@@CHEECHMUN Exactly, That's like a Ferrari and a Chevy Nova getting together to take a few laps around willow springs. Just because you have a TH-cam Channel doesn't make you an A lister.
My Henry Big Boy ups the .38Special/.357 Magnum power & speed due to the longer barrel allowing for more complete powder burn & no barrel/cylinder gap.
MinuteBracelet finally chronographed mine the other day. 6" coonan. On lightweight projectiles; like 110 and 125g, there's a big jump over advertised velocity. 158grainers always run about 100fps less than advertised regardless of brand. Hope this helps.
@Cliff Yablonski except you'd have to buy 357 sig ammo. I have a wide variety of 38/357 revolvers and carbines, so something like this would be a great addition. Besides, if I was considering a 357 sig, I'd just grab a glock 10mm
The only place you are gonna find one nowadays is the used market. Coonan Inc went bust and they auctioned off all the shop equipment in December. Great gun, bad businessman that took a bunch of people to the cleaners and didn't deliver product that they paid for already.
I've watched almost all his videos he's a living legend an at the age of a smooth humble man like Jerry when he says wooooaahhhh get some makes me think of him as straight BAD ASS!!!!! Thanks for your excitement Jerr keep the vids rolling
Jerry, when I watch your vids I feel like I’m watching Jeff Cooper or one of the other legends of the gun world. They’re funny, entertaining, informative, but very much rewarding because I know one day I’ll look back and remember ‘back in the day’ when I used to watch JM on TH-cam. Keep on doin sir!
Some may give you grief about missing a couple of the first shots from this gun, but none of us who've actually fired one before. Like you said, that's a lot of horse power. I know that my first shots out of mine were accurate, but I wasn't pushing for speed on the first magazine. I love my Coonan, very accurate, fast and POWERFUL! Great video and as always, great shooting.
Many, many years ago when those big C-band satellite dishes were popular, every Thursday night I watched a show called "The Shootin Show" with Johnny Rowland. I remember him doing a test of the Coonan 357. I went to a gun show after gun show trying to find one but never was able to locate one. He also did a test of the Grendel P30. 22 mag with 30 rd clips. I found one at a gun show and bought it with 3 clips. I'd say that was early to mid 90's, maybe? Anyway, I still have it. That is one gun I'll never willingly turn loose of. Johnny also played several videos of you way back then shooting that revolver. That's how long I've known you. I really miss that show. I had every show on VHS. There was some guy from perhaps West Point Johnny played videos of. He talked about the history of firearms and cannons use in wartime. Seeing you here on TH-cam, Mr. Miculec, really brings back some great memories.
It's always amazing how much higher quality Miculek videos are than any of the other gun channels..... better info, better video quality, and a better shooter/host....... thanks for making these.
I was looking for some info on the Coonan 357. I found your video. That was a great review. I love the history behind the .357. Thank you for taking the time to review and educate us. You are an incredible shot! Thanks again..
I've always felt a need for a Coonan .357, as it would be a pleasure to shoot this cartridge in various platforms, although these autos aren't readily available in my local market area. Seems to me the .357 magnum in Desert Eagle is more obtainable, but it is so heavy. Thanks for the short history of this caliber's origins. I guess I am not too old to learn afterall.
william roberts. The Desert Eagle is heavier and the trigger is mushy and crappy (I have one). That I know of there is no aftermarket triggers and the sights are mediocre. I hold on to mine only as curiosity.
You're not doing too awful bad if you have to settle for a Smith 686. Thats my favorite by the way. I also wanted a Coonan way back when, then I heard too many bad things about it.
The DE looks sweet, but its handle is too fat (unless you got Shaq hands) to get a comfortable grip on ,plus it's big n heavy . It's more of a status/ Gangster gun, really. Might as well get it gold-plated !
Billy Rey Rillon think he did it a time it two ! I remember seeing him shoot live back in the day. It was inhuman how accurate and fast he is and still is !
@Billy Rey Rillon - if he ever unloaded on someone with it, there would be a basketball size hole where your chest used to be. That shot group was SICK!
The gun is a bit heavier than a standard 1911 45acp, but that, along with some of the kinetic force geting dispersed by the springs instead of going directly to your wrists like in a revolver, helps handling the .357 a lot more easier. It's a really good gun. I'm glad I finally saw a pro firing it this fast, tho. That was indeed impressive 👍
Bought one last year and had a blast shooting it. Went through ammo too fast because it's that fun to shoot. it also ejects shells pretty far so make sure if you are at the range you are on the farthest lane to the right or someone might get hit by one
Well that's how a normal arm looks as long as you avoid the average American diet. A double cheeseburger with an extra large soda and all that is left is some fat rolls on ur arms.
