Hartford Side-by-Side Shotgun 12 Gauge 20-inch Working Hammers

The Hartford (E.M.F. Company part no. SGP78BL1220) is a 12-gauge side-by-side shotgun with genuine working exposed hammers, recreating the manual of arms of a classic Old West coach gun rather than the hidden-hammer design found on most modern doubles. Short 20-inch barrels keep it compact and quick to maneuver, making it a natural fit for cowboy action shooting or period-correct collections.
