With the exception of the Stoeger guns, coach guns seem to be produced on an "odd lot" basis. Beretta made an O/U coach gun in the late 70's. Mossberg/Maverick makes an O/U now, but it is more expensive than many of their pump guns. Allegedly, it will not fire if the barrels are pointed below the horizontal. Bummer.

I remember reading an AR review of a well-made Czech-mfg'd (I believe) coach gun, but the price was obscene, well over $1,000. Best value was the Savage-Stevens 311, which could be cut down to 18"-20" bbls. The company also produced the 311R model, with 18" bbls and a grim looking flat black stock finish. But a good value at $150 in 1984...

I reiterate, they have the advantage of being take-down, so they can fit in a hiker's backpack, or suitcase on a car trip, as another poster aptly pointed out. And despite the nay-sayers, you CAN shoot slugs in them with reasonable accuracy against 2 or 4-legged critters.
