Coonan Classic

[John S.]

I happen to own one of these beauties. Sweet gun to shoot, never even thought about carrying it. Too big, and she's so purrty, wouldn't want and wear marks or anything.

It seems perty heavy too. Even empty, can't imagine carring with what seven boolits?

I was thinkin the only probable way to carry is prolly a shoulder holster, and even that may be difficult to find for this particular gun. I layed her away, and plan for it to be under our Christmas Tree!

I got a Side Guard holster for mine. Works very well. As far as the weight, well steel and wood are heavy. Not any worse than carrying my 6" GP100.

I assume OWB double snap? I liked IWB DS for my glocks, but they were a tad bit sorter..........

Don't let me discourage you from gettin' 'er. She's a fine piece. If nothing else, looks good in the safe

Deputy, I plan on carrying it. I also plan on trying to carry my SP101 as LH Crossdraw, as my setup right now. I don't even know it's there, and often forget, even sitting down................I've thought about talkin to Skrig's about makin a custom LH crossdraw for the Coonan, but, as long as it is, not sure as of yet.

It'll wear a hole in your pants at the muzzle. Just keep that in mind.

I can see that happening with IWB, but, not OWB.

Yep, IWB - I carry a 4.25" 2011 daily, and carried a Commander 1911 before that. I've got one pair of pants with a hole, and I'm sure others aren't too far behind. Fortunately, mine comes out in the back pocket and remained covered the whole time. A 5" might not poke out in as good of location, and I'd put money it puts more stress against the pants (unless your butt is a lot bigger than mine).

I'm a lefty, and hope to find a decent cross draw. Similar to this!
