grip, this shotgun balances period aesthetics with functional ergonomics—your hands stay put when things get active.
As a break-action design, the Citadel Coach is mechanically straightforward: open the breech, load two rounds, snap it shut, and you're ready to go. No gas tubes, no piston systems, no learning curve. The single crisp trigger and barrel selector give you instant choice between your two barrels—useful for different loads, shot patterns, or just adapting to unexpected game at close range. Extractors (not ejectors) pop the empties clear enough for quick reloading, and the blued barrel finish is a practical choice for a working gun that sees use.
This is the kind of shotgun that makes sense if you hunt where quick, intuitive shooting matters more than ergonomic accessories, or if you simply prefer the directness of a coach gun. The Turkish walnut gives it character; the 18-inch barrels give you speed and maneuverability; and the proven side-by-side layout gives you two independent sighting planes and full control.

Extractors pivot the empty shells out of the chamber when you open the breech, but you still have to pick them out by hand. Ejectors would spring-eject them automatically. For a coach gun, extractors are standard and make for a simpler, more reliable mechanism.
The 18-inch barrels and side-by-side layout make it fast and easy to manage indoors or in tight spaces. Two loaded rounds give you two shots before a reload, and the break-action simplicity means there's nothing to fumble in an emergency.
No—the single trigger with barrel selector lets you fire the left or right barrel individually, one shot at a time. You choose which barrel before you pull the trigger.
This model is available in 12ga; the Citadel Coach line also offers 20ga if you're looking for a lighter recoil option.
