[[Image:ColtAgent.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Colt Agent - .38 Special. "Economy" version of the Colt Cobra, nearly identical visually, except the Agent was made of lighter alloys. More Current production models of the Agent had a ejector shroud along with other various finishes.]]

The '''Colt Cobra''' is a snubnose revolver, and is a lighter version of the [[Colt Detective Special]]. It holds 6 rounds, and is made for .22 LR, .32 NEW POLICE, NOT .32 ACP WHICH IS A RIMLESS AUTOMATIC CARTRIDGE or .38 Special ammunition. Weighing only 15 oz, the Colt Cobra was preferred by detectives and policeman over the competing Smith & Wesson revolvers at the time.
The Colt Cobra is today considered one of the most reliable handguns ever made (just behind the [[Colt Python]] and [[Single Action Army|Colt Peacemaker]]). While production of this revolver has stopped, it is still highly prized for its light weight and reliability.

The '''Colt Agent''' is a lower-cost version of the Cobra. The Agent has a lighter alloy frame than the Cobra and comes fitted with smaller grips, aiding in concealment. The Colt Agent was chambered only for the .38 Special cartridge and was offered only with a 2-inch barrel.

''The '''Colt Cobra''' or''' Colt Agent''' have been seen in the following used by the following actors:''

* [[Marvin J. McIntyre]] as Duke in ''[[Short Circuit]]''

The''' Browning BDA 380''' was designed in 1980 and offered for sale by FN Herstal. It is not a clone of the [[Beretta 80 Series Pistols - "Cheetah"|Beretta Cheetah]] as some believe. There are many minor differences including the placement of the decock/safety. It was adopted by the Belgian Police. It is listed as BDA 380 to distinguish it from the [[Browning BDA]] that is chambered in 9x19mm and a different handgun. The BDA 380 went out of regular production in 1997 but is still produced as a special run item for distributor orders.
