New member here. I picked up my first snake gun at an auction in April. Looks to be well used and bore is pretty beat up but still a beauty. If it could only tell me it’s story! S/N puts it at 1965. Fits my hand perfectly but I probably won’t be shooting it.

Welcome and congrats on the Cobra. They seem to be perfect for carrying, light weight and all.

Your cobra looks very nice; congrats. I like a gun with a little wear so i don’t have qualms about being the first to scratch it. I do carry my 50s cobra from time to time, and shoot it once in a while using various target and SD rds; but I avoid +P.

Hi everyone, could anyone help she'd some light on my cobra's year of manufacture?
It doesn't come up on the Colt website lookup.
S/n is 128609

Added Tyler T Grips to my 1962 Colt Cobra. Makes a fine carry piece!

You’re in luck. The Colt Letter for my Cobra, S/N 128875, is July 9, 1962. Practically siblings!

P.S. I think the website needs the “LW” after the serial number to work.

Found my first nickel Cobra a few weeks ago.

Here is my 1st Cobra. 1974 Blue 38 special I bought in June. I plan on adding a pre 1972 Cobra to the collection soon.

This one used to belong to the Michigan State Police at one time. I probably should send for a letter one of these days.

Forgot I had this ......

I have my fair share of handguns, but none are any more enjoyable to shoot than this 2017 Cobra. Super accurate when I do my part.

Just picked up this guy at the pawn shop,very clean not a Mark on it. colt says born in "1974" even came with the vintage Idaho leather company holster to boot! Unfortunately no box or papers but I like it anyhow.....shoot even had to put my favorite watch in hock to get it but I feel it was the right decision.

I also made a spur the moment purchase of a Cobra the other day. Just picked it up, looks pretty good. I do like how much lighter it is from my usual carry, a Detective Special.

The LGS here has one just like yours. I think I need to go back and see if they have it still. Price is 695 and maybe they will come down.

I carry it every time I go out now. I like that I have the option of using a belt holster, or just putting it in my pocket. I switched out the big 70s grips with older rounded ones, with the light weight, it can be in your pants pocket and you barely know it.
