Detailed Features 

The break-open action is simple to operate and straightforward to keep clean. The 3" chamber handles full-power home defense loads as well as lighter field loads. The barrel selector lets you choose which barrel fires first. Checkered forend and grip give a firm hold during rapid handling. Efficient extractors clear spent cases quickly. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

The 18.5" barrel is short enough for close-quarters maneuvering. Side-by-side double-barrel configurations have two independent firing systems, which is a practical redundancy for home defense. The same configuration works for upland bird hunting or recreational shooting at close ranges.

Owner feedback on the Citadel Coach centers on its traditional SxS styling and the walnut stock finish. The combination of Turkish walnut and nickel metalwork is consistently noted as visually appealing, and the classic configuration attracts buyers who want something different from a standard pump or semi-auto.

Reliability at the price point is generally described as solid, with the break-action design keeping mechanical complexity low. Recoil with full-power 12 GA loads is noted as more noticeable than with heavier guns, which is an expected trade-off at 6.70 lbs. Some owners report minor fit and finish inconsistencies between individual units, a common point in this price category. The lightweight design and short barrel make it easy to handle, which is praised by home defense buyers. Overall sentiment is positive among buyers who understand the trade-offs of a light, inexpensive SxS.
