Where flat-shooting pistols really shine
Coonan .357 and other flat shooting handguns really shine in the desert. They weigh less than rifles yet cover a decent range for defense. Towards the South of our country, that may be a serious consideration. A pistol in 10mm … Continue reading
Some of us *are* compensating…
…for the muzzle flip from 1600fps of muzzle velocity!

For the pint-sized defender…
…a half-gallon hat and a Coonan Cadet. Pity this reduced scale pistol is discontinued for now, but it may come back in the future. It uses shorter magazines than the standard model but still holds the save seven rounds. The … Continue reading

If you can’t afford a rifle…

Yet another downtrodden, exploited female in obvious distress.
Coonan .357 Magnum pistol in use

You betcha!
Coonan .357 automatic
Coonan | Sideguard | Larger photos My interest in Coonan pistols was accidental. John Paul of JP Rifles mentioned him and let me photograph an old one from his collection. I then had a chance to fire a current pistol … Continue reading
.357 Magnum in an auto pistol
While in Minnesota, I got to introduce Arne Boberg to Dan Coonan. Dan’s .357 autoloader is only fractionally larger than an M1911, holds the same seven rounds and runs either 38spl or 357mag. I was always curious why people liked … Continue reading
