Why get a Coonan?

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Oleg Volk

The most common comment made by people who tried it the first time has been: “It’s like shooting a laser!” I found it easy to make 50 yard hits on steel plates.

I don’t work for them, I am just a fan.

    Awesome. I have yet to fire a “laser guided bullet”, but planned on possibly putting one on my AR-15 M4A4…

    I really liked the one you brought to Knoxville, although I’d have to have a heck of a good belt and holster to keep it from pulling my pants down. That’s a pretty big chunk of steel.

    You are becoming a bad influence. I really don’t need one of these and don’t have room on my want list for it. But it sure would be a nice compliment to my 3 .357 revolvers.

    It’s gonna be interesting when your shooter gets promoted to the bench…

    You really need to stop posting pictures of Coonan pistols. My budgeting skills only have so much self control…

    You got wind of a nomination in the works?

    Handled a few of these. Even the base level pistol has a good trigger and a nice quality of metalwork.

    What is it about the Coonan that makes it such an accurate shot. I’ve been looking at getting a .357 for some time now and this is very tempting. It doesn’t take some specialty round that makes it impossible to get bulk ammo for does it?

      They recommend standard 125gr or 158-gr jacketed ammunition. Accuracy comes from the excellent pivoting trigger and the fact that it fires all rounds from the same chamber, not from six different chambers like a revolver. Also, no cylinder gap means slightly higher muzzle velocity and less noise.
