Any members have experience with the new Colt Cobra 38p+?

Experience and opinions sought.

Thank you

Greg

If it weren't so expensive, I'd consider it. You can buy a nice old Colt Detective Special that can be carried with +P without a problem (just don't feed them a regular diet of it), and for a good bit less than they're asking for these.

When you handle one, you will see a stronger resemblance to Charter Arms than to the Colt. As a matter of fact, the first time I saw one, my first thought was: "Somebody stamped a horse on a Charter Arms." The trigger isn't bad, but the rest of the product leaves me cold.

Another sad chapter in Colt's story. The one I handled was not the quality I was expecting in the least. I'd buy a new Smith or used Colt.

When is Colt going to either learn, or just go away.

It is embarrassing to see the once great maker of fine guns, flounder and flop around like a
half dead chicken.



The word on the street is the new 1911's are good guns.
That's something, they should build on it.
