Colt Cobra Weight - The Colt Cobra is a lightweight, aluminum-framed, double/single action, 6-shot, short barrel revolver produced from 1950 to 1981 (although a new Cobra model has recently been re-released).
It was mostly in .38 Special, such as .38 New Police, .32 Colt New Police and .22 LR.

The Cobra was produced in two models: the first model, built from 1950-1971, and the improved second model, built from 1972-1981, recognizable by its wraparound ejector bar.
Rifleman Review: Colt King Cobra
The Cobra is the same overall size and configuration as the famous Colt Detective Special and uses the same "D" size frame, except that the Cobra's frame is made of lightweight aluminum alloy compared to the Detective Special's steel frame.
The .38 Special Cobra was available in 2″, 3″, 4″ and 5″ barrel lengths, and a 2″ barrel version was available with a nickel finish at an additional cost.
This particular example is a First Model Cobra with a round stock and original wood grips, 2 inch barrel and hammer cap.
There is some wear around the muzzle as well as along the edges of the front of the top strap and frame, the sides of the trigger guard, the bottom of the grip and the front edges of the cylinder.
Colt Police Positive Special
There are also a few, very small, light scratches in places on the frame, but nothing major.
The original wooden grips are still even, but without any other deep scratches or dings.
This firearm is suitable for home self-defense as well as everyday concealed carry, although the slightly longer 3-inch barrel may make it a bit bulky to conceal for a small-framed person.
These firearms can also have some value to collectors as Cobras are top quality revolvers that are often highly sought after.
