Drove 30 minutes to a local indoor range wanting to have some fun with my new Coonan .357 mag and was so excited that I forgot the ammo at home and the gun store was fresh out of .357 mag ammo..........what a bummer.
I have both of the new models....Love them both. Not good for you if you have small hands. Like Rodentman said, it likes heavier loads. I load for mine and if you reload 125 grain it has to be at the top limit or it won't cycle well. I haven't changed out springs for it to shoot .38 and...
I second the Hornady XTP 124s. I had problems with everything but those..after I loaded up a about 500 rounds I quit loading it cause I don't even shoot it anymore.
For most of the reasons people are saying above (Gander, Cabela's, Bass Pro etc) they are the reason that the mom and pop shops will stay around. They are the only ones getting and selling used guns. Plus, most mom and pop shops can sell below retail because they don't have a 25,0000 sq ft...
Full size Coonan .357 mag..strong side hip. Covered more than concealed because I usually carry it when I have a sweatshirt on in the winter. I'll carry it in the summer if I'm wearing a long shirt untucked. I'm 6'1 and 260 so it's not "too" heavy as I usually carry a full size 1911 when not...
I don't buy factory rounds and haven't in about 3 years or more since I started reloading. G.I. can's that are labeled and that's about it. If I find some great deal at a gun show and do buy some I could care less how the look or what packaging they are in as long as they go boom.

Here's my premise: It's been well established that handguns are under-powered as anti personnel weapons. If one were to be forced to knowingly go into harm's way, he would want to carry a long gun because rifles and carbines have much greater power and they literally do drop people in...
I have thought about thinning the herd. I have two boys that are 10 and 7 and they love to shoot with me and they've already staked claim on the ones they want. (no arguing cause they both chose different types of guns) so I'll only keep them because they want them. I don't get to shoot as...
We have that same arrangement if it comes down to it. Normally, we take turns buying things we want and then when it comes to her buying jewlery then I get to spend half of what it cost. Have never had a problem.
+1 on the Vortex Diamonback. I just bought 2 and will be putting them on my other rifles as well. Clear, easy adjustments and if anything ever happens to them, I'll get free replacements.
