This is interesting. I guess kimber lit a fire for more snubbies. I ant to see some testing on this and specs

Just for the nostalgia, I'd buy one.

Wonder how much California's laws and lists are driving this.

Especially if there is no Hillary hole/internal lock:)

I was considering the Kimber, but I will definitely pick up one of these.

I'll be shocked if the new offering has the old Colt action which was labor intensive to fit and not particularly robust.

Reliable reports on the Colt Forum are that it will use a newer action.

Reliable reports on the Colt Forum are that it will use the newer "V spring" action like the Trooper, Anaconda, King Cobra used.

Mk III or Mk V Troopers?

Mk III or Mk V Troopers?

The Mk3 and Mk5 revolvers used coil mainsprings.

The SF-VI, which is getting a lot of traction in the rumor mill as the basis for the new Cobra, used a shortened (IIRC) V-spring for the hammer and a torsion spring for the trigger. IIRC the DS-II did this as well.

edit: to be clear, none of the mk3/mk5 troopers, King Cobras or Anacondas used a V-spring action.

Watching the internet go crazy trying to shit on this thing while getting almost literally every detail wrong is sadly amusing...
