Got myself a new Colt King Cobra for Christmas. Pretty sweet. Took her out today for a shakedown. 8lb double action pull. Nice balance. Great grips. Sometimes ya just want a wheel gun. :D

Sweet! Nice 4”, I’ve had a 6” since they were new. (Wow, that’s been a long time ago)

@Utah Bob: How's the smoothness of that King Cobra's pull? I'd worried on their new Pythons that they'd lost the expertise to do a decent trigger - without the stacking - but the reviews seem to suggest that they're able to do one continuous DA pull and the work is pretty decent.
