    beautiful beast

    Very nice.

    Been wanting one of those since I heard of their existence.

    I salivate when I see those guns!

    I want to get one and duracoat it black and then put naturally reddish smooth exotic hardwood grips on it--or get the smooth ones from the Coonan company and stain them red myself.

    That thing is a beast at 48 ounces, loaded.

    But damn!

    A beautiful beast!

    The only thing I would like to see different/optional is bumper pads for the magazines.

    How is the recoil with 158 grain bullets?

    Still basically the same as .45 caliber out of steel frame 1911?

      Pretty much the same as a 1911 on recoil. People around you might notice the force from the Coonan. But the recoil itself is very manageable.
