  Note: one source (buds_set_2 prose) calls this gun the "500 S/S Field," while the deguns spec sheet, matched to the same MPN 930387, and most offer titles call it the "500 Coach." The name uses "Coach." The gauge, chamber, barrel length, and finish agree across both sources and are used together.

Owners of the Charles Daly 500 Coach tend to be pleasantly surprised by the fit of the wood to metal for a shotgun at this price. The action locks up tight out of the box and most report the double triggers or single trigger function without hiccups after a short break in period. A few buyers note the bluing on the barrels can show handling marks earlier than a premium gun, and some recommend a trip to a gunsmith to check chamber dimensions before running a steady diet of heavier loads.

In the field the side by side handles quickly and points naturally, which owners appreciate for walking up birds in heavy cover. The pistol grip stock and checkered walnut give a secure hold, though a portion of shooters with longer arms find the stock dimensions a bit short and add a slip on recoil pad. The break open design makes it easy to keep the action open and visibly clear at hunting camp, a detail several owners specifically call out as reassuring around a group.

On value, the 500 Coach is usually seen as a lot of classic double gun for the money compared to European side by sides. The included choke tubes get good marks for covering typical upland and clays needs without buying extras. Aftermarket support is thinner than for pump or semi auto guns, so owners looking to swap stocks or add engraving usually go the custom gunsmith route rather than off the shelf parts.
