I think you will enjoy it.

Neat little guns. I had one that was my great uncles. Carried it quite a bit until I got a S&W 442. Gave the Cobra to my dad and he's taken it on several motorcycle trips all across the country since then. I never tried to wear it out but it wasn't a bad little gun to shoot.

Awwww... you've gone and done it now. Them old Colt DA .38 revolvers are as addictive as can be. You'll wind up toting that thing around and shooting at dirt clods, leaves, sticks in a pond, and all sorts of other inanimate objects just to see it put a bullet right where it's pointed. Then you'll have to have a Dick Special, then an old Official Police, maybe an old Trooper if you can find one....

Voice of experience talkin' here.

The old Colt D frame 38s in all their configurations are very fine sixguns. I bought a Cobra (2") about 1967 and carried it and shot it extensively for several years. I also had a 4" Cobra that I liked very well.

I have found these small frame six shot Colts to be far superior to the Smith J frames with just a very little added size. By superior I mean, they handle and shoot like a larger service pistol. Very fine work can be done with these pistols.

Finding myself without one, I bought a fine 3" Detective Special a few years back. This one won't get away from me!

Enjoy your Cobra..it is a fine pistol.

I am just learning some more about the D frame Colts myself. Picked up a Police Positive Special in 32 W.C.F. last month that was a bit rough and have been trying to bring it back to life. Very neat pieces. Hopefully you will enjoy yours for many years.

They are light and easy packin
