USED COLT COBRA 38 SPECIAL AGENT "1970" REVOLVER

Colt Cobra .38 Special "Agent Style" 1970: A Flash of Mid-Century Brilliance

The Colt Cobra is a double-action revolver chambered in .38 Special and built on an aluminum frame. This revolver features a 2-inch barrel and a six-round cylinder, making it one of Colt’s lightweight snub-nose designs from its era. The frame carries a nickel finish that contrasts with the custom grips, which differ from the original factory configuration. The compact dimensions and alloy construction distinguish it from the heavier steel-framed Colt Detective Special of the same period.

The revolver’s nickel finish provides a reflective metallic surface across the frame and cylinder, while the custom grips introduce a unique appearance and handling profile. The Cobra’s short barrel and six-shot capacity reflect its classic configuration from the 1970 production timeframe. This piece is used, consistent with its age, and retains the defining mechanical layout typical of Colt’s D-frame revolvers, including the exposed hammer and swing-out cylinder for loading and ejection.

Included with the revolver are the installed custom grips, which replace the standard factory panels. No additional accessories or packaging are specified. The revolver originates from an estate collection, representing a vintage Colt configuration with a nickel finish and aluminum frame construction. All characteristics correspond to the described 1970-era Cobra in .38 Special with a 2-inch barrel and six-shot capacity.
