Conclusion

Content: Nonetheless, all of these guns have made their way in and out of my purview. I’ve fired them all and carried three of them concealed. All of them piqued the interest of friends at the range. I’ll tell you how friends reacted specifically to each gun, but the guns generally drew smiles, albeit for different reasons. As you know, they each have their strengths and weaknesses and each is definitely unique. 1. Coonan .357 Magnum Classic Stainless (MSRP $1,540)
The Coonan .357 retails for $1,540. Behold, an auto-loading pistol in .357 Magnum, a caliber more popularly known as one of the most formidable self-defense cartridges ever — for a revolver. As you know, .357 Magnum rounds are relatively long and slender compared to typical pistol rounds, so, with the rounds being fed from a magazine, I wondered if Coonan managed to engineer the gun for reliable feeding… Of course, they did. And after I squeeze the trigger on a chambered round, I forgot all about the design that went into feeding the cartridges and gave my full interest to managing the resulting fireworks — a ginormous report and ball of fire.
