What to Know

Critic Consensus

To make the .357 cartage fit, the grip frame is a bit longer than a standard 1911. It is not so big that it didnt fit my hand, but it did feel different. The extra .25 inch is added to an already robust 1911 style grip. Read critic reviews...

Coonan Compact Critic Reviews

Coonan Compact Description

The 1911/Browning Hi-Power hybrid Coonan pistol has proven to be a solid platform to feed the rimmed .357 Magnum cartridge, due to some magazine and pistol innovations. There is little arguing the .357 Magnum is a potent round for self-defense or even medium game hunting, and I believe the autoloader has some advantages over the revolver. With a similar-sized revolver, you are going to have one or two more round capacities with the Compact and the speed of reloading from a magazine. With an autoloader and the reciprocating mass of the slide working against the recoil spring, you will have some diminished perceived recoil. While the Coonan Classic is a fine pistol, being full-sized it is not as conducive for concealed carry as the Compact. After some 350 rounds downrange from standard ball to defensive rounds, the Compact gave no problems and was plenty accurate for its purpose. I would see this pistol serving very well as a concealed carry pistol for the town or the trail.
