Colt Cobra 

I've been writing a crime novel, and I must say that these videos have been helping me with my research on period-specific guns to help bring more realism to my book. Thanks for that!

That's the thing I like about this channel. He makes you feel like you're his friend.

its a first for me to see that many misses in a row. the beauty of Hickok videos is that he humble enough to not edit out his missed shots.

Coffee and Colts ☕️🔫 A good way to start my morning here in Tennessee. Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

HICKOK45......A true responsible and humble patriot with more gun knowledge than any of us dare to aspire for. Keep the videos coming. Colt being back in the revolver game, amazing and about time.

Everyone that wants the Python back needs to go buy the Cobra. Reason being, if Colt's revolver sales are good, more revolvers will likely come down the line. That's my hope anyway!

First thing to do: like the video ✅

I love my cobra. I finally got it last week after waiting since Feb. I carry it in a shoulder rig in my old 5 shot j frame holster. Fits snug and the leather has stretched to fit it well. Glad to carry a reliable and great quality pistol.

Happy *late* independence day from England

In the late 1990s, they produced the Magnum Carry, a beefed up late model Detective Special. I think it was based on the SF-IV, which seems to be what the Cobra is based upon.

I loved hickok45's charming, light banter throughout this video. Great sardonic wit! He's the Mark Twain of the firearms world!

This video is a great present for my birthday:) Thanks a lot for all you are doing! God blesses America and have a good day. Greetings from Russia.

Hickok is that Grandpa we all wish we had when we were kids lol.

My Uncle just gave me his Colt Anaconda .44 magnum with a 6" barrel. Nice shooter. Great video Hickok and John.

Glad to see Colt, my favorite Gun Company, back in the Revolver business!

Thank you for the great review! I am a big revolver fan and have been looking forward to a closer look at this one. Looks like Colt has a serious contender in the quality revolver market.

I was lucky enough to get one without paying crazy above msrp prices. I can say first hand, the finish is meh, but the action is 100% Colt. Fantastic trigger and feels like an old Colt and shoots fantastic. It's a great step in the right direction for Colt.. when these things settle down price wise I'd highly advise picking one up.

I've had this revolver reserved from my local dealer since I first read about them coming out. Hopefully he will be receiving some soon. Thanks for the video.

Sir jus letting u know love ur channel u remind me very much of my father RIP he left me his colt 38 detective he had in Vietnam he was a diehard colt and revolver fan the way u go over things and talk to ur fans reall make me think of him when he was teaching me about these things thanks for ur vids keep up the great work and look forward to ur next vids

Thanks for the video. This revolver is top on my wish list. I inherited my Grandfathers 1968 Colt Detective Special and it is one sweet piece. So glad Colt is getting back in the DA revolver business again. I didn't see any missed shots :)

Thanks Hickok! You told me you would review this as soon as you could! Definitively an option for me since I have the older model Colt's. Awesome

love watching your reviews. you make this Army Vet happy.

The first gun I've ever fired was an old .357 Colt Cobra, brings back memories... . Remember looking like a chimney sweeper after squeezing of a box... .

Thanks Hickok ! You brought back good memories! I love Revolvers!

I feel bad that Colt is constantly in financial trouble. It's such a great American gun maker. I really wanted one of the new 1903 Hammerless Officers models until I found out it was being made by a sub-contractor. I recall the test samples of the Cobra at SHOT Show were having reliability issues. Hopefully that was just some pre-production kinks they've since worked out. I hope Colt is tooling up to making the classic snake lines again in house and is training a new generation of master gun smiths like they one employed. I hope this isn't another sub-contractor model. I would hate to see Colt become a brand name only and all of their product offerings being farmed out to contractors, like the Century Arms business model. While I'm on the subject, why did Colt bring back a 1903 in .32 ACP? That cartridge hasn't been popular for over half a century. Why didn't think bring back the 1908 in .380 instead? Now we have the Cobra, but I suspect far more people would jump at an opportunity to own a new Python. The originals are selling for silly prices on Gun Broker these days, so the demand is there. Heck, I bet people would even jump at the opportunity to have a newly made Anaconda. A Cobra? Not so much. It seems like Colt keeps missing the mark with their products. I may have to save up for the 1903's just to show Colt some support even though I know it's not really made by Colt. I want them to survive and make a comeback, but they keep doing goofy things like the 901 rifle. They can't seem to get out of their own way sometimes.

I have a 1967 Cobra, nice to see Colt is making double action revolvers again. Love the video Hickok !

the new colt cobra is a real sweet shooter, so glad to see colt bringing back one of the best carry guns ever made.

"I can't afford to miss" that seems a bit like foreshadowing. Did Hickok predict the ammogeddon of 2020?

