What is retail on these btw?I have been trying to get one for a while, but I am not going to pay a $150 premium over retail on GunBroker now.
Retail is $999.99, I got a bargain price of $999.95.What is retail on these btw?
Now, the most important question- will your speed loader work with the Colt?
I wonder if the FP hitting the inner edge is connected to their decision to go with an unrecessed or caged cylinder. Maybe they figure any case ruptures will be directed inwards, thus mitigating the risk of injury?
Certainly skipping the extra machining saves manufacturing cost, though I suppose the FP position may just be for packaging and its a coincidence.
Ive never actually experienced a ruptured .22 case myself, thankfully
I only have the one Colt so I can't compare, my brother has an old Python and as I remember it was really nice.So, if the OP has any trigger time on the new model King Cobra in .357, how do the triggers compare?
I used a small Sony Cybershot with the macro setting enabled.My compliments as well on the photos. Mind telling us what you used to take them?
How would you compare the DA trigger pull between the KC, GP, and 617?Unfortunately the 617 speed loaders don't fit the Colt. The Colt is an odd duck as far as cylinder size, (the firing pin hits the rim bottom as apposed to the top) the outside diameter is a little smaller than the 617 but has the larger array pattern of the GP100 but the GP loaders are a little too big outside to clear the frame of the Colt and can damage the finish if used. I'm looking to see if a redesign is possible for Colt.

While I was looking over the OP's superb photos, I was thinking exactly the same thing!I can't believe anyone can look at that and not see a level of fit & finish not seen on S&W in decades. Or Ruger, ever.
