Why would that be a bigger problem with Colt than with Ruger or Smith?Also; you have the concern of getting parts 20 years down the line.
All product designs change over time.Colt may well change their lockup and guts... *again*.
The Colt has more capacity and a much better trigger pull.Honestly ? I'd go with a S&W 640 Pro or Ruger SP101.
I'm pretty sure the factory will be more than able to handle parts and service for the Cobra for many years to come.Only thing to remember with Colt is that there are less qualified gunsmiths knowledgeable about them than there are S&W gunsmiths, especially today.

Have you analyzed their most recent Statements of Financial Position?Because Colt is constantly teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
Nope, to all of the above. And reinventing the wheel isn't new.Have you analyzed their most recent Statements of Financial Position?
Have you noted their ability to develop excellent new products and bring them to market?
Does the demand for those product indicate anything to you?
Yet you assert that they are "constantly teetering on the brink of bankruptcy"....Nope, to all of the above.
How does that enter in?And reinventing the wheel isn't new.
There is the PERFORMANCE CENTER PRO SERIES MODEL 60:I think it would be a solid choice, though I wouldn’t overlook the Kimber K6s either. It has the extra advantage of being quite pocketable.
And oh yeah, and it handles 357s ... but only 5.Purpose: Concealed Carry, Home Protection, Personal Protection, State Compliance
What happens to Colt's new revolver line over the next 20 years is anybody's guess.
I do know Smith charges for older Model gun repairs. It’s not exorbitant, but it’s not cheap either.Only companies that will service out of production models are Smith and Charter.
Ruger no longer services the "Six" series.
