They are the same length as measured by calipers, which makes sense considering modern manufacturing practices. My Cobra's .38 cylinder will chamber .357s. The only difference between a King Cobra...

After 1600 rounds, I now have my 2.5” Python sorted. The gun is carried AIWB and IWB. Ideal holsters for me are a Kramer IWB or a JM Custom Kydex riding on an Enigma carrier. Carry ammo Underwood...
I researched ammo for my 9mm LCR. Lighter rounds were more susceptible to pull. Consensus was 147 grain was best choice to mitigate pull. Also, slow moving heavier bullets have more dwell time in...
After 1,000 rounds and trying different grips and front sights, I have things sorted.
For grips, I started with the OEMs that came with the gun. They are what first attracted me to the gun....
From a Handguns Magazine dated 08/15/2022, tilted New Colt Python 3-inch .357 Magnum: Review: “Also, 30 percent more steel was added below the rear sight, the usual failure point in the vintage...
Prediction: The 442/642 will be the low end of the product line. We'll see price drops that make them able to compete against Taurus. The Ultimate Carry line will become the standard bearer for S&W....
I use Kramer's inside-the-waistband clip holster that was made for a 986. You might not need a bobbed hammer. The front of the holster rides slightly higher than the hammer. I also use a JM Custom...
I pocket carry. It impresses the women. Though I once tried pocket carrying an N-frame and was told I was over selling.
I do not think they will. The frame and parts commonalities between the Cobra and King Cobra create too much savings for Colt to want to create limited runs that would increase short and long-term...
I like the idea of the 432/632 in .32 S&W. The J-frame form factor is NG for my pocket carry needs. And any gun over 12 ounces is more than I want to stuff in my pocket. I prefer flat semi-autos for...
Thank you.
I lucked out this week on GB and bought a Colt Cobra Special (MB2WBB), new in the box, at a fair price. The seller was Frank's Guns. The gun is so nice that I called him this morning to thank him. He...
Yep, and the unfluted cylinder. The literature says 30% more metal under the rear sight. People seem to be interpreting that to mean that much more metal on the frame in the area of the rear sight. I...
For impropriety, I just ordered a stainless Python #$2, Combat Elite. Pics and report to follow next week.
Stick around; I'm fighting the temptation to sell one of my Staccato Cs to buy a 3" Python. I only use the Staccatos for LEOSA quals. I also have a set of Deer Hollow service grips on the way. They...
They are well thought out. They will be S&W's mid-tier J-frames. Will they be so popular they replace the upper tier 340s or lower tier 442/642s?
A 432 0r 632 might make my 351c unnecessary. Especially when you compare the cost of Punch to wadcutters.
I'm in the same position. I just started shopping around before y'all buy up all the .32.
Extraction is not a problem. It's a full-size ejector rod. Loading cylinders is also easy. I have no issues loading Comp II speed loaders with Underwood wadcutters or any brand wadcutter in speed...
I've been going through the same debate. Your post put it in black and white. I'm going for shooting ability over logistics. I tend to favor heavier .38 revolvers in the 23-25 oz range. I've been...
I bought a set of Eagle grips for the Python. My grip kept moving up the backstrap while firing with the OEM Service Grip, which sometimes blocked the hammer’s rearward movement. Ideally, a Tyler...
And here I am with a bid on a new Colt Night Cobra that I hope I lose.
A functional J-frame at a good price. What will the Ultimate Carry Line do to M&P 340 and 340PD product lines? Or the folks trying to sell older 432s on GB for 2K? The Ultimate Carry could be a...
Would anyone happen to know a source for a #6 Tyler T-Grip or has one to sell?
I use Underwood 150-grain wadcutters in my 2.5" Colt Python weighing 41 0zs. Underwood's loading has a noticeable oomph over standard 148-grain wadcutters. In lighter J frames and LCRs, try...
