I've had one come across my path where the owner needs to sell. It's virtually new, compensated .357 magnum. It's intriguing to me because it's not something you see everyday and it's an interesting cartridge for a 1911 style firearm.

shot one at GFH and it was really really nice.

Im assuming it wasn't a rental gun.

Have a friend that has one for like 20 years.  muzzle flash is considerable to say the least.

Compensated or non?

Is it a Coonan "Classic" 1911?

 

If you don't mind me asking - what price were you planning on giving for it?

It's a compensated model B. He needs 1200.00. I have no idea what they go for new or used. The gun is mint.

New they're close to $2k I think.. $1200 is more than fair.

^ Agreed!

Good price on a very well made 1911 - go get it!!!!!

Im assuming it wasn't a rental gun.

no, certainly not!

I had a mild interest in getting one recently however it bothers me that the newer ones are having issues with the slides cracking. Even if they warranty it I dont want to deal with something like that. Here is a thread from the 1911 forum...
