Nice - I have a Glock 29 as my concealed carry.

Last weekend I put a few rounds through one of these:-





Which was a really strange experience.

I also put lots of rounds through this:-



And I must admit that 7.62 x 25 is an underrated round.

Why so ?

Agreed, as is the 33 itself.

I like Austrian crap. I speak Austrian fluently.

Here are the specs:-


Caliber .357 Magnum / .38 Special
Barrel Length 5 inches
Construction Stainless Steel
Magazine 7 rounds + 1
Weight 42.0 oz. empty / 48 oz loaded
Length 8.3 inches overall
Height 5.6 inches
Width 1.3 inches


Features

Linkless Barrel
Uses standard .357 Magnum ammunition
Recoil operated
Extended slide catch and thumb lock for one-handed operation

I had heard a lot about the Coonan .357 and not all of it good. It is a big gat for sure, but it is accurate and has fairly low perceived recoil. A friend turned up with a brand new, unfired stainless model and I put 3 magazines through it. I was expecting 1911 type recoil and accuracy, but it shot really well considering that it was new and stiff; even the magazine needed a good punch to get it engaged. The reason I said that it was a strange experience was that it is an expensive ($1300), hand-made, auto that has a small magazine capacity and is extremely heavy (48 ounces loaded with 7 rounds of .357 as opposed to around 36 ounces for a Glock 20 loaded with 15 rounds). Despite this I think that I liked it a lot. I'm hoping to shoot it at a more leisurely pace next week and I will confirm my initial thoughts.

Meanwhile here is a link to a write-up on it > Coonan News | News at Coonan Inc.
