Coonan 1911 in .357 MAG

Keep her busy with Womens work
painting the house
waxing the Car
shampoing the carpet,
she won,t have time to snoop around in mans business,,,,of course if that doesn,t work wrap the gun in a 10,000 mink coat and ask her to take her pick

I don't know about that guys. LOL. She will definitely notice the huge transaction in the bank account... she's also pregnant so it'll be a nightmare of how angry she'd be... And I though of her jumping on her PMS cycle and running me over with it every month was bad.. this will be worse!

Thant reminds me of this video



Solution #10 - offer to buy baby stuff, insist that 1. you pay for it all cash, 2. she stay home and rest. Just keep skimming a little off the top each trip, yes it is torture but you are helping the family and yourself

Solution #11 - Show her how that Coonan will appreciate over the next 18+ years and will be worth more by the time your offspring is ready for college.

It shoots 38spcl and 357 with just a spring change ,,need to put that 1911 on my got to have list

Thanks for all the input guys.


Now the hard part... how to convince the wife. LOL.

Another option is to buy it and sneak it into the safe and let it sit there for a few months. When she notices it calmly let her know that it's been there for months. Make it her fault that she's not more attentive.

OR

Buy it "for her". Tell her that you want something that would be comfortable for her to shoot and remind her that it is the same bullet diameter as a tiny little 9mm. Be careful with this one though. If she completely buys into it you'll never get to shoot "her gun".

OR

Buy it, make no excuses and make up the couch.

I tried version two and three. Both failed miserably. Version two, she handled a Beretta 92FS, and initially loved it. Now she hates it, was out shooting my nice new SIG P226 Elite Dark and loves that......I get to shoot the beretta know. Version three, decided to celebrate getting my PTC and went out and bought a Sig P232. She still hasn't forgiven me about that one, and that was a year ago. Also, she loves to shoot the P232 and is considering getting her PTC (which means I'll lose the other SIG as well!!).

OTOH, she has no interest in shooting things that make a much bigger bang than the 380 and 9mm. So this might be a safe bet for me.......

I've shot the Coonan and really liked it.

Buy the gun, explain that given the choice between a gambling, hooker or drug addiction it's really the most cost effective of vices and you're really doing it for her benefit.

Bringing your A-game motorboat skills the day before you pick it up might help as well.

Tell her the gun isn,t yours,,your holding it for a friend whos wife doesn,t understand man things

[mc762x54R]

I've got one on order...i did a couple videos for them too for the shotshow.
its a really fun gun to shoot

[MnHornet]

Great pic Mike. Bet your dad is glad you're finally getting your own.

[rukwikenuf]

Yeah, Vvvrrrrooooooommmmmmmmm let me shoot hes too... Here is a vid of a few board members having some fun.

These are full house loads.

i like how Pat is confused! "hmm... it's a 357, but it's not a wheelgun... hmm... RECOIL'S NOT THAT BAD"

[rukwikenuf]

oh, and theres a rental Coonan at Bill's. thats the one that i shot, and i'm sure its more whorish than the Vroooooom Coonan. hell, it gets shot daily and cleaned monthly

good shootin gun, really cool. not in the cards for me anytime soon though, i gotta get me a S&W 357 before i can get fancy like the Coonan

Yeah, it's a heavy gun. Shot the exact same loads from my SP101 which weighs roughly half what the Coonan does, and all I can say is I'm glad I added the cushy Hogue Monogrip.
