Time to Start Saving Up

[SynapticSilence]

Just saw this on GunsAmerica. I may have to raid the kids' college funds on this one. Colt is Bringing Back The Cobra Double-Action Revolver for 2017

 

[CountryGent]

Neat-O. I wish they'd bring back the Colt Anaconda, though I'd imagine that is unlikely for a variety of factors.

 

[jbett98]

A Python like trigger married up to a snub nosed revolver? Why bother.

 

[Certaindeaf]

Ooh, that's nice. I always liked the little 6-shot Colts.

 

[Medic!]

I would prefer a .357 in a 25oz revolver.

But I'm not saying I won't buy a couple of these.

Cobra | Colt

 

[William Jones]

3" .357 please, please please!! I'll pay now, just promise you will make it.

 

[tkdguy]

I'm not taken by it. 24 ounces! 38 +p great for some but for the $700 retail I'd want a 357--but Smith has several proofed versions. I like my older model '66.

 

[SynapticSilence]

But it has a horsey on it.

 

[PDXSparky]

Looks nice. Start saving up so you can pay cash for it. MSRP is only $699.

 

[MilitantBEEMER]

Looking forward to one of these as well. I hope they make a version in black...

Would love to see the king cobra come back. The best part is maybe it will get S&W to step up there game and start making quality revolvers like they used to back in the day. The last two new ones I had were terrible guns on fit, finish and accuracy!

 

[Crohnos01]

Awesome... Crap though... I just bought a GP100..... I guess I could always get one just to compare to the GP100.... you know.... purely in the name of scientific research

Where would we be without scientific research? I mean come on it is a requirement for the sake of all mankind

 

[Crohnos01]

Yeah, so if asked, you will be my witness in divorce court, right?

 

[MilitantBEEMER]

Yeah, so if asked, you will be my witness in divorce court, right?

Sure, for a small fee (colt cobra)

 

[Crohnos01]

Lol... uh yeah... this is starting to remind me of an old Jerry Reed song "She got the gold mine"

You're gonna have to fight moma for the colt.... assuming that it's not in an evidence locker because she used it on me

 

[SynapticSilence]

Maybe later. I decided not to wait and bought one of the new Ruger LCRs in .327 Federal Magnum instead. Six shots instead of the normal five and with ballistics comparable to the .357 Magnum. What a great round. Full steel monolithic frame instead of the usual LCR Steel/Aluminum combination. Super trigger, too, and light at 17 oz. And you can shoot all of the following ammo out of it -- .32ACP (has a semi-rimmed case so moonclips aren't necessary), 32 S&W Short, 32 S&W Long, .32 H&R Magnum, and the .327 Federal Magnum. Drops into and disappears into a good sized pocket. I can wait on the Colt, I think.

 

[Heywood]

Would I start a flame war by saying I hope they bring them back into production so people will realize how overrated colts are??

 

[Crohnos01]

I don't know about a flame war, and I don't know if the new Colts rival the old ones. But I do know that I can put 5 shots out of 6 into the same hole with my 1970s Python at 30 feet offhand. I also know the action is so smooth, the last time I felt something that smooth, I got slapped . I have shot Smiths, own Rugers... all good guns, but all pale next to my Colt Python.
There are a number of my guns I would fight to keep, but try to take my Python and it's a death match.

Excellent!
