Little Known Fact

(Moved from Death Wish 3 page.)

A little known fact, Jack Ruby used a Colt Cobra to shoot Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963, while he was in custody of the Dallas Police Department after Oswald allegedly assassinated President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963.

.32 'New Police' caliber?

It was originally posted in all capitals letter (which I've changed), but still, I've never heard of such a thing. Is it simply an obscure chambering specific to this gun? StanTheMan 20:47, 17 July 2011 (CDT)

The 38NP was simply the 38 S&W. Colt couldn't handle making a revolver that was chambered for a round named after it's competition. So it changed the name from 38 S&W to 38NP. 38NP is how it was marketed by Colt. --Jcordell 21:50, 6 September 2011 (CDT)

Wrong caliber, buddy. He means .32 New Police; that was a Colt marketing name for .32 S&W Long. Said round is an old, essentially obsolete revolver cartridge. Much like .357 Magnum revolvers can chamber .38 Special and .38 Long Colt, .32 H&R Magnum guns can chamber the older, less powerful round. Chitoryu12 (talk) 00:55, 15 September 2013 (EDT)
Yep my mistake. Need to pay attention that what is written. --Jcordell (talk) 13:26, 8 February 2016 (EST)

New Colt Cobra?

Is the new Cobra that Colt produces have the same internals as this one?--H3nry8adger1982 (talk) 22:15, 17 February 2017 (EST)H3nry8adger1982
