Re: What's the go to choice for a coach gun?
If you are interested in an exposed hammer gun, then the Pioneer Arms is the very best I have found. Greener action and nicely done. However, hard to find.

My wife and daughter each have one as their carry guns. Both guns are about 4 years old and have been shot approximately 1k rounds each. They are holding up very well. Also, both are quite accurate. The ladies (and I) are very pleased with their Bull Dogs.
