This one is a one of a kind handcannon
Hell yes I love that gun
I just realized, this gun channel has some very good camera work. Hickock Sr. of course is great, but John deserves a shout out for sure, he really gets the right angle at the right time. As a viewer, I feel like I'm getting the best possible demo for how the gun shoots, aims, etc. Overall great job team Hickock, keep up the good work!
Absolutely right. Major props to junior, I mean John.
You know this is also a major factor in the feel of the show in that I really feel like I'm there on the range with him. I think that's what we all love about this channel, aside from Hickok45's great sense of humor and overall personality, of course. I always feel like I'm just enjoying a day at the range with my buddy. Life is good. :)
....but I find I keep saying ZOOM John, ZOOM.
I agree the camera quality is really nice, looks great on my big screen!
My only complaint is when Hickock Sr is shooting at paper target and the far out metal targets he needs to ZOOM in so we can see the hits and the effects of the rounds on those targets.
Other than that it is my go to videos on weapons and ammo.
John rules!
“It’s almost always a windage or elevation problem.” 🤣 I love Hickok45’s dry humor.
I scrolled awhile looking for this. I almost gave up and posed it myself lol.
this has to be my favorite. the legendary 357 magnum ammo and the beautifully engineerd Colt 1911 combined into one perfect handgun
agree! best of both worlds.
Yup
Yeah it's more rounds and extra stopping power. No room to complain now.
really, what a combo
This is a COONAN 1911
Anyone else here impressed by his accuracy. I am!
Lots & lots of practice
I thought that he missed on the target till they zoomed in! He’s on point!!
First thing I noticed !! He gots a hell of a aim!!!
Yep he is steady as a moose
Noice shot.
I bought that same exact gun in 2015 for one of my Retirement guns, and have loved it ever since! Ordering it over phone with the factory was very easy and the Rep was super courteous!
Funny thing, the Anti-Gun crowd thinks easy ordering means anyone can legally buy a firearm.
They ignore that an FFL must be on file to establish a sale between a licensed manufacturer and a licensed gun dealer, so you pay for the gun, and the transfer between FFLs occurs, then the end buyer must pass a background check and inscribe a 4473 form and a few other forms etc.
Prohibited persons, felons, cannot legally purchase or own or possess firearms.
@@carminemurray6624 So true! I happen to live in Texas and have had my CHL permit since 1995, so it serves as a replacement for the NICs check, but the firearm still must be shipped from and to an FFL and I must still fill out the BATFE form 4473 in order to take possession. However, I’ve bought so many guns this process is no biggy to me. I shoot my Coonan .357 with magnum, full-power Handloads (1,450 fps 125 Grain Sierra Soft Points) at the range and it is so satisfying, I Fire it much more often than any of my 5 other .357’s. It’s just a hoot and draws lots of range comments and attn. Most fun I had since the pig ate my little sister! 😎🥸🤩

+Prometheus Darkstar yes
"So, we're just gonna shoot some happy little rounds at the target."
don't worry if you miss, you can always just blame it on the sights needing adjustment

Wow couldn't find a better comparison if I tried simply brilliant.
I would like to thank all the 2 Liters for their sacrifice on the Hickok range.
Bet the ants appreciate it too.

I’ve had an obsession with the 1911 since I was about 9 years old, ended up getting a Spartan BB replica by sig, can’t wait to be legal to carry
Good choice. 1911 was my first concealed carry, bought it on my 21st bday. It’s slim and conceals well
Dude you should get the tanfolgio witness or the colt commander. They’re super sick.
Fck it, build one. Free men dont ask for permission

