@Cliff Yablonski except you'd have to buy 357 sig ammo. I have a wide variety of 38/357 revolvers and carbines, so something like this would be a great addition. Besides, if I was considering a 357 sig, I'd just grab a glock 10mm

The only place you are gonna find one nowadays is the used market. Coonan Inc went bust and they auctioned off all the shop equipment in December. Great gun, bad businessman that took a bunch of people to the cleaners and didn't deliver product that they paid for already.

@@CHEECHMUN Exactly, That's like a Ferrari and a Chevy Nova getting together to take a few laps around willow springs. Just because you have a KZbin Channel doesn't make you an A lister.

[@magicdaveable]

The Coonan has way more horsepower than any 357 revolvers mostly because of the cylinder gap. The increase in velocity is also impressive.

[@doughesson]

My Henry Big Boy ups the .38Special/.357 Magnum power & speed due to the longer barrel allowing for more complete powder burn & no barrel/cylinder gap.

[@corvairkid17]

Thats only one load, there are lots of loads known to gain more than 500fps in a 357 carbine.

[@MinuteBracelet]

With a proper cylinder gap the loss of fps should be minimal.

[@corvairkid17]

MinuteBracelet finally chronographed mine the other day. 6" coonan. On lightweight projectiles; like 110 and 125g, there's a big jump over advertised velocity. 158grainers always run about 100fps less than advertised regardless of brand. Hope this helps.

[@MinuteBracelet]

[@arapahoetactical7749]

Some may give you grief about missing a couple of the first shots from this gun, but none of us who've actually fired one before. Like you said, that's a lot of horse power. I know that my first shots out of mine were accurate, but I wasn't pushing for speed on the first magazine. I love my Coonan, very accurate, fast and POWERFUL!

Jerry, when I watch your vids I feel like I’m watching Jeff Cooper or one of the other legends of the gun world. They’re funny, entertaining, informative, but very much rewarding because I know one day I’ll look back and remember ‘back in the day’ when I used to watch JM on KZbin. Keep on doin sir!

[@ValkyrieRiderIPT]

Many, many years ago when those big C-band satellite dishes were popular, every Thursday night I watched a show called "The Shootin Show" with Johnny Rowland. I remember him doing a test of the Coonan 357. I went to a gun show after gun show trying to find one but never was able to locate one. He also did a test of the Grendel P30. 22 mag with 30 rd clips. I found one at a gun show and bought it with 3 clips. I'd say that was early to mid 90's, maybe? Anyway, I still have it. That is one gun I'll never willingly turn loose of. Johnny also played several videos of you way back then shooting that revolver. That's how long I've known you. I really miss that show. I had every show on VHS. There was some guy from perhaps West Point Johnny played videos of. He talked about the history of firearms and cannons use in wartime. Seeing you here on KZbin, Mr. Miculec, really brings back some great memories.

[@wRobertsii]

I've always felt a need for a Coonan .357, as it would be a pleasure to shoot this cartridge in various platforms, although these autos aren't readily available in my local market area. Seems to me the .357 magnum in Desert Eagle is more obtainable, but it is so heavy. Thanks for the short history of this caliber's origins. I guess I am not too old to learn afterall.

[@thelastneanderthal3171]

william roberts. The Desert Eagle is heavier and the trigger is mushy and crappy (I have one). That I know of there is no aftermarket triggers and the sights are mediocre. I hold on to mine only as curiosity.

[@minerblue9641]

You're not doing too awful bad if you have to settle for a Smith 686. Thats my favorite by the way. I also wanted a Coonan way back when, then I heard too many bad things about it.

[@sonnyd2370]

Order if from the maker..

[@johngraves1216]

get a 10mm it is more powerful than the .357 mag with modern loads. if you choose norma spec loads (old school) it is basically a .41 magnum in power

[@aaronhumphrey2009]

The DE looks sweet, but its handle is too fat (unless you got Shaq hands) to get a comfortable grip on ,plus it's big n heavy . It's more of a status/ Gangster gun, really. Might as well get it gold-plated !

[@aeromedical6750]

@Billy Rey Rillon - if he ever unloaded on someone with it, there would be a basketball size hole where your chest used to be. That shot group was SICK!

[@Малэволензэ]

The gun is a bit heavier than a standard 1911 45acp, but that, along with some of the kinetic force geting dispersed by the springs instead of going directly to your wrists like in a revolver, helps handling the .357 a lot more easier. It's a really good gun. I'm glad I finally saw a pro firing it this fast, tho. That was indeed impressive 👍

Jerry I have heard ex military instructors on here saying the worse defence weapon you can carry is a 1911 because under stress the person will forget to drop the safety but since I started carrying one in 1987 and have never failed to drop my thumb safety I thought I would turn to the best in the business for comment. I went through the East Texas Police Academy in 1987 I've had to draw it under very stressful situations twice but I'm so glad I had to pull the trigger but I never forgot the thumb safety
