Colt Night Cobra — 60 Second Review​

Colt made a whole bunch of waves over the last few years with revolvers, bringing back the vaunted snake guns of old. And while those are all indeed baller, it’s the Night Cobra that jumps out as one of our favorite new Roscoes built for EDC.

The Night Cobra comprises the exact build we would commission when designing a proper carry revolver. The six-shot .38 Special +P comes with a bobbed hammer and a durable finish. Colt also removed the single-action sear, making this a double-action only gun.

A set of rubber grips help deliver a solid purchase on the pistol. A front night sight means you’re in business during a low-light engagement, when the bad things go bump in the night.



A small-framed revolver remains one of the most reliable and versatile carry guns one can tuck into a waistband. The Night Cobra from Colt comes legit ready for carry.

Glad to see these are in the lineup again. A few years ago they were hard as heck to find, after only a short initial run in 2018. Took me over a year to track one down, but I'm sure glad I did.

@Ron Dan What's the benefit of removing the single action sear? I get that with the bobbed hammer it will be harder to cock so is it just difficult to engage and not necessary or does it improve function somehow?

If you cock it into single action in a time that you end up not needing to shoot (threat neutralized or accidentally cocked to begin with), it makes it very try dangerous to try and decock the firearm at that point and could put you in a sticky position.
