Article: 1:14 Well, I've just read my 3rd and most comprehensive review on Jeff Coonan's 7 shot .357 auto. Suffice to say, I've decided that I WANT ONE. The latest review in February's Guns&Ammo points out some interesting facts that I was unaware of before. One: The Coonan develops around 100 FPS *MORE* velocity than the same round fired from a S&W Revolver (forget the model) with an 8 inch barrel! Why? No flash gap.. Two: The gun is about as accurate as an untuned Colt Government and fed around 15 different types of ammo (including Federal) with no stoppages. Even LOW POWER ammo cycles this thing! (try THAT with an IMI Desert Eagle!). I imagine the accuracy could be improved in many ways that a Government can because they're build around almost identical lines, the changes being in scale of parts (and stainless steel) Has anyone out there got one? How did you get it? I can't find one anywhere! Inquiring minds want to know!! Jordan
