The NEW colt king cobra. Your thoughts?
I did not compare the NEW colt king cobra to a diamond back or Officer's model as that would have been unfair as they had fitted actions. I would expect them to be better and they are.
I got to handle the NEW colt king cobra and thought it was trash compared to old colts. Fit and finish stunk, compared to my Old King Cobra. My trooper mark 3 or King Cobra have a better trigger. The NEW colt trigger had a definite stop before the cylinder locked almost as if the action was stacking or binding before let off. Notchy enough that I could easily tell when the cylinder was all the way in battery and any further would drop the hammer. I cant't do that with my older colts, the action is smooth enough that it is almost a surprise when the hammer drops in double action. I was seriously disappointed. The NEW colt king cobra no better than a smith. I have other colts and was hoping for much more. Hell, just re-issue the old king cobra. It had a mass produced trigger that was far better. If you have handled the new ones and can compare to the older models what was your perspective?
