Dan Coonan was challenged with; “you can’t make a 1911 style .357 magnum.”
He did.
And once you fire one with buffalo bore ammo and see 1800+ fps. You’ll be hooked! The long slide action is smooth. Is accurate as can be and the felt recoil is negligible compared to 230 grain .45.
Over penetration is a potential issue. So is BBQ’ing your target with the muzzle blast. At 21’ the muzzle blast blows the paper target.
P.s. Upgrade with wolf springs.

And now that it's out of production (again), the .357 Coonan mags are around $200 each! If I ever get around to it, I may try a poor man's substitute (.400 CorBon or 10mm Auto ;>) to scratch my Coonan itch...
