Cobra Love

Last night, my LGS called to let me know that my new Colt Cobra. Although it will need more testing, I am happy to report that it ran through 50 rounds of .38 Special +p without incident.
Thoughts:
1) Build quality seems good. Locks up tight.
2) The days of the hand polished Colt revolvers are long gone. Nevertheless, I think the stainless steel looks nice by modern standards.
3) With 6 shots vs 5, it feels heavier than my S&W Model 49.
4) Recoil with +p ammo is harsh. If they ever make a .357 version, avoid.
5) Accuracy - it is a snub nosed revolver. Minute of bad guy.
6) Trigger - I can't remember the last time I fired an old Snake gun. Thus, I cannot compare the new Cobra's Trigger to a Python. Compared to my S&W, there isn't a huge difference. Good, not great.
Overall Grade: A

Appears to shoot well
Would love to shoot one side by side with my second issue cobra.
Congrats.

What does it weigh?

I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!
Do they do that in pink/salmon?
Just asking for a friend.

I special ordered it. My LGS received a few yesterday and I was the first to pick one up.
That pic looks like my scale in the morning

Uncle Fester appears to shoot well.
No the revolver since shooting parameters are not stated
