Looking at a Colt Cobra, at a local gun shop. She's stated to be a 1962, two tone aluminum frame and blued cylinder. I can't find this variation in any books, Is she legit?

No pic of my shrouded lightweight, but carry this often under a button down flannel .

Looks to me like someone bead blasted the frame. Heaven only knows why. I doubt very strongly it left Colt looking that way.

Here is one I came across recently. First 4" I have seen. It is in .32 np. If I remember correctly it was made in 1959.

Here is a nice Cobra with a fairly rare 4" barrel. It also came with the original numbered box. 38 caliber.

My Colt Cobra. I am deciding if I can keep it or not. Arthritis in my hands getting pretty bad.

I’ve been dealing with the same issue. I’m dealing with it though by reloading my own and loading them to the minimum safe loads. I use the Hogue rubber grips and load 125gr Berry’s plated bullets with Accurate Nitro 100NF at minimum to near minimum loads. I find fast powders and light bullets give less recoil.

I’m also using Caldwell padded shooting gloves and only shooting 50 rounds or less at a time. I’m able to shoot 50 rounds and not have pain. Also if I’m having a bad day of pain I use CBD salve on my wrists. I’m also considering using wrist braces / splints or ace bandages to help stabilize the joints.

I hope you find a solution. Love my Cobra!

I haven't purchased anything in quite some time. I had to have this one. 1969 Nickel Cobra in the original numbered box. I am almost positive it has only been factory fired...

Nice looking...better than the standard stainless version. All Colt would need to do is make a run in that finish with the original design exposed ejector rod and they would sell out in a heartbeat. TALO...Davidsons...are you listening?

I agree completely. This "special run" hit all the checkmarks for me;

classic wood grip panels
solid, brass bead sight
DLC finish (royal blue would be better, but that's not going to happen)

Those minor touches give it a whole new personality.

Here's a new addition. 1952 4" Cobra. I was happy to acquire this one as you don't see them often.