long live the .357 magnum
I know I'm reeeaaally late to the party on this one (and I apologize retroactively for the super-long comment), but HOLY COW, the Coonan! I worked at a gun store from the late 80's to the early 90's, and stared at one of these in the display case for months. I couldn't believe no one bought it, so finally I did, and LOVED it..!! There were stories of issues with them, which is why I think people gawked at it every day, always asking to handle it, but no one taking the plunge. The price might've had something to do with it, plus Para-Ordnance had just recently released their hi-cap 1911 frame kits (full pistols came later), so a lot attention was on those among the 1911-ers, leaving the Coonan to flounder as a curiosity. I shot the hell out of it, and it never once failed to function, and along with my trusty Ruger GP100 with the 6-inch full underlug barrel and target sites, I had two of the best .357 Magnums money could buy, as far as I was concerned... And being a woodworker, I made a new set of grips out of jet black fretboard ebony, on which I did some unusual sorta "checkering", roughly 8 Lpi, with the vertical serrations progressively angled (narrower at the top, wider at the bottom) so they were parallel with the front and back edges of the vaguely trapezoidal grip shape, and the horizontal serrations also progressively spaced, getting further apart as they went lower on the grip, to match the vertical ones and maintain the approximately square shape of the 'checks', each of which had a little circular hollow, or divot, in the middle. Also there was a nickel-sized stainless circle with '357' in the middle of the left grip, and 'MAG' on the right one, and stainless Torx grip screws. They came out really nice, and I actually made several similar sets for friends, all ebony, who wanted custom grips for their various 1911's. One last thing I loved on the Coonan, was the stock extended slide and safety levers, the way they almost meet over the plunger tube, very cool touch. I put better sights and a beavertail grip safety on it, along with an extended mag release, cos of that long reach from those stretched out grips. Damn... Yet another gun I really, really regret selling, along with the GP100, a P7 M13, a 96D Centurion, a 10mm Delta, a Nite-Tac LDA, on and on... If I had a nickel....
You have to admit: The 1911 wins every time in a beauty contest!
Classic!
Shot mine for the first time today. I was stunned on how it tames the round. Amazing mod off the 1911 platform to handle the .357. Highly recommended for the range or novelty enthusiast. Thx Hickok for all the great vids!!!
"I don't deserve that hit, I take it back".
Is there anyone more wholesome than Hickok on UA-cam, hell on the internet ???? I dare you to find someone
“.357 Magnum, Been around since 1935. I remember when they were invented. Ahaha”Always cracking a joke, just like my grandpa, gotta love him lol.
12:50 "a miss is almost always a windage or elevation problem". Ha
I have to remember that for the range.
Excuses excuses
3 years later and it got a laugh outta me haha
@@saltedcashews269In my case it's usually both
How easily those mags loaded. THATS the true engineering genius here. 😂
being a 357m owner i allways wondered if a semi auto in 357 could be made to handle such a big shell. i'm impressed. love 2 have 1 but not at that price. i'll keep my revolver. 357M RULES!!!!!!
Just bought another .357 revolver. Something about it is simply pleasing.
Desert Eagle makes a Baby Eagle in .357. A smaller version of their .44 magnum.
Samuel Adams what a world where .357 magnum is a baby round
This is a sweet gun there us also a 1911 38. super it's also a sweet rare gem
I'm 5'8 165 lbs...44 mag guy here....something about something when u pull that monster out...is somewhat equal to the crowds face on the range when you pull out a ak or furnished Ar15...its just scary.....🤪
1911 .357 look just like an 45 in Hickoks hands...
This firearm is very rare! Perfect for conceal carry.
$1400-$2270 that's the only problem I have with the gun!
Cheapest model here in Aus (the Classic) is $2167 USD
Aus?..Australia? I thought firearms where completly illegal there
+Big Mike Nope. Can still get AR15s, AKs, SCARs etc just have to have the license to get them.
Ah I see...I love how the american liberal media says otherwise lol
What are the requirements of obtaining the license?
The coonan is my favorite 1911 style gun because I love the .357 magnum it's very accurate and packs a punch 👊
Mike Tyson you're tale 😳
whenever i hear hickok say propane, it reminds me of king of the hill

