Don't get me wrong. I think Colt's New Cobra's are decent guns, but I personally prefer the original lightweight Cobra or an Agent model.

Stopped by the same pawn shop and scored a clean Colt Cobra for $600 OTD. I am not up on Cobra prices, but I thought it was a decent find. The anodizing is worn in the usual places.

My Night Cobra

Ive been looking for one at a decent price but have only seen one at a local show and the price was crazy. I think the guy was asking $1,200.

I can play as I just got this 1968 Colt Cobra from an estate sale from my FFL. It has some honest holster wear but locks up tight. Was a police officer’s off duty gun. He purchased two guns back in 1968 (saw the receipt) I missed out on the Colt Python but grabbed this one. It has become my EDC.

Talo edition Cobra with the “Python” finish. The trigger is sublime for a snubby and it’s a shooter. Love it.

My beat up 74 Cobra that is my everyday carry. Only cost me $249 about 10 years ago. It ain't pretty but it's a fine shooter.

Here is a relatively uncommon Cobra. Early 1970s 3“ in .22 LR

Had been eye balling this 1975 Cobra in a pawn shop for a month or so. Finally, couldn’t take it anymore and it came home. When I got home and checked the date of my Detective Special, realized both are dated 1975. Some things were just meant to be.

Just showed this post to my wife along with the photos and she said, “…wow, that’s s a great looking pistol, I can see why you went back and got it.” Gentlemen, this is a first!

 

[azshot]

That's a nice nickel one. I carry one that is about that year, and just as nice. Very light in the pocket or holster.

 

[BryanJ]

The above blued Detective Special has always been my carry weapon of choice, but with the noticeable weight difference between it and the Cobra, I’ll probably change up.

I went to a local show today and ran into a friend who sells a few guns from his collection from time to time. I took a near mint factory nickel S&W M37 with the idea I might find something I liked better and my friend had a like new unfired .32 Cobra made in 1953 that was calling my name.

I wasn’t looking to get into .32 but why not. I looked around the show and went back and did an even swap. Neither came with the box or papers but I don’t really care about that.

Unfortunately the original grips were plastic and had shrunk and cracked and a set of rubber grips came on it.I ordered an original set of Colt wood period grips and will replace the rubber when they come in.

It took a little work to get a the dried oil out of it. It had been setting for 71 years. The action is working nicely but there’s some old gummy oil that needs flushed out of the shaft the cylinder rotated on. It’ll make a nice project for this week. I don’t think I’ll do any disassembly, just soak and flush it out with gun scrubber and penetrating oil.

Edit: New grips arrived today and look great and I finally got all the old oil out and it’s running great.

I inherited this one from my Dad. I was with him when he purchased it new in 1968. Still have the original box, all factory papers, and even the credit card receipt from the purchase.
