The Kobra is a truly unique pistol, and one of our most innovative firearms. Unique with the Kobra series pistols is the innovative and popular snakeskin metal treatment. It is a directional pattern, meaning it is smooth to slide your hand up, but bites in for a snug grip the other way where you need it. It's easier on the hands than checkering, and our female customers in particular can't stop bragging about it. Not to mention it just looks cool! Except for the snakeskin metal treatment, this pistol is identical to the Executive Elite in all respects. This no-nonsense design has an elegant simplicity that has yet to be matched. The Kobra is an innovative masterpiece, and a serious tool for those who want something a little different. We are sure you'll be charmed by the Kobra! The Kobra features the following: 5" Government model slide, single stack government model frame. The John Browning traditional design for the ultimate in reliability and accuracy. Weight: approximately 38 ounces with an unloaded magazine inserted. Exclusive snakeskin treatment on forestrap and mainspring housing. A beautiful, unique, and snag free gripping surface. Matte finished slide for low glare, with snakeskin on rear of slide only. Fixed dovetail 3-dot night sights with high visibility white outlines.