I grew up less than a mile as the crow flies from the Colt factory so I feel like I should pick up a revolver to go with my Colt 1911... Nice Preds hat too!

If you had an ankle holster you could have said " I got a snake in my boot".

Thank your for another FANTASTIC video. I used to carry a S&W .38 Special Bodyguard I got from Bud's and was really fond of it. When you did the video for Bud's promoting the M&P, I traded my Bodyguard for an M&P .40 - sometimes I think I should have kept the revolver.

Im glad they're making revolvers again! I have a few if their older ones and absolutely love them! I just hope the quality of these are as good as the older ones, which I'm sure they are. I have a Trooper MK IV in nickel that was made in the 70's and the action is amazing!

..just that solid sound when you're talking, playing and closing that cylinder.. gives me Willie's

just something more fun about a day shooting a revolver. It is cool that revolvers are having a such a resurgence in popularity.. It brings a smile to my face to take new shooters out and let em shoot an old SAA or a good Python or 629 colt making the cobra is really good news to me as well as Kimber making a revolver.

Another great video from Hickok45, I never miss a single one.

I'm considering getting this as my First pistol actually! And Hickok love the predators hat! I'm a Flyers fan but good to see someone supporting their local hockey team!

The perfect RU-vid channel doesn't exi-

I loved my Trooper MK3. Wish I still had it but financial circumstances forced me to part with it. "You can't eat a gun" as I remember my father saying, and I had mouths to feed.

Ijust enjoy all your videos. Back in 1978 I had a Colt Python. very powerful 357 6". Nice but this Colt Cobra just call my attention. Thanks again for your videos.

Thank you for an enjoyable time and the info nice to see what is still hot and what's new

I carried a Model 65 for 7 years. Very Good revolver but that weight does start to nag. I have also carried a 586 in 4 inch and a Model 19 in 2 1/2 inch Configurations. Smith & Wesson never let me down. Thanks for showing us the Cobra.

OMG when he said home land security "it's just a revolver!" I had diet coke come out of nose I laughed so hard!

11:02 "I can't afford to miss", (smokes a pot) then hits 2 with one shot. Nice one Hickok45!

I own a colt magnum carry, looks very similar to the cobra in 357, bought it in 1997-98 while building the Jersey city light rail job. I like it!

Nice review as always. Im old school, and love revolvers. I carry a Detective Special occasionally. Hard to beat a quality revolver.

Love it. I am getting back to the revolvers, lever action rifles, and double barrel shotguns.

Hey Mr. Hickok,I started carrying my 25 year old Detective Special again for summer with some old, but still good 200 grain super police loads by Winchester. Surprisingly soft shooting and I've read they tend to yaw on soft tissue which is a plus for no over penetration if need be GOD forbid. Nice video.

This was such a tease. Made me think they were bringing the whole line back

Mr Hickok is an Excellent marksman and you can tell this from his purchase on the weapon and his alignment. His right shoulder is straight down the sight. This comes from years of shooting and experience.

Always impressed with this man "Respect"

Keep your firearms! Don't disarm!

Almost all modern revolvers I pick up anymore have some sort of safety lock. I am so glad colt took took the traditional approach to this revolver.

I've got an old Colt Detective Special... It is a really fun gun to shoot... and I love my Berettas and Glocks

My dad is a retired Detroit Police officer. (We live in Middle TN now) I have his 1969 Colt Cobra .38spec. It was his undercover pistol. He told me he used that because if it was for undercover, it had to be a six shooter.

What a handsome gun!!! Glad to see an old peace officer backup gun coming back.

My first handgun was a Ruger Security 6 revolver that was basically a Colt knockoff. I sold it 30 years ago and have been looking for one ever since. I have one of these on order and cannot wait to get it. Youngsters are laughing at me for going old school wheel gun. Let's see who is laughing next time we go to the range and I don't let them shoot my old school gun. It's also nice to see I'm not the only one that scares targets by shooting all around them. I jest but that's an impressive distance with a 2.5" barrel.

hickock45, I loaded thousands of full wadcutters way back in the 70's to shoot in my S&W Model 52 target pistol. It was the only semi-auto pistol that I know of that was made specifically to shoot full wadcutters. It was an extremely accurate pistol that was guaranteed to shoot 2" or less groups at 50 yards from the factory, it came packed with a test target. Would love to see you do a video on one.

A classic come back to life! Awesome!

I’m surprised you haven’t done the Night Cobra yet. Just bought one, and I’m fully in love! I think you’d enjoy it as well!

very cool colt:) glad they are making revolvers again:)

Great hat Mr. Hickok! Preds had an amazing season.

