Started with Smith's then a Colt Detective Special, then the Agent, and finally finished mod'ing this unfired 1976 Colt Cobra.
light weight, 6 shots, bobbed hammer, Gary Dean trigger job, Jim Badger grips
This is it, a keeper, boys and girls. Finally got it right!
Got to give a shout out to "Texas Colt" who guided me onto this path and did the hammer jobs.

VERY pretty gun! I pack an older Cobra with hammer shroud, with slimmed & altered Herrett's grips. I should get ALMOST the same results...a fine packing pistol.

Yep, you got it right there. Congrats on finding what I consider to be my Holy Grail gun; I've been looking for EXACTLY that gun for quite some time, even bought an extra set of Spegel grips for when I find it. For now, I'll make due with my DS primary and LCR backup...

There have been some really nice one's on gunbroker within the last couple of months.
I just got luck with this one.

My apology for not taking pictures of the bobbed hammer before having it reinstalled.
The work on it is just beautiful.
If and when I do another snub, I'll make sure and get good pics so you can see the work done by TexasColt.

The serrations on top of the "bob" are well done and a nice touch.
