The protection of the mail, passengers and their belongings was a priority for these coaching companies and the gunmakers of Ireland supplied a variety of coaching pistols and carbines in order that this facilicity was met. By this date, 1831, the blunderbuss had been superseded by the double barrelled carbine.
