The Citadel Boss Coach Side-by-Side 20ga 18.5in Walnut is a compact, double-barrel scattergun built for close-range work in the field or on the range. With an 18.5-inch barrel, walnut stock, and case-colored receiver, this coach gun delivers reliable side-by-side performance in a package that swings fast and carries easy. If you want a traditional twin-tube that points where you look and doesn’t weigh you down, this Citadel belongs in your safe.
Compact 18.5-inch barrels — Keeps the overall length short for tight quarters, dense brush, or vehicle storage. You get a point-and-shoot platform that clears corners without hanging up.
Single trigger with tang safety — No fumbling between triggers. One pull per shot, and the tang-mounted safety is right under your thumb for fast, positive control.
Walnut field stock — Oil-finished hardwood soaks up recoil and gives you a classic, checkered grip that stays planted in wet or gloved hands.
Case-colored receiver — Heat-treated finish resists corrosion and adds old-school looks that stand out in a rack of black synthetic guns.
Internal chokes (IC/M) — Screw-in choke tubes let you tighten or open the pattern for birds, clays, or buckshot without swapping barrels.
Who It’s For
This shotgun fits the upland hunter working thick cover for grouse or woodcock, the cowboy action shooter who wants a period-correct side-by-side, and the home defender who prefers a simple, manual-action platform. It also suits the range shooter who appreciates the handling of a short, light twin-tube without the price tag of a custom build.
Pros & Cons
Pro: Sub-20-inch barrel length makes it one of the most maneuverable side-by-sides on the market — ideal for saddle scabbards or truck guns.
Pro: Walnut stock and case coloring give it a look that costs twice as much from custom houses.
Con: No extractor or ejector — shells must be manually plucked from the chambers, which slows reloads compared to automatic ejectors.

The Citadel comes in lighter and shorter than both Stoeger and CZ models, with a more versatile choke system. The CZ offers auto ejectors for faster reloads, but the Citadel’s 18.5-inch barrels and lower weight make it the best choice for carry-intensive use.
FAQ
What chokes come with the Citadel Boss Coach 20ga?
The shotgun ships with two internal screw-in chokes: Improved Cylinder (IC) and Modified (M). You can swap them to fine-tune the pattern for close-range targets or longer shots.
Is the Citadel Boss Coach safe for modern 20-gauge loads?
Yes. According to Citadel specs, the Boss Coach is chambered for 2.75-inch shells and proof-tested for standard-pressure field loads, including buckshot and slugs. Do not use 3-inch magnums.
Does the Boss Coach have a tang safety?
Yes. The safety is a sliding tang-style button located at the top rear of the receiver, just behind the trigger. It’s easy to reach and works reliably with gloved hands.
Can I mount a sling on this shotgun?
The stock and forend do not include factory sling swivel studs, but you can add aftermarket clamp-on swivels. The compact size makes it easy to carry without a sling.
