That old brass bead sight on your Colt gets the job done, but it can wash out in shadows and give tired eyes fits. This green fiber optic front sight from Marble Arms fixes that in a hurry. The green rod pulls in ambient light and glows bright, giving you a clear aiming point that's easy to pick up fast whether you're punching paper or ringing steel. Folks who've made the switch consistently say the green dot shows up far better than the original brass bead, and getting on target becomes second nature.
This one is cut to drop into Colt Cobra and Python revolvers, and it plays nicely with the King Cobra and King Cobra Carry family too. It measures .140 inches tall and .125 inches wide, which matters when you're matching a replacement to your barrel. It works great as a direct swap for a damaged front sight or just as a straight upgrade over a plain factory blade that isn't cutting it anymore.
Installation is a straightforward DIY job for most people. The front sight is held in place by a small set screw that takes a .050 inch (1.27mm) hex wrench, and once it's backed out the sight lifts right up. A word to the wise: that little screw is easy to strip if you crank on it, so use a quality hex tool and a dab of medium-strength thread locker so it stays put under recoil without going overboard.
Since the fiber optic blade can sit at a slightly different height than your factory ramp, you may need to tweak your rear sight elevation to bring point of impact back to point of aim. Range reports back this up, with owners hitting steel out past 40 yards from short-barreled snubbies once things are lined up. Give it a few rounds to confirm zero and you'll have a bright, dependable sight picture you can trust in most any light.
It's designed for Colt Cobra and Python revolvers and also fits the King Cobra and King Cobra Carry. It measures .140 inches tall and .125 inches wide. If you're unsure about your specific model, measure your existing front sight before ordering to confirm the match.
You'll need a .050 inch (1.27mm) hex wrench to back out the front sight set screw, then the old sight lifts right out and the new one drops in. Use a quality hex tool because that little screw is easy to strip if you overtighten it. A dab of medium-strength thread locker will keep the screw from backing out under recoil.
It's a good idea to check your zero after installation, since the fiber optic blade can sit at a slightly different height than your factory sight. That may shift your point of impact, so you may need to adjust rear sight elevation to bring things back to point of aim. Fire a few groups at the range to confirm everything lines up before relying on it.
Yes, that's the whole point of the upgrade. The green rod gathers light and glows bright, so it pops into your line of sight much faster than a plain brass bead. Owners with aging eyes especially notice the difference in target acquisition and low-light visibility.