baaaaa
Two of my favorite things in the firearms world. 1911s, and 357 magnum. I need it in my life lol
THAT is on my "to get" list! I love the .357 magnum, and I like 1911's. The Coonan is a Win/Win for me.
Beautiful handgun, definitely on my wishlist,
I've been on the waiting list only make a handful at a time
Wish they were on the approved roster in the socialist state of Massachusetts.
+craig whitehead ...I bought mine in May and they had it sitting on the shelf.
me too
Same! Added it to mine as well lol its been 6years did you get yours???
I do love the .357 been looking for a automatic. I used to own a 9MM Beretta in the early 90's when I got out of the military. Bought my first .357 SW and the first time I fired it I fell in love... .357 is a incredible round, fun to load, and reliable.
Love your videos, they are always real world. I had the same reaction the first time I shot my Coonan. I shot out about 75 yards at a gong, and hit it. I thought I was just lucky, it wasn't luck. The trigger on the Coonan is the secret to its phenomenal accuracy. Thank you hickok45.
Wow! I did not know that .357 was developed in 1935! First time head about that cartridge was in the 70's and the Colt Python.
Was developed to punch through automobile doors and the like at the time. It was also partly a product of people like Elmer Keith who would hot rod the .38 Speial and .44 Special rounds. Elmer Keith is also a big reason why .44 Magnum exists.
The .38 Super is a semi-auto counterpart, being a very hot loading of .38 ACP, but the .357 took the spotlight back then.
when i was active in the service i used .357 magnum ( revolver ) as my secondary carry gun as all my peers uses .45 cal and 9mm as theirs..and i love the sounds of my gun when were firing as different from the others..good ol days..btw im using .40 cal now as my choice of defense cartridge as a civilian citizen.
"It's almost always a windage or elevation problem." - hahahaah! Yes, it is!
unless you live in florida...then it's the molehills...aka fire ant hills
I dont think the M1911 will ever stop being manufactured. Its the most iconic gun in History.
I'd say the Colt Peacemaker holds that distinction!
@Giant sack of hot garbage nah. I don't think so
@Giant sack of hot garbage "beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder'
I love 1911's just the look and so much variety and calibre and how they look, it just a beautiful gun. And I thank you for making these videos.
I remember when it first came out..limited back than..great round and 1911 always great..
Since you shoot a LOT of rounds I shouldn't really be surprised by your accuracy. But I am still mightily impressed!
I bet a lot of people want to rent your range out for a day
Make it a week..lets go
Most ranges allow only paper or cardboard nowadays cause of saftey
Our local range has a few different types of ranges and they do have a rimfire plinking range and a centerline pistol plinking range set up with metal plates, spinners and dueling tree targets. Not nearly as expansive as Hickocks home range but still plenty to keep you entertained. You would easily run out of ammo before you got bored shooting there.
I still want one after all these years.
Powerful,crisp, loud, reliable. I love this gun.
I’m biased against the 357 mag….. LOUD beast. Does have me curious about it in the 357 in the 1911. That would certainly be a better defense round against a bear than the short brass pistol calibers.
that Ed Brown is BADASS!
not Ed Brown, 1911 Colt style Coonan 357 magnum..
@@Consigliere.. Ed Brown at 4:20..
@@Consigliere.. Pay attention.
I've had mine (exactly as shown in this video, the Classic) for 3 years and that and my M1A National Match are by far my favorite firearms!!
More proof that John Browning was God's gift to the USA.
Though he was Canadian, you are still right. :)
He gave us Bill Geissele
@@WhoWouldWantThisName I believe you are thinking of John Garand. John Browning was born in the Utah territory according Wikipedia.
Germaxicus correct 🇺🇸
I know FN Herstal loved him as do we all. Most pistols to this day use some of his designs, even Glocks.
When I become rich and famous I'm buying you all coonan .357's
Are you rich yet?
My dawg!
I love the .357 mag. The report is like a signature.
When ever I watch one of your videos I can't help but smile every time you pull the trigger.
Looks like 357 has quite a bit more recoil than a 45. ACP.
Nah it's fine.
But moving quicker and hitting harder 😁
But wouldn’t it just be easier and more affordable to get a 1911 or 2011 in .40 SW ? Similar ballistics as a 357 mag.
@@craigthescott5074 no
You mean brutal recoil....
0:08
If you listen to the background, you can hear the bullet ricocheting into a target.
It's after he says "wow".
+Sergio Hurtado Ir he can ricochet a bullet into that gong at 80 yds. he must really be a good shot.
Mannlet the hit faster than the sound
If the us army wants to complain about stopping power they should just switch to these. Its even a 1911 and they love those.
Unfortunately I feel like they're going to stick with the 9mm for the foreseeable future
because of the wimpy little girls allowed in our service
Yeah but both 45 and 357 ain't cheap and armies the world over are cheap
@@philagethechef also need to consider the military basically decides whats cheap. the magnitude of their orders creates so much production that the value always goes down from the sheep amount of supply

