Colt’s Manufacturing is unveiling the latest addition to the revamped line of Cobra-series revolvers, the Bright Cobra! This high-polish revolver follows the Night Cobra as the third new double-action revolver from the Connecticut-based company.
The Bright Cobra is tailored to enthusiasts and shooters looking for something flashy to add to their collection. Still, there’s no mistaking the Bright Cobra for a shooter—the small-frame revolver is rated for the hottest modern .38 Special loads.
The newest Cobra is a double-action, single-action six-shot revolver. It uses Colt’s Linear Leaf mainspring to give it a very smooth, consistent trigger pull. In double-action it has a factory 7-9-pound trigger, and in single-action the trigger breaks at 3-4 pounds.

It gets its name from the high-gloss polished stainless steel construction. It has a compact frame with wooden medallion boot-cut grips embellished with the Colt logo.
The Bright Cobra is built for everyday carry with an oversize trigger guard, a brass bead front sight and a notched frame for a snag-free rear sight. The front sight is user-serviceable and can be removed by loosening a simple set screw.
It has a 2-inch barrel and measures in at just over 7 inches long, just under 5 inches tall and only 1.4 inches wide at the cylinder. Unloaded it weighs 25 ounces which is a happy medium between light enough to carry and heavy enough for high-pressure loads.

Whether you’re looking for a Cobra for carry or for show this one delivers on both fronts. There’s almost nothing like the Bright Cobra in production today, and that makes it really stand out.
The price is up there—suggested retail price is expected to be in the $1,100-1,300 range—and even though real-world prices will be less than MSRP, it’s clear that Colt can pick their price when there’s no competition.

If you want a new-production Cobra the standard model and Night Cobra are downright affordable starting around $600-700. The night Cobra — with its bobbed hammer, black DLC finish and front night sight — costs a little more in the mid-$800 range.
In any of its three configurations, the new Colt Cobras are proving themselves to be modern self-defense guns, not just collector pieces. They’re making sure the revolver stays relevant well into the 21st century.

Pity that it is almost impossible to buy one here in the People’s Republic of California! As I would be mighty tempted to go out and buy one. Grumpy
