![]() I’ve tried lower-pressure loads (even though recoil isn’t much of a problem in spite of the gun’s 15-ounce weight), various brands of ammo and different grips. For whatever reason, I’m typically more accurate with any other handgun than with this little Cobra. They were by far the widest in this comparison test. There’s something else about the Colt I wish was narrower, too, and it’s the reason that gram’s gun gave up the gold: the distance between the bullet holes on the target. ![]() From a concealability point of view, the Cobra’s relatively light weight make it a bona fide packing pleasure even if – like all revolvers – the gun makes you wish its cylinder was narrower. The Colt also fits well into my pocket and on my waist, via the use of various carry rigs. Grandmother always says beauty is but skin deep but this beauty was a joy to place against my skin. But the Colt’s non-checkered, pull-rather-than-push cylinder release catch and longer ejector rod make it look even better. The combination is similar to (the inspiration for?) our handsome third-place Taurus Model 85. And my, isn’t granny’s gun a looker? Although most Colt Cobras came from the factory blued, this particular one wears a bright-but-not-too-bright nickel finish, perfectly complimenting the medium-toned walnut grips.
