Colt's modern Cobra line has been a hit since it brought the snake guns back, and this 4-inch stainless version is the one a lot of wheelgun fans have been waiting for. The shorter 2-inch Cobras are great little carry pieces, but adding two more inches of barrel changes the whole personality of the gun. You get a longer sight radius, more velocity out of your .38 Special loads, and a muzzle-forward balance that settles the gun down noticeably during double action strings. It still wears the classic brass bead front sight paired with a trench-style rear cut into the frame, a setup that is simple, snag-free, and quick to pick up.
The frame and one-piece barrel are forged stainless steel, and the barrel finishes with a recessed target crown to protect the rifling and help accuracy hold up over the long haul. Chambered for .38 Special and fully rated for +P, the six-round fluted cylinder gives you one more round than most small-frame competitors in this class. The action runs both double and single action with Colt's linear leaf mainspring design behind it, which is a big part of why these triggers pull so smoothly without that stacking feel at the end. A transfer bar safety means it is safe to carry with all six chambers loaded.
At around 30 ounces with an 8.75-inch overall length, this Cobra soaks up recoil in a way the airweight snubbies never will. Standard pressure .38s are downright pleasant, and even +P defensive loads stay controllable thanks to the weight and the Hogue overmolded rubber grips, which fill the hand and cushion the web nicely. That combination makes this an easy revolver to practice with, which matters more than most spec sheet numbers. Whether it ends up as a nightstand gun, a trail companion, or the wheelgun that finally gets you into double action shooting, this one earns its keep. It ships in a Colt case with a cable lock.
Yes, this Cobra is fully rated for .38 Special +P loads, so you can run modern defensive ammo without worry. With its all-steel construction and roughly 30-ounce weight, +P recoil is very manageable in this gun. Standard pressure .38s are even softer for high-volume range days.
The 4-inch barrel adds sight radius, velocity, and forward weight, which makes it noticeably easier to shoot well, especially in double action. The trade-off is a longer, heavier package that leans more toward range use, home defense, and outdoor carry than pocket-sized concealment. The action, capacity, and +P rating are the same across both.
It uses a classic brass bead front sight paired with a trench-style rear notch machined into the frame. The setup is fixed, rugged, and completely snag-free, and the bead picks up light well against most targets. It is a traditional arrangement that fits the character of the gun.
Colt's current Cobra line uses a linear leaf mainspring design that gives the double action pull a smooth, consistent feel without stacking near the break. The single action pull is short and crisp, which helps when you are working on precision at distance. It is one of the standout features of these revolvers.
