Fiber optic front sight is a nice touch, but what did they do the cylinder release latch?

Kinda looks a bastard stepchild of a S&W and Colt, is it still a pull back to the rear?

No thanks, when they bring back the .357 6" Python and 6" Diamondback in .22 I will be aroused.

Still unable to see where the potential love interest is on this one.

And it'll be better or more desirable than a Ruger or a S&W ... because?

I might buy one of those.
I have been wanting a concealed carry .38spl revolver (only/no .357Mag), all steel construction and SIX shots.
NO one makes one of those as near as I can tell.
The closest thing would be the S&W Lady Smith.

My local dealer would prolly knock maybe $25 off the retail (hey, it's a Colt).

Waiting on the 357 line

Already have a 38 S&W 442-1 AirWeight with Crimson trace grips that I payed 300 bucks out the door just recently

Why because its only sightly larger then a J frame and offers six shots. The Kimber K6 is $200 more for about the same hammerless specs. I used to have couple D frames Detective Special/Agents and enjoyed them.

I walked all over the Dallas market hall gun show looking for one of these. Soon. Soon I will find one.

very interested .

Put me on the list for a 6 inch royal blue Python. ....

Posted: 1/13/2017 6:49:44 PM EDT

[#25]

I will have one.

As soon as I can get one.

I think almost every Colt enthusiast will shit themselves if they reintroduce a Python line... I though about that when I first heard of the new Cobra, but I didn't want to push the envelope and harass Brent for a new Python line. Nonetheless, I am really glad that Colt is once again making wheel guns. I'll be taking one the first chance I get.

Posted: 1/24/2017 3:38:23 PM EDT

[#27]

I would be a lot more interested if it had a 3" barrel. Maybe they will offer other variations later?

Yup.
Today marks the end of week #9.

Last night I read the Cobra review by Wiley Clapp in my new issue of "American Rifleman".
Colt has run full page ads for three straight months.

But still a black hole as far as any release date information.
What a f**king joke.

If you look at Colt's facebook page, there's a picture posted a few days ago showing new Cobras being assembled on the factory floor in Hartford.

They'll be in stores soon.

Its colt. This should be understood as the status quo when it comes to them.

On the fb page someone asked when the guns will ship and they got a response!

"Colt - They are shipping now."

Hopefully, mine will arrive soon.

There are 373 Pythons for sale on Gunbroker. Take your pick.

I asked Colt about speed loaders.
They said the new Cobra will take the same HKS Speedloaders as the earlier Cobra/Detective Special models.

I went ahead and ordered two from Midway. They are on sale for $7.99 ea.

I have a feeling this will be the case for a while. It's the PT Cruiser syndrome. Having said that, if it proves to be a reliable gun. I would like one. I'm a bit skeptical though. My first carry gun was a Detective Special and it's out of time. And I don't know for sure but it does seem like the Colt revolvers had a rep for going out of time easier than a Smith.

But yeah, that extra round in a package not much bigger than a J frame is hard not to like.

Colt distributors have received their first shipments of the new Colt Cobra revolvers.

I hope you're right. I noticed that in this month's "American Rifleman", Colt is not running the ad for the Cobra that they have run for the previous three months. I am hoping that that isn't a bad sign.

I am right, I am a sales rep at one of the larger Colt distributors. We have been selling and shipping Cobras.

A nice looking revolver but not $1200.00 dollars nice!

MSRP is $699. The prices on Gunbroker are mostly driven by people with more money than sense who can't wait a few more weeks for these revolvers to begin filling store shelves.

I am waiting notice from KYgunco.

I'm not paying the rape prices that some are asking.

I was telling myself I didn't need one of these as I've got a Magnum Carry, then I saw what the Magnum Carry is selling for...... I think I'm going to have to retire the Magnum Carry and pick one of these up.

I got mine for below MSRP from an online deer. With free shipping.

Got another batch of Cobra's in today.
