What will be seen in typical cases is something slightly over 1g for a non-radical coordinated turn. Someone made a comment about a coordinated descending turn as being able to produce a 1g turn. This is only true if the downward speed increases constantly (i.e. you accelerate downward). Of course you can't continue to do this for very long until something very bad happens ;() This is all nit picking though.
