The Coonan Compact, like the Classic version, contains several components that are interchangeable with the 1911, but much of the pistol is composed of proprietary parts. After looking over the specifications for this new gun, I just had to give it a try. But not too long ago, the Coonan Compact version started shipping.
In 2013, the company launched a compensated version featuring a 5.7" threaded barrel with a removable muzzle break. In 2009, they brought back the original 5" barrel version of the pistol, calling it the Classic. But lo and behold, at SHOT Show a couple of years ago, I learned that Dan Coonan, the original designer, had since teamed up with Dave Neville and Gordy Davis to form Coonan, Inc. Built here in the U.S., it was my understanding that this pistol (using a design that predates the Desert Eagle) went out of production in the mid 1990s. The other one is the Coonan, a recoil-operated semi-auto pistol based on the M1911 so many American shooters know and love. One is the beefy gas piston operated Desert Eagle pistol, which is currently manufactured by Magnum Research here in the United States. But there are at least two semi-automatics that have gone into full production. 357? Because this cartridge is fairly long, rimmed and generates a relatively high level of pressure (35,000 psi Max), it has remained for the most part a revolver and rifle round. The cartridge performs well from bolt-action and lever-action carbines, making it a solid choice for hunting small and medium game at moderate ranges.īut what about semi-auto pistols chambered in. can be found in compact snub-nosed concealed carry revolvers as well as full-sized wheel guns for duty use, competition and hunting. Despite being more than 80 years old, the team that designed it (Elmer Keith played a key role) succeeded in creating a cartridge which has only improved with time.
It was the first full-throttle revolver round to join my shooting set years ago and has remained a favorite ever since. I should start off by admitting that I’m a dyed-in-the-wool fan of the.
