    I have been eyeballing one for many years. I figured I would finally try one. I got it for my retirement gift to myself.

    I don't know why I didn't pick one up years ago. If your a 357 fan this is the gun.

    It's the softest shooting 357 I have ever shot.

    Muzzle flip is the only thing to be dealt with and that is easy.

    125 full house loads scream out with ease. 158' s. Have a bit more flip but no affect to the web of your hand.

    Initial range session 50 rounds 125 and 50 158's no after effects to hand what so ever.

    I was able to pick it up at 90's price. It was a display model. Never fired. In pristine condition.

    Matching , fit and finsh top grade.
    The trigger is soooo nice. It doesn't need to be worked at all.

    I hope they get reorganized so I can find a couple more mags and maybe the comp barrel.


    I would not hesitate to think about thier compact model.

    If I had tried one years ago I may never have invested in revolvers
    Who am I kidding, lol.

    Seriously they should have concentrated those marketing on how soft it is to shoot and how wonderfully accurate it is.


    All I can say is WOW!!!!!!

    Try one if you ever get the chance.

    I’ve been a fan for many years but after shooting one I’m still just a fan. That money can get you a better firearm.
    I was able to pick it up for a great deal
    Way under the prices on GB.

    A better gun? I would venture to say that is a personal observation . I enjoy the 357 magnum cartridge . This is by far the softest shooting 357 I have ever shot and the option of a quick reload is undeniable. There is nothing else like it in this cartridge except for the desert eagle and that is a huge bulky gun. This coonan is just slightly larger than a standard 1911 and provides more for pounds of down range energy.

    The coonan is proving to be a very accurate gun.

    So for me this is money well spent.

    Another great day at the range. The 39+p. Shoot like a 22lr out of this gun. Super accurate.
    Even with 357 it's still so amazing at how soft it shoots.

    I am going to hunt down the compact version.

    I also want the comp 6 inch barrel for the full size gun.

    Dan this gun is fun.

    It makes shooting 357 like 9mm.

    Cant wait for the end of month and retirement. I have to start some serious reloading.
