Colt Cobra (1st Issue) – .38 Special
The Original Lightweight Snub-Nose Classic
Up for consideration is a beautiful example of the Colt Cobra 1st Issue, produced during the golden era of Colt’s wheelgun manufacturing. Introduced in 1950, the Cobra revolutionized the concealed carry market by utilizing a lightweight aluminum alloy frame, offering the firepower of a 6-shot .38 Special at a fraction of the weight of a standard steel revolver.
