Decided that I need a 18 inch shotgun in my live again, any thoughts?

How about a 20" double barrel coach gun. Light reliable and easy to operate.

Why no double barrel 12ga "pistol shotguns"? Not black powder but ones that can take 12 gauge shotgun shells. Or even 20 gauge. I'd want at least 12" barrels on mine.

I've been wishing for one of these, too, but I don't think there's anyone making high-quality, hammer-fired double barrel shotguns currently. With short barrels, I think hammers are essential. A cock-on-close system would be pretty difficult to use with no leverage.

Heck, I'd buy a Keltec KSG just to make Nancy Pelosi have a stroke...

If the Aguila Mini-shells would work in this it would be a REALLY formidable weapoon.

I say spend the money for a new Vang Comp. I know is is a bunch of dough but that shotty will last for generations! I have an older model that Hans did and it still shoots excellently. The combination of porting plus lengthening the forcing cone makes it shoot like a cat's meow even with my bad primary shoulder (3 major surgeries).

I must have missed something because when I went to their website it looked like I just send them my old shotgun and they do little to it for $800

That is what happens, all except the 'do little to it'. Oh and there's a wait
Vang Comp are the real deal and you really need to try one to fully understand.


IMHO, it's the mark of true genius/art when refinements like this are "difficult to see"



[EDIT] not that this would be my recommendation for your search, but the design and gunsmith work is top shelf.
