From my January Shot Show thread

Another one of the pre-SHOT Show stories was Colt's return to the revolver market with the NEW Colt Cobra






While it is called a Cobra this is not developed from the old Cobra.
The Cobra was developed out of where the DS-II/SF-VI left off.

The ammunition that was on hand at Colt's booth on the SHOT Show range for us was the Colt branded ammunition that is being manufactured by DoubleTap. It was quite stout for a 38 special load

I handled three of the new Cobras and shot two of them. Both the single and double action pull on these revolvers was fantastic. Accuracy was great. I was tapping the 25 yard gongs with little trouble.

The only downside is the finish. They actually look better in these photographs than in person. It is of low quality, much like the last run of 38 special Colt Agents or the Colt 1991s. Since the construction is stainless, it would not cost too much to do a nice final polish