I couldn't find a Coonan in .357 but did get one in .45 ACP Fun gun, heavy and well-built ;-)
The finish on this gun is beautiful. And the grips are a nice accent. I'd love to have one of these!
That's right🙂👍. I love that clean finish also. Brushed nickel , I think 🤔 I've heard that the one side w/o any logo or badging is blank so you can, in fact, have it custom engraved or laser etched. Really nice touch as if it wasn't bad-ass enough already 😉👍
Out of all the guys to watch he is my favorite and I can't help it every episode is interesting
Jeff Cooper loved 45 ACP, but stated that 357 Magnum was the best general purpose handgun cartridge in terms of lethality combined with ease of use. He conceived 10 mm as the best compromise approaching the overall suitability of 357 Magnum in a semi automatic handgun platform. In other words, a 1911. Y'all look out, it's coming...10mm case less armor piercing incendiary.
I'm always impressed that you never miss a target. I have to know, "do you sleep with those things"?
The dude can sure shoot!!!
I know alot of people hate on the gun, some channels say its very unreliable but i have never seen one jam. Yes it only has around 7 rounds. But it is such a good looking gun. To me it seems reliable. Never shot one because i live in Australia.
Woh. My favorite handgun... with my favorite ammo!
Made right here in Minnesota.
🎤🎹🥁 Cold like Minnesota 🎶🎵 🤷🏻♀️
It sure is awesome and hey, DPMS- Panther arms!!!! Fighting the good fight!!
Now, if only you all can work on your fetchin sad, crazy, tainted, un-American politicians!!! How did what happened this past local MN election actually happen??
Hickok and son John should run next!!! Love the video content as always. Thank you and see if we can vote with our thumbs on this!
Wow arguably the best 1911 out there. I still loving my EMP
A fascinating gun, matching the ultimate proven combat cartridge with the classic John Browning design. Personally I prefer the striker fire for dependability, however this mating seems to make better sense than the likes of a Desert Eagle. If there was one 1911 pistol cartridge combo I feel I could trust my life would it would be this one for sure. Reputation is well deserved. Bravo to Buds Gun Shop for bringing this masterpiece to this channel.
No conocía está hermosa arma y se mira poderosa, saludos cordiales desde México.
Lo unico malo que tiene Mexico lindo son las pinches leyes contra armas y municiones, no debe ser asi.
This, 357 Magnum, is a non military caliber. Legal in Mexico? If not, go 9mm largo. 38 Super.
I love This Gun and seeing Hickok45 shoot it just makes me so happy!.. I love taking this gun to the range, it is fun to shoot. I stick with the .357Mag rounds. It gets attention. A 1911 on steroids!.. At the range it sits in my Drop leg holster.. And I like the grips... Good grips.. I know Hickok45 didn't care for them but I do. Still love the guy to death. Personal choice. I avoid the .38 special rounds. I think that is the problem here. You need the .357Mag to cycle this gun and that's how I run my gun. Lot's of fun and really awesome! Dan Coonan did a great job with this gun!..
I'm not sure how many times I've seen this video but I love it every time. Coonan rules
So jealousy of the American people as you guys have the right to bear arms.
You do too, friend. It is a basic human right.

@@brentbartle6529 The cops do not make the rules.. They "Just follow orders." They are just puppets of the system.

I wanted one of these in the 80's when I was 'trying' to buy every iteration of the 357 I could find. Ordered at the local gun shop and waited and waited... never arrived. Coonan was always closing their doors and restarting their business over the years. Today in 2020 they are restructuring and in the process of starting again. I never got my 357-1911 and likely never will. Shame. Nice gun, cool idea.
I was amazed how fast you hit the gong! The gun is so loud it's hard to hear the hits.
Been wondering about these for years. Nice to see a good test. Gotta love well machined stainless steel. Pretty interesting engineering job, adapting to a long rimmed cartridge with significantly higher pressure. Great video as always. Thank you
good luck finding one. grizzly, coonan, amt all the autoloaders that came in magnum cartridges are dead. i want kel-tec to make one. lever action polymer build with a drum mag stock. probably bullpup or whatever.
Hope they can do one in .460XVR.
Having a 1911 in 30 Super Carry is one of my goals.
I had the same hat until it fell apart. I loved that damn hat.😥
I disagree about the grips. I think black grips look cheap, wood grain looks much better.
I like his way of presentation with solid voice which suits to firing arms. Pistols, revolvers etc. are so nice to see as handy to use. Most lovely thing to know, these are old-school fire arms.
Did anyone else hear the first shot skip up from the dirt and ring a steel target down range?!
probably hit a rock, and the rock flew and hit a close metal target.
Yep, heard that.
The dude is a good shot!
BUD'S GUN SHOP must really rock.
Dear santa...
such a sweet piece... but damn, 1,500-1,800 all the way up to 2,000+ bucks, even on gunbroker..... that's a good chunk of change. but still, f"n sweet nonetheless.