Such a gorgeous gun!

I have fired the fine Colt Cobra in the past , fine handgun.. In fact i liked it somewhat better than S&W of same size frame .. I like Colt anyway , very good quality in their handguns ..

My grandfather is giving me his old Colt Cobra for CC. Looking forward to shooting it

Well hell....Now I have to go to my local gun store/pawn shop and order a Colt Cobra.....I've owned a lot of handguns, both revolvers and semiautomatics manufactured by several American manufacturers, but NONE ever equaled the Colt's....Thanks so much for giving me another reason for spending my retirement money on yet another firearm that you have featured in a video.....Excellent video by the way! Take care and keep 'em comin'!!!

First time ever i see Hickock missed the gong but love his videos he is part of the reasons why i got a 686 plus 4 inch an love it Saw this Colt revolver at a carters country shop an its nice but its 38 special totally not sold on it wish they make a 3 inch or 4 inch in 357 magnum that also can fired a 38 as well

You and Bud's. The best on the net!!

been waiting for this one for awhile buddy.

You pushed it for such a short range firearm on the Gong!. Good for you.Damn fine shooting Sir.

Man I hope colt brings back the python. If they do I will jump on that soooo quick!

I have a beautiful 78 model on layaway, but I'm getting my 66-3 off layaway first! Thanks for the look hickok.

I hope my range gets this gun into their rental cabinet. I like to have a variety of revolvers for my Basic Pistol students to shoot. Thank you, hickok45

Great job as usual. Great camera work as well.

Wow! The Colt Cobra is back! Very nice!

I have an older colt cobra. My grandfather kept it in good condition. The light frame makes shooting hotter and heavier .38 ammo a bit uncomfortable but lighter FMJ is very nice

Mr Hickok, it would be really nice to see the king Cobra now. Love your program.

Excellent review as always. How about a review of the new S&W model 66 2.75. Thanks

Hickok you miss you never miss the gong like that

...thank you boys. Good stuff...well done! Now, I'll be on the hunt...looking to add to the collection!

I really like that Colt. I've used a S&W Pistol with 357 Magnum and 38 Special and like it too. I've ot the 7 shot version. This looks like a good choice to cary. I'm always flinching with the Smith when using 357 Magnum, but not so much with the 38, so I think the 38 would be better as a carry option. Thanks - great video.

i love your videos so much you remind me of my great great uncle keep the videos coming!

.357 was the King Cobra. I have one and love the thing. Beautiful trigger in both DA and SA

I got the Colt Cobra, feels great , and shoots great !

I just bought the Taurus 605 SS 357 revolver & I love it, it's replaced my LC9 as my carry pistol, for now at least. This colt looks awesome too, nice review thnks!!!

I just inherited a 1959 Colt Cobra in the box with all the paperwork, my grandfather bought it June '59. I had it looked at by a local shop, he said not to shoot it at all, looks to be never fired or just a few times.

Oh I hope to god that Colt is taking a venture back into revolvers fully.

I really hope they make the rest of the "Snake" line of revolvers. Even if it's a limited production thing. I'd be most excited to see the Python.

Fantastic vid, as always!!!

12:07 The original fidget spinner

I used to shoot one w my dad when i was like 12. I found it difficult since it did not have a rear sight, still loved it

Yeah, after seeing this, I'm definitely only getting a revolver for home defense

John is Wonderful with the camera, Two Thumbs Up!

My local Range Suggested I shoot Waddcutters in my J-frame 638 when practicing at the Range !! The shock and vibration reduction makes shooting the J-frame much more pleasant !! On paper it makes a nice clean hole that's easier to see how you are shooting !

Glad to finally see a video of a Cobra "in the wild" I planned on getting one of these when they first announced them to go with my dad's '73 Colt Trooper Mk III, but I came to my senses. I ended up getting a S&W Model 60 for $100 cheaper, and had the advantage of it being a magnum and it having a beautiful finish as compared to this ugly finish on the Colt. I haven't regretted that decision for a second. Now, if Colt will make a blued version of the Cobra in .357, I'll consider getting one

Beautiful revolver.

I think this holds the record for the most going misses. Lol. Love your vids.

Nice hat Hickok45 ... I wish they won the Cup!!! From a Massachusetts boy Boston Bruins fan!!!

I think right now my preference for a holster carry revolver would be a Smith and Wesson Model 586 4 inch barrel. I would like to see Colt make something like that although I prefer the blued steel. You make some fine points about this revolver.

I like the way the grip wraps around the back of the handle.

Glad to hear Colt is back in the revolver game. last I heard Colt wasn't doing well financially. Can anyone shed some light on that?
