Pedersoli Wyatt Earp Side by Side shotgun 12 ga *No Engraving*
Wyatt Earp (1848-1929) was one of the most known personages during the Western epoch, becoming famous for the O.K. Corral shootout in Tombstone, Arizona (October 26, 1881). The event, which has been the inspiration for several movies, reminds us of the gun fight between the brothers Virgil, Morgan and Wyatt Earp together with Doc Holliday engaged with the brothers Billy and Ike Clanton and brothers Frank and Tom McLaurys' joining one Billy Claiborne. Only about thirty shots were fired, not many victims left on the ground but it is remembered as one of the most significant in the Old West history.
The Wyatt Earp side by side shotgun can be easily opened with only one hand allowing very fast loading of the shells. The extraction of the shells is quick and the cocking of the hammers is easy. The walnut pistol grip stock is checkered. The case hardened frame has the writing Wyatt Earp (on request without the writing). 3" (76 mm) Magnum chambers, the chromed barrel bores are blue finished; the sturdy hammers, featuring Colt's style, can be cocked together in a simple and safe manner.
Thanks to all the details the Wyatt Earp is the ideal gun both for hunting and for the best performances in the Cowboy Action Shooting events.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells.
