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'(.38 S&W, Not .32 ACP) 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 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 is also known to be the revolver used by Jack Ruby to shoot and kill Lee Harvey Oswald, President Kennedy's alleged assassin on November 24, 1963, after the President had been shot 2 days prior. The revolver is seen in the iconic photograph that captured the moment Oswald was shot.
