.357 magnum 1911 Anyone????

Last I heard is new shipment expected in February/March next year. Get in line haha I'm definitely pre-ordering one!!!
 
I got mine in Drayton Valley Alberta of all places a year ago December and paid 1600... I've seen them at a few places now for an astronomical price of 2250 for the stainless..... the 1450 price is well worth it as it is fun as all hell and my favorite handgun I own. They are interchangeable for .38 but I've had issues with the rounds feeding properly through them with that caliber ammo.... also stay away from the .357 blazer ammo with these puppies, couldn't do consecutive shots with that ammo.... all in all wicked piece of hardware
 
hahaha the advertising for this is priceless

Definitely a fun gun to shoot. Shooting it in 357 has been flawless for me. No issues at all.

I haven't got it to cycle with 38 sp either though. # For 38, I picked up a 6 lb spring to try (it comes with 8 lb spring from factory) so we'll see if that makes a difference. I spoke with someone at Coonan and they said with the 8lb spring it is set up for 38 sp+p, and if you wanted it more dedicated to lower power 38 sp, there are some other mods that will help (eg, lighter mainspring).
 
It was between The FNH FNX 45 Tactical and the Coonan, i went with the 45... 357 mag is great but there is something about that big 230 gr bullet that is kind of mythical about it... JP.

That is VERY cool! If I wasn't bailing on my restricteds, I'd consider on of these. Not to mention this wouldn't do any favors for my wrists.

It is an auto. Recoil is really not that bad and the spring soaks up any jarring impact. Noticeably less than a 6" 686.

How durable / reliable are these pistols? And how hard would it be to order parts for them or the wait time for parts I wonder?

I have not heard of any durability problems yet, and I did a far amount of research on this before I bought. There are a number around in the us so I'm sure if there were problems, we'd hear rumblings.

The previous gen pistol was a finicky about ammo. The current model, less so. So far I have never had a cycling problem with factory american eagle or Remington. You can swap the recoil spring for 38 spec. but you need 38 +p for it to work.

Note however, that Coonan say no aluminum cased ammo on the website and I've seen videos that confirm if doesn't work well.

In terms of part, a number are the same as standard 1911s.
 
Got one on order yesterday, Thanks to Gary at Wanstalls, I had the first version of the Coonan in the 80's, absolutely loved it. Cant wait to get it! having this on order will help me get through the winter :)
