I really like the 3”....not a fan of the front sight ramp base on the Target. Wish they would have made it with a full length & tapper ramp base similar to the originals.

Kinda feel like that myself. I have a bunch of older Colts, but nothing in the last 30 years.
Colt seems to be lost in the wilderness. Out of all the great guns they've made, why the Cobra to try and bring back? And I'm a snake fan when it comes to the Python and the Diamondback.
I want to like Colt. I really do.

The new generation of Colts are not the classics. Thank God, I carried an issued Python for 18 months and it was heavy and several in our dept had timing issues. The DSes of the third generation had way too short of front sights and shot high. My back up DS shot fFOUR FEET high at 60 yards. Old PPC made us shoot six prone, single action at 60 yds. Loved the little Cobra but was non+P rated, you couldn't get your finger in the trigger guard with gloves on.
The new Colt Cobra that I own is +P rated, shoots 3to POA and has a much smoother action than either of my DSes or Cobras from of the third generation (the one with the underlug 1972 and on).
Fit on the new Cobra is very nice, finish not my favorite, but it's a different world since 1972. I will buy a 3" King Cobra because it fits into my collection. It will take the place of a 3" Ruger SP 101 with thread choke problems. The KC for a 26oz 3" 357 that has better sights, one more round of 357 and a much better trigger pull than the SP. Time to move on up.
