New Model Colt King Cobra, notes, thoughts, options

[Sharps40]

Brass bushing in the frame hole suited for #8 grip screw. Eliminates need for lower locator pin.

 

[Sharps40]

.020 aluminum shim to locate and tension mainspring.

 

[Sharps40]

New trigger pull is 9 lb DA and 3 lb 10 oz SA. Mainspring does not walk forward. .10 in between leaves at full cock. Plenty of clearance.

 

[Sharps40]

Early Colt issue pacmayer fits almost perfect. Grip is fuller. Better pinkey rest. Gun sits noticeably deeper in the hand.

 

[Sharps40]

Colt grip is shorter than the factory hogue, better concealment. No finger grooves. No ugly dots.

 

[Sharps40]

Tiny bit of triming to do to close up 2 small gaps. Might leave it alone, pac's never closed up well back in the day anyway.

Just needs a front sight....
