I understand that Coonan Inc has stepped up their production rates in the last year. No more long waits.
I've been finding more and more brass on the action type ranges....spread out in patterns and radius' that make me speculate that they are seeing more time in shooters hands than ever before. I've heard now of several other members at my local range owning them and being very satisfied with the level of reliability and performance.
I've owned alot of Magnumatics.....this one hits the top of the heap, and scores points in every major category. *Reliable, accurate, good trigger, and fun factor.
I've only ever had a small handful of jams and that was because of my reloading *I failed to resize the case back to factory dimensions but otherwise "flawless" with .357
The LAR Grizzly only has it beat because its more accurate, has never had a single hiccup and the "fun factor" is ridiculous.
I would only suggest that the Grizz loses in any comparison because its just so ungainly in terms of grip size. The Coonan is far more manageable.
I've had mine for the better part of a year now.
The .38 spl spring it came with was seemingly useless at first
*it didn't want to cycle factory ammo even after doubling the prescribed break in number of rounds.....and then I discovered a reload that worked insanely well with it.
now I've got a flamethrower when I want to shoot the HotStuff.....and a total pussycat when I want to plink and focus on that crispy nice trigger.
If you haven't had a chance to try one yet.....dont be afraid to grab a box at the range if someone offers to let you go a few rounds with her.
She won't disappoint you.
