    Other reasons for shortening the barrel of a coach gun were to be more maneuverable when the bandits were on the side of the stage driver, and to make it easier to bring the shotgun into play quicker.

    Actually, the firearm used in that scene from Pirates of the Caribbean is not a shotgun, or even a blunderbuss. That is what is known as a "hand mortar", a firearm used to lob cast iron black powder grenades.

On a side note Winchester let people bring in their 1893's (reason being was that the 93's were not strong enough for smokeless powder) for 1897's that's why they are pretty rare now.

    I believe it was Elmer Keith who called the Winchester Model 97 12-guage the "greatest alley cleaner of them all". You could hold the trigger and shoot off the entire magazine. I once demonstrated this on the range and totally obliterated the silhouette target and most of the frame. The range master said, "Jesus Christ !!". It also demonstrated why the shotgun is perhaps the best weapon the lawman has at his disposal !

    I have a Winchester “97” that I bought about 35 years ago. It was made in 1927 and it’s about 90%. It shoots better than any new pump shotgun I’ve ever owned. The only drawback is the fight that’s going to ensue between my kids to see who gets it after I kick the bucket.

    Winchester's first pump shotgun was actually the 1893. The 1897 is an improvement on the design, and was much more popular. There were a few other options on the market for repeating shotguns too.

    Clint-"Who owns this sh*thole?!?"...... "I own this establishment.....bought it from Mr. Greeley for a $1000" ....Clint-"You boys better clear away from there!" Actually the Winchester Model of 1893 pump action preceded the 1897 but it had a design flaw and most were sent back to Winchester and rebuilt as 1897s. Also, you can hold the trigger on a '97 and it will automatically fire as fast as you can pump it. I used to have one.

    The feature where you can hold down the trigger and it will fire as you pump is actually prevalent on a lot of older pump shotguns. Even the Ithaca 37's could do it. If memory serves, they're referred to as "slam-fire shotguns."

    fun fact about the model 97 Winchester is that it was used extensively in world war 1 and up to the Vietnam for it's close range firepower that was very well suited for fighting in trenches and tunnel systems that were no wider than a couple grown men standing side by side. they still used paper shells as brass shells never made it to the frontlines fast enough to make a difference and one of the things that soldiers did was they would run all of their ammo through the gun just by racking the action to test for swollen rounds that would jam the gun in pcombat and any shells that jammed in the gun were discarded completely so the soldier had rounds tyat had the lowest possible chance to jam so when they charged the enemy trenches and gotten into them they wouldn't have to contend with a jammed gun in a situation where your life depended almost entirely on your ability to fire as many rounds as possible and as fast as you can and a distinct advantage of the Winchester 1897 was the ability to slamfire as it didn't have a traditional trigger disconnect on it so you could hold the trigger down and fire the gun wut just the pump as a crude automatic weapon adding to it's effectiveness in the clkse quarters of a trench it was also said that soldiers who were skilled trapshooters were issued it during world war 1 and could shoot enemy grenades out of the air but there is no records of it happening and it would have been impossible to do at night the biggest difference between the civilian model 1897 and the military one used in both world wars are as follows: the trench grade version has a 20 inch barrel a bayonet lug for use with the model 1917 Enfield bayonet and had a perforated steel heat shield around the barrel so the use can grab it and use it with the bayonet in melee combat without burning their hands all in all the m97 saw extensive use throughout both world wars and even Vietnam for its close range firepower and small size making it ideal for use in trenches or tunnels before being phased out for more modern shotguns