Awesome content! Love my Taurus Tracker in .357 I've even dropped a couple white tail with it.. I carry 10mm autos for self defense but always wanted to find a .357 autoloader to carry. Ive even been told that there is no such thing as a .357 auto by gun shops.. I knew that was BS.. Thank you for this review!
Jerry Miculek is a treasure to all who support & enjoy firearms. Thanks for the awesome content Jerry. I hope I can meet you in person some day, it would be an honor.
Looks like you were able to make both hits present as just one on that first plate. Jerry, you never disappoint, and you never fail to amaze me. Thank you for the entertaining, and educational distraction from all this. Truly appreciate you.

I AM A BIG FAN OF THE 357 MAG BUT WITH ONLY A 7 ROUND MAG,I WENT WITH THE GLOCK 31 357 SIG WITH 15 ROUND MAG,1/3 THE PRICE OF THE COONAN,AND I AM GETTING 1500 FPS WITH 125 GRAIN HAND LOADS AND VERY ACCURATE.WITH 1/3 THE PRICE OF THE COONAN 357 MAG,I WAS ABLE TO BUY A GLOCK 20 1OMM TOO AND HOLSTERS EXTRA MAGS AND AMMO FOR BOTH GUNS,357 SIG AND 10MM.ALL THAT SAID,I DO CARRY A 5 SHOT 357 MAG IN MY TRUCK FOR SELF DEFENCE.I USE ONLY UNDERWOOD AMMO AS MY CARRY LOADS.
I've seen that pistol in one magazine and wanted one. Back in the six, while policing, I carried the S&W model 19 357 combat magnum and loved it. Thanks for renewing this one. It does add a little kick to your "get some".
WOW! Watched Hickok45 yesterday shooting the same pistol. Glad to see Jerry’s take on the same pistol. Very interesting and informative perspectives. Both shot 158 gr. If you can find this pistol it’s gonna be expensive. MSP starts $1500-1600 and goes up.
This is my first time seeing the Coonan 357 Magnum and it looks like it has a good amount of power and I enjoy watching your videos. I always learn a lot. Thank You
S&W all the way since the mid 1990's. Just won a Ruger SR 1911 April 7th and sold it so I can get the wife the 357 she wants. However forgive us for taking advantage of the situation and going for the American made Henry Big Boy Brass Carbine 16.5 barrel 357 magnum. A great compliment to the S&W 357/38 Special she loves. We really enjoy watching your videos Jerry! Keep em coming! Thank You!
My favorite Mitchell egg video is when you were shooting those purple cabbages I want to say with the S&W 500 Nitro OMG best video ever you went down into detail explaining how to explode the entire cabbage and those cans of hominy
Wow!!! You the man Jerry. I know it's your job to make it look easy, but do you have to make it look that easy??? That Coonan SS looks real nice. No hiccups straight out of the box. I'll thought the grip might be too big with the long .357 cartridges but you seemed to have no no dramas. It's nice watching a genius at work/play,
Love your personality and elaboration on the history of the 357 concept. I am between this gun and the Desert Eagle 357 L5 model. So happy to have found this channel, I definitely subscribed, and liked, before even realized there was a giveaway.
Jerry I have heard ex military instructors on here saying the worse defence weapon you can carry is a 1911 because under stress the person will forget to drop the safety but since I started carrying one in 1987 and have never failed to drop my thumb safety I thought I would turn to the best in the business for comment. I went through the East Texas Police Academy in 1987 I've had to draw it under very stressful situations twice but I'm so glad I had to pull the trigger but I never forgot the thumb safety
Your videos always give great info. I have always loved to shoot, and now my wife and daughter are very much into shooting. We learn so much from all your videos. Thank you.
The like to dislike spread on this is amazing. 9k to 29 that's 29/9,000 and it's earned for sure. Jerry is really modest about his skill too. Just a joy to watch.
Just for pure curiosity, if the 38 special can be fired out of 357 magnum chambered revolvers. Can you toss 38 special in a coonan and hypothetically use it? Of course, if thats even possible the gun probably wouldnt cycle because of the low pressure.
