I bought a Colt Cobra .38 from a member here last evening from the Classifieds here (that I check daily).
He was a total pleasure to talk with and new everyone that I'd ever read their post here.
The profile of ownership was perfect for I look for other than since it was a newer Colt Cobra I had to spend a little more than I usually do.
I had one in my hand months ago at Hoosier Armory in Noblesville where I have bought new and used guns before and wanted the Colt Cobra but since I had a Ruger Security Six I'd bought for $425 that I loved, I wasn't going to pay alot more for the Colt.
I just had to try one out. The trigger was smoother. In fact, I shot it better in D/A than in S/A, which is a puzzlement to me.
It was humbling to shoot the revolvers with the .38 rounds with the .367 being even more humbling yet.
I'm quite accustomed to shooting the calmer 9mm and it shows.
1st, the Colt and Ruger at 20' using SA and DA.
Colt on the top with the Ruger on the bottom.
In SA the Ruger had 3 red shots while the Colt only had 1 red shot.
But, in DA, no contest, with the Colt doing better in DA that SA, which is puzzling.
The Ruger was way high and right (need some sight adjustment).
The Colt at 30'. Head shots using SA and torso using DA.
Ruger at 30'. SA head shots and DA torso shots.
Colt does better.
40' with Colt on the right and the Ruger on the left.
Again, the Colt does better in DA: amazing to me!
I believe the sights need some adjustment on the Ruger: to say the least.
Same pic as above with the bottom row of targets being used by the Ruger using .357 rounds (Fiocchi ammo).
In single action it does much better with the .357 rounds rather than using .38 specials.
