I got one of those $499 night cobras. Unfortunately mine was a lemon. Went back to Colt 3 times. The third time they replaced it with a 3 inch King Cobra. Been very happy with the KC so far. It is a "D" frame so carries smaller than a "K" frame. If you are looking for a mid sized carry revolver then definitely something you should look at. Around here they are going for north of $900. Since I essentially got mine for $499 I'm pretty happy.
