What's Included
- Colt Cobra Second Model .38 Special revolver
This Second Model Cobra incorporates the series’ defining updates: a short ejector-rod shroud and an integral ramped front sight. The rear sight is a square notch milled into the topstrap, which also carries serrations and a sighting channel for a clear, non-glare sight picture.
The lightweight aluminum alloy D-frame keeps carry weight down while retaining durability with a steel barrel and steel cylinder. It uses a six-shot fluted cylinder and a 2-inch barrel, giving this Cobra its classic compact profile. The revolver wears a bright metallic finish.
Controls and handling details include a left-side push-to-the-rear cylinder latch, a knurled ejector-rod tip, and a smooth trigger face. The action is double-action/single-action with an exposed hammer. Two-piece checkered wood stocks mate to the round-butt grip frame for a secure hold.
Made in the United States in 1977, this Cobra carries the Colt Rampant Pony logo on the sideplate and the hallmarks of the Second Model configuration. It is a straightforward, fixed-sight .38 Special built on Colt’s compact D-frame.
