Just got a Coonan .357 mag and have taken it out to the range. Nice gun, no problems. Grip is long but that's expected. On yeah!

Very cool. What do these currently cost?

How long ago did you order it? My FIL is waiting on one too.

Keiths had a handful of them in the showcase for a couple months. Depending on model they looked to be $1,000-$1,400.

You could get a hi-point and load it like a .357 magnum. fiddy bucks I think

Nice. I've noticed those. How does it compare to a Desert Eagle XIX in .357 magnum ?

I ordered it Monday from a vendor at GunBroker, shipped it to ARPC (yep, they have an FFL) & arrived Thursday. Price on GunBroker was $1419; with shipping and 3 percent charge for credit card it was a bit over $1500.

just a warning. coonan is a member of the anti-gun group "evolve".

when you buy a coonan you are giving money to a company which is trying to take away your gun rights.

I had an original model B. Nice workmanship, easy to shoot with 158 grain loads. 125 grain Remington's were a bit more recoil, about on par with a .45 ACP. The downside is that it really is only a novelty gun. It's big, heavy and has limited magazine capacity. Parts and magazines are proprietary. If you want .357 Magnum power in an automatic, get a .357 SIG. Here is a vid of me shooting mine. As a unique collectible and just plain fun to shoot gun, it's great.
