A buddy brought his old King Cobra 357 mag to the range last saturday & let me put about 20 rounds through it....YIKES! What an awful trigger this thing has & he still likes it. Is this typical of Colt revolvers? I had always wanted a Python, but now I'm wondering if all my lust for that gun is worth it
SMOOTH TRIGGER IF YOU WANT A SMOOTH TRIGGER RELEASE TRY A MANURHIN MR 73 LONG RANGE SILHOUETTE .357. IT HAS ROLLER BEARINGS AS PART OF ITS TRIGGER RELEASE SYSTEM. YOU CAN NOT BEAT IT ........... DANA
I know there are revolvers out there w/ box stock triggers that I like...I don't think I've shot a vintage S&W that had a poor trigger. The newer ones vary from sample to sample, so I don't include them. Thanks for the replies
I have owned two Colt King Cobras over the years and still have one. I have found their trigger pulls to be excellent although not quite a Python. You must just have a lemon.
Some guns just need broken in a bit. You might have one with only a few boxes run through it. Give it 500 ~ 1000 rounds
The Cobra isn't my gun. i doubt it's had more than a couple hundred rounds through it...probably all 38's at that. Plus, I like shooting revolver DA while the owner of this gun shoots SA 99.9% of the time & really wasn't aware of the sticky/gritty nature of the DA pull.
Tell your freind to get a trigger and action job if the D.A. bothers him. Whomever owned the trooper I got had already done this and the D.A. pull is smooth as glass. Thats what sold me on the gun actually.
Oh, believe me, I told him about the trigger. We like giving each other crap about each other's guns fuss: ) You know, "You paid too much", "Too heavy", "Unreliable", "Crappy Trigger", kinda stuff. Usually all in good fun & usually always to help bring out the potential of whatever new gun we're shooting/ sharing. Seeing that this guy only shoots his revolvers SA & he never noticed how the trigger sticks, he'll probably never put any $$ into the trigger. :joker:
