I've decided to buy a Coonan but I'm not sure which to get. The Classic full size or the Compact? Let's talk pros and cons. Help me /k/.
Full Size:
>Comes with extra grips
>Additional spring kit allows you to also shoot 38 special
>Much heavier than compact
>Front heavy/feels unbalanced in my hand.
>More comfortable to shoot high power 357 loads plus greater velocity
Compact
>more aesthetically attractive IMO
>Lighter/ Better balance
>357 magnum only
>More expensive
>Comes with extra magazine
Also let's just make it a general 357/38 guns and ammo discussion thread. 357 is my favorite cartridge.

full-size for maximum coon capping
not sure what it is. a lot of people say they look like bricks but i think theyre sexy as fuck and they actually feel pretty comfortable in my hand. that long thin grip actually points pretty naturally.

Go for a full size

full size as many have said because 357 has slow burning powder and alot of it, which is why it performs so much better from a long pistol or carbine (also fireball is larger with a shorter barrel)...
youre going for a snowflake gun (but not caliber) so you need to go with the best version
get at least 5 extra magazines too for the expense difference, since theyre snowflake magazines
this thing reminds me of the Killer7 pistol from Resident Evil 4

I would point out a normal 1911 with a spring kit and 45 SMC or 460R is equal to or better than this, but those ammo types are rare even if you can still fire normal 45s with it
not the same as firing off the shelf 357s, guess you pay for the difference with the gun itself
