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 [[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.
