Colt brought back the legendary Cobra line in 2018, and the Night Cobra is one of the most purpose-driven models in that re-launch. The matte black DLC coating on its stainless-steel frame, cylinder, and barrel resists corrosion and wear far better than traditional bluing.
A dovetail-pinned tritium front sight gives the shooter a clear aiming point in low light, while the integral trench rear sight keeps the profile snag-free. If desired, the front sight can be replaced by the user to adapt to different preferences.
The Night Cobra runs on Colt’s LL2 linear-leaf mainspring system. This design yields a consistently smooth, stack-free double-action pull, and the bobbed hammer ensures the revolver stays DAO for maximum simplicity and safety under stress.
Despite its compact 2-inch barrel, the stainless-steel construction and +P rating allow the shooter to use modern, higher-pressure defensive ammunition. Six-round capacity offers a 20 percent increase over most snub-nose revolvers without adding noticeable bulk.
Hogue over-molded rubber grips round out the package, giving the shooter a secure, recoil-absorbing hold that complements the revolver’s carry-focused design.
