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.

Thanks for the input
 
The Coonan is an awsome 1911, of all my 1911, my best one is definitly my Les Baer followed closely by my Coonan...
I prefer it to all the rest, DanWesson /Colt Gold Cup/ Sig Nightmare round butt... JP.

Put 100 rounds through mine on Friday…. Felt like I was trying to hang on to an exploding grenade. Lol! Seriously though, it was very cool. Only issues so far are some FTF problems. I'm hoping this is something that will be rectified by proper maintenance and a break in period of both pistol and the magazines (as stated in the manual). Thanks Gary and Wanstalls!! Cheers.
 
I put 21 through mine and only had one FTE. I expected it to be quite dirty but it wasn't. I wonder if the duckbill is what's required to make the signature flame rings?
It was quite enjoyable to shoot. I found it way lighter and quieter than I was expecting. I don't find .357 much of a kick in my 586 revolver though so that helps.
 
It do break in rather nicely, after 100+ rounds mine, is silky smooth and is perfectly operating, i found out mags are rather stiff, they need the breaking period, the pistol by itself is a work of art, is a verry accurate and this trigger is awesome...
This 1911 is very high on my list of 1911, just behind my Les Baer...
Nothing like accurate fast and raw power, a winning combination .... JP.:rockOn:
 
It feels like this gun will benefit a full length guide rod... Is that an available option, or would it void warranty if I install one myself?
 
In the beginning you will get a few failures to feed. But after about 100 or so rounds it will, as mentioned already, come into it's own. Beautiful gun to shoot and one of my favorites to talk about to the interested.
 
Hopefully I'll get back out to the range soon to put more rounds through the beast. I'll post how the break in is coming along and if I am still experiencing issues. Cheers.
 
150 rounds through mine, perfect ! no issues whatsoever, I have the aluminum grips, love them. Gun came with regular wood installed, switched them off for the aluminum, makes the grip a tad narrower, smaller. Great for me. Love this gun ! Order one and you wont be disappointed.
