No sleeved barrel. No MIM parts. No key hole in the side plate. How do they expect to sell any of those? They're so outdated.

I remember the original King Cobra, which was light years better than this recent Rossi 971 copy.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen frown

Yeah. Meanwhile, the MSRP of a 686 or GP100 is $829. I know which one I would buy.

There's a 4 inch blued one around here somewhere...

I LIKED the King Cobra and the MKV action; very underrated handgun. Yeah, it will slick up to S&W DA levels, whereas the Python and the earlier actions will not.

I have no idea what these new guns are like or are based on, but putting a set of some kind of adjustable sight on them seems to have taken a while.

It looks exactly like a Rossi.
