Made it to the range to see how I would do with this Colt. The trigger was smooth but long. I was shooting double actions, because that would probably be the most likely way that it would be used.

Overall, I like the firearm. Recoil was not bad, yet it let you know that .357s were being shot. Shot a total of 25 rounds, to get an idea of which brand might work best in it. So far, I am leaning toward Remington. At 7 yards, I was able to shoot a 1 1/2" using double action. I tried Magtech, Federal, Fiocchi, Independence (first time trying it), and Remington. Independence was not bad. But, I am not familiar with the brand. I bought it during the COVID lock down.

I got a couple of strays with Magtech and Federal. At first, I thought that it may be the ammo. When it happen again with a different brand, I suspect that it may be me. I was getting a little tired and ready to call it a day. Yet, any would probably due at 7 yards.

P.S. It is a six shooter. But, I only shot 5 rounds of each brand. I was trying the keep the rounds in the box multiples of 5.

Independence Ammo is made by ATK they also make Speer CCI and Federal. They also run the Lake City ammo plant that makes ammo for the military. Ive shot it before nothing wrong with it. Nice shooting with the Cobra. Looks like that would do the job on the bad guys to me.

That is plenty good for 7 yds. or less for self defense purposes. Practice point shooting in DA at 3-5 yds. since in a real situation you won't have time to line up sights for a perfect shot. That Colt should be a good shooter. Love my Anaconda!

Nothing wrong with that. Good shooting.

I’ve shot a lot of Independence ammo and have never had a problem with it.

Good shooting out of that stubby. Five shots gives you as good of data as six.
