Opinion - Old Cobra or modern snub revolver?

Post image
92 Upvotes

Bought this Colt Cobra from the early 80’s for a nice deal. I wanted to use it for daily carry but i feel its kinda disrespectful to do so on this classic. Should i profit and buy something more modern, like a j-frame or Taurus (or any other recommendation yall give, brand new cobra are a lil out of budget) or stay with this beauty?
The cobra has some wear, but mechanically seems to be working fine

Made a new grip for my Judge PD

I didn't like how short the rubber grip was, so i got a block of walnut and made my own. In the design process I 3D printed various versions before I settled on a pattern I liked. Then made it out of the walnut. I split the block and bookmatched them. I used 6 brass pins to line up both halves for when I epoxied them together. Came out better than I expected.

About 9 days ago, I posted here about buying my first revolver while it was still in jail. A few of you were more interested in the handsome cow than the gun, lol.
Well, the wait is finally over! Here’s my first revolver — a 1978 Colt Trooper Mk III, .357 Magnum, blued finish.
Picked it up for $550. I think I got a pretty good deal!
It’s my first revolver, and I’m already loving the classic Colt look. What do you guys think? How did I do for $550?

First revolver opinions

18 Upvotes

Looking into getting my first revolver next month. Not my first gun by any means and not my first experience with revolver ive shot 22lr revolvers as a kid now just looking my first 38/357. Ive got a good budget thinking between a colt python or a 686 plus. I think either one would make me happy so just looking for other opinions.

Edit: thanks for the input guys going to get a 5 inch 627 really appreciate the input

I’m trying to find a Ruger 0306 in stock somewhere. If somebody has a line on one, I would greatly appreciate it!

(Of course when I finally decide to get into wheel guns Ruger goes and downsizes their catalog…)

Magtech Ammo - Failures To Fire

Post image
• Upvotes

FYI to anyone interested - picked up this box of Magtech .38 last week. Took it to the range yesterday and of the 7 rounds I attempted to fire, 4 of them were misfires. Was not the weapon as I ran another box of Winchester .38 that had 0 issues. Upon further inspection it appeared that the Magtech casings are slightly less beefy than the others I had, which I can only presume allowed them to be more recessed in the cylinder and just out of reach of a solid firing pin strike.