I absolutely love your website. Please keep doing what you do so well- you're an absolute inspiration.
this legend hits every target
I've been wanting one of these for years. I just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.
This memorial day, take a few minutes to remember the two litres and their service
I'm impressed you hit those gongs at that range. I bet the 125-grain load gets about 1,500 fps from that big barrel.
i love his reaction to those beastly rounds haha such a boss, the 1911 packs a punch no matter what you load
As much as any other handgun I guess? 1911s fire the same ammo as every other gun.
@@codyallen2838 did you ever find out that not all guns fire the same cartridge?
@@JoeKurr5 Now I'm never one to get upset at someone for being confused so I'll just clarify for you. The original commenter said that "the 1911 packs a punch no matter what you load". Implying, intentionally or not, that the 1911 itself has something to do with how powerful the cartridge is. Which of course it does not, as I said in my reply, it loads the same ammo as everything else. A 45acp or 9mm is not more powerful coming out of a 1911 than it is any other gun with the same length barrel. I've been silhouette shooting for around 12 years and have owned guns since the 90s. So yes to your question, I am aware. Though you'll see a slight velocity loss when firing a round from a revolver than you would with that same round in a semi-auto.
Good evening to all the friends of the channel so far here in Brazil we still can not have the freedom to still have guns, but the laws are changing, I'm a fan of this caliber .357 MG, I would like to ask for Mestre hickok45 how many potential jails in the mouth of the pipe? I really like weapons as a pleasure to spend an afternoon with friends shooting, for me a .22 would already be of good use, maybe one day I will go to America and meet the Master hickok45, I will feel a lot of joy and admiration, of course autographs and photos , and a shootings, and a barbecue juices and friends, something healthy to be with people of good, thank you for the excellent material of the channel, a hug everyone and stay with the holy Peace of God.
Stupid!
Brazil is a shithole.
This man would be called a gunslinger if it was the old old west. What an accuracy. Impressive despite his young age!
0:07 you hit targets even when you dont aim at them :)
Que arma linda , é um canhão ... aqui no Brasil não tem.
That is awesome! I think I still have the magazine in my collection of that pistol , with it on the cover, in my collection of gun magazines! 😊👍👍
I wonder how this gun holds up to continuous use. The 357 is pretty hot. I wonder if that cartridge puts more stress on a semi auto's frame.
+Nicholas Evans Best comment on here. Love this gun, but the extra pressure will eventually wear the dickens out of that frame. Emergency only! haha
+avitas4 that's what I was thinking. I look at 357 sig Glock's and 10mm
+avitas4 well im sure only after thousands of rounds and years of use.
+Nicholas Evans Seems likely, but if the spring is properly calibrated for a standard 357 I'd hope it would mostly be mitigated.
I've seen a vid on youtube where someone who owned one for 18 months and fired around 1000 shots, he said other than a few minor extraction malfunctions it never broke down on him.
Love my Coonan! I carry it.. Awesome handgun....
Hickok, that 1911 should be pointed off of the prow of a naval destroyer, geez man that frame is beautiful. What a monster round. I love it
That's probably just his backup.
hickok has the long hands for this gun
Was thinking the same thing. The longer round makes the grip bigger front to back.. a flat mainspring cover definitely makes sense for that piece
Hickok45 is the best youtube gun channel best rumble shot sound so satisfied.
Man, the 60FPS looks pretty good.
+Carlos Aponte Didn't think there was anyone else in the siren community that likes guns.
Love shooting. Also love sirens. Well met :)
