The Colt Night Cobra is a compact double-action-only revolver chambered in .38 Special +P (Colt part no. COBRA-MB2RNS). With a 2-inch barrel and a six-round cylinder it is built for concealed carry and close-range defense, where a short sight radius and a smooth, consistent trigger matter more than reach. A steel frame and Hogue overmolded grips with the Colt logo give it a solid, controllable feel in a small package. Fixed sights keep the profile snag-free for everyday carry.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .38 Special +P, a standard carry cartridge that also accepts higher-pressure +P loads.
• The barrel is 2 inches, short enough to carry discreetly and quick to clear from a holster.
• Capacity is 6 rounds, a full cylinder for a compact concealed-carry revolver.
• The action is double action only, so every shot is a single, consistent trigger pull with no hammer to manage.
• The frame is steel, which adds weight for controlling recoil in a short-barreled revolver.
• The grips are Hogue overmolded with the Colt logo, a rubber texture that stays secure in the hand.
• The sights are fixed, with a brass bead front and an integral notch rear, a simple setup with nothing to snag on a draw.
