DESCRIPTION
This operator’s manual describes the Colt Cobra Revolver and includes information on its features.
The Colt Cobra is a single/double action stainless steel compact revolver. Incorporates a full length, snag free,
ejector shroud and interchangeable front sight on the barrel. The revolver offers excellent accuracy, balance, and
controllability. This revolver utilizes an improved action which features a transfer bar which prevents the hammer
from striking the firing pin until the trigger is squeezed and held back.
CAUTION: Only you can control the configuration of your revolver. Make sure it always complies with federal,
state, and local firearms laws and regulations that apply to you. Check that any accessories you may attach, are
legal in your state and the state you intend to use it. If you are unsure, ask a local, licensed firearms dealer.
