Combat Cobra...someday

[Dagga Boy]

Just thought I would post a picture of my Colt Covra that has become one of my favorite guns....and it is totally emotional. I own newer, better, more practical, and reliable revolvers. For some reason, this one has that feeling about it of great balance...physical, emotional, and a desire for a life where this would be the only gun I needed.
It is an older short frame Cobra. Red painted sight, blue, great action, and it is now wearing my high end Panamanian Cocobolo Spegel Checkered Boot grips. Enjoy

Nice, as usual.

Love the old Colt snubbies with the exposed, unsupported ejector rod, whether Dick Special, Cobra or Agent.
There's just something about that old classic design, difficult to define but easy to appreciate.

Other side.......

There have been big city detectives who spent whole careers with just one of these things. It makes sense if you play the numbers and percentages....but I still have a hard time with it for more than around the house or inside the walls. I can see why such legends as Jim Cirillo was never without one, and Tom Givens has one on his ankle most of the time.

I was putting some of my D frames away last night in the vault as I have figured with the VP 9's, the M&P340's, and the 642's, I have enough guns around......but I just couldn't put the Cobra away. I am planning on getting another set of extended versions of these grips on one of my 2.5" Diamondbacks that should be gorgeous as well.

Nobody would object if you posted pictures of Diamondbacks.

I had a 4" 22 Diamondback in the mid 80's. One of many guns I dearly wish I had kept. I passed on a 2 1/2" 38 Diamondback in the 90's, another regret, not grabbing it.

In before "it'll get you killed in the streets." Love revolvers. Love snubbies. Want a DS.

I know nothing of revolvers. I need a class and a loaner.

Just got this one from an 82 year old lady who bought it new in 1972, they put grips on it, a trigger shoe and loaded it for her at the shop where she bought it. Sat in the closet till I bought it last week. That is really the story that emphasizes how many folks in America are armed. Had the gun as a "insurance policy" for over four decades.....and it was never fired.
