I've owned a total of 5. First 2 I was able to get early and flipped them to people that were willing to pay way more than retail. I was able to get 2 more after the prices leveled off and decided I would keep them. One was a nice gun to shoot. Decent action and I really can't say anything bad about it, just was nothing special. I really think I had set my expectations too high since I've owned a fair amount of Colts through the years and probably expected a smoother action. There was really nothing wrong with the gun. Pretty much no better or worse than most of today's revolvers. The 2nd one of that pair had one of the worst actions I've ever seen on a revolver. Very heavy DA pull and it almost felt gritty like some of the internal parts may have had rough spots. SA pull while heavier than normal, was nice and crisp. Probably could have been taken apart and smoothed up or would have probably gotten smoother just from use, but I didn't like it at all, so it got flipped and I kept the nicer one. Again, I can't really fault the gun and say anything bad about it, and my disappointment was probably from having too high of expectations up front. With all of the rave about the "New Cobra", I probably was expecting a buttery smooth Python action. I still have the best one of the pair but I hardly ever shoot it. The 5th one I bought recently from a dealer wanting to get rid of some inventory. Charged me $525 OTD and said it was his cost. I thought about just putting it up and hoping the value might go up down the road, but a trade opportunity came along and new one now had a new owner. Since I am a 3" nutcase, I'll probably wind up with one of the new ones and I do have one of the best gunsmiths in the country right down the road who can tune it anyway I want it if its not like I want out of the box.
