The Badlander series just got a little badder, to borrow from 80’s vernacular. The Heritage Badlander Nickel adds a bold new finish to the side-by-side shotgun lineup, bringing a new take on the classic 12-gauge coach gun.
Heritage Badlander Nickel
We brought you coverage of the launch of the Badlander series back in December 2023. The line represented an economical, yet well executed, line of coach guns with serious Old West flair. The guns featured 18.5-inch barrels, twin triggers and a break-action design. Now Heritage doubles down on the classic double, with a nickel finish built to handle any kind of weather, wrapped in a head-turning look.

- Turkish walnut furniture
- Twin triggers for classic double-barrel action
- Sturdy brass bead sight
“The Badlander in nickel isn’t just a new finish—it’s a statement,” said Heritage Manufacturing Product Designer, Josh Cooper. “It preserves everything that made the original a standout and adds a layer of polish that turns heads at the range or in your collection.”
Whether shooting Cowboy Action matches or used as a utilitarian defender, truck gun or camp gun, the Badlander Nickel delivers. For less than a grand, it’s worth a look.
Editor’s Take:
Taurus/Rossi and Heritage continue their recent ascendency, putting together designs the shooting public want at prices most can afford. We’ve been really impressed with their product lines in recent years. In fact, we just spent a day on the range, putting tons of rounds downrange. So stay tuned, more information on new products will be coming very soon!
