Coonan Inc. (Coonan 357)
Coonan Inc. is a United States manufacturer of.357 semi auto 1911 pistols as well as FN FAL receivers.
History
Dan Coonan founded Coonan, Inc. on 12/23/2008 in Blaine, Minnesota.
[9]It started off with an argument with Mankato State University roommate Steven Greg Bornus about a.357 revolvers vs a.45 automatic.
Having lost a rapid shooting challenge, Bornus then asserted that the.357 was ballistically superior.
Coonan then decided to combine the two and earn college credit.
The.357 1911 was born and so was Coonan Arms.
Conan Arms eventually went bankrupt, but in 2008, was reborn as Coonan Inc. [10]