Thank you Jerry, I can always count on you to give us the straight poop, I am searching out the semi auto 357. I'm new in this, I just saw the sig 357 ammo, not at all same as what you just shot. I have have my search plan for the day. Thanks again
My brother collects these specialty guns,he has the coonan 357,then he has a 44 automag, and several of the old AMT auto mags recently he is obsessed with these magnum research BFR revolvers,after I bought 2 of them one in 4570 the other 450 marlin,and immediately sold both to him,I'm more traditional, I like my S&W 29 classic ruger security 6 and all the ruger Blackhawk models,
I was unaware that anybody other than Sig or Glock made a semi auto 357, and this one shoots full rimmed cartridges? That's terrific for the average shooter. Thank you, great video!!!
Yes, we have drooled over the Coonan 1911 in .357 mag. The only bad thing about it for us is the price. We love the .357 mags. In the revolvers cause we can switch ammo out to .38 special and .38 shot shell. If you wouldn’t mind, would you tell me or show if the coonan 1911 in .357 mag. would shoot a .38 shot shell, please?
Been interested in one of these for a few years. But i live in Kalifornia, so.......Nice to see it perform. The print articles have been very positive. Thank you, Jerry
Good shootin' Mr. Miculek! The first law enforcement agency that was armed with .357 Magnum as their standard issue weapon was the Mississippi Highway Patrol. The patrol was founded in 1935. When it was formed, the were only about 40 some officers, & each one was issued a new 1935 Ford V-8 & a Smith & Wesson Registered .357 Magnum revolver.

I love how he almost sounds apologetic for “only” shooting that cartridge through that platform 6 times on three targets in 0.99 seconds. 😂👍
The Coonan has way more horsepower than any 357 revolvers mostly because of the cylinder gap. The increase in velocity is also impressive.
My Henry Big Boy ups the .38Special/.357 Magnum power & speed due to the longer barrel allowing for more complete powder burn & no barrel/cylinder gap.
Thats only one load, there are lots of loads known to gain more than 500fps in a 357 carbine.
With a proper cylinder gap the loss of fps should be minimal.
MinuteBracelet finally chronographed mine the other day. 6" coonan. On lightweight projectiles; like 110 and 125g, there's a big jump over advertised velocity. 158grainers always run about 100fps less than advertised regardless of brand. Hope this helps.

My brother collects these specialty guns,he has the coonan 357,then he has a 44 automag, and several of the old AMT auto mags recently he is obsessed with these magnum research BFR revolvers,after I bought 2 of them one in 4570 the other 450 marlin,and immediately sold both to him,I'm more traditional, I like my S&W 29 classic ruger security 6 and all the ruger Blackhawk models,
I was interested to see how this gun shot and operated. Thanks Jerry for giving us some hands on time with it.
I was unaware that anybody other than Sig or Glock made a semi auto 357, and this one shoots full rimmed cartridges? That's terrific for the average shooter. Thank you, great video!!!
Yep and is 100% right. Hopefully we are not going to see a plastic gun in this magnum caliber in the near future.
@@solarflare1008 Correct!!!
I realize that it's not in production any more, but what about the LAR Grizzly? I have the gun in 45 Win Mag and a conversion kit in 357 Mag.
You are the best Jerry I enjoy watching you shoot 🔫!
Yes, we have drooled over the Coonan 1911 in .357 mag. The only bad thing about it for us is the price. We love the .357 mags. In the revolvers cause we can switch ammo out to .38 special and .38 shot shell. If you wouldn’t mind, would you tell me or show if the coonan 1911 in .357 mag. would shoot a .38 shot shell, please?
Loving the original videos never heard of a .357 semi auto before
Been interested in one of these for a few years. But i live in Kalifornia, so.......Nice to see it perform. The print articles have been very positive. Thank you, Jerry
I am glad to see 357 in semi auto. Thanks
Good shootin' Mr. Miculek! The first law enforcement agency that was armed with .357 Magnum as their standard issue weapon was the Mississippi Highway Patrol. The patrol was founded in 1935. When it was formed, the were only about 40 some officers, & each one was issued a new 1935 Ford V-8 & a Smith & Wesson Registered .357 Magnum revolver.
You’re a great shooter and a very positive role model for our sport.
I Have always enjoyed Jerry's video's , I have seen him in several Outdoor channels shooting program's and would like to meet him one day.
Great shooting Jerry you are the best,
I love that gun and the 357 has always been a awesome round
I love seeing a guy who can hit 3 targets with 6 slugs UNDER 1 second! It's one thing to talk guns and another to DO!
You are a wealth of knowledge!!!!! That's a Suburban door. Circa 1999 or so.
