- Republican vs Democrat. Red State vs Blue State. Pro This vs Con That. Of all the debates raging in America today, none is more heated than one of the oldest: Colt vs Smith & Wesson. Today, Brownells Gun Tech™ Keith Ford has one for the "prancing horse" fans - the Colt Cobra snub-nosed revolver. Introduced in 1950, the Cobra offered a revolutionary break from revolver tradition - an aluminum frame. At 15 oz., the Cobra was a LOT lighter than the Colt New Service or an S&W Military & Police (Model 10). It led to a U.S. Air Force contract for the Aircrewman revolver, which went a step too far with its aluminum cylinder. Caught flat-footed, Smith & Wesson quickly came out with their aluminum-framed Airweight. The Agent model was a Cobra with a shortened grip frame. Both the Cobra and the Agent had 6-shot cylinders, something S&W's J-frame revolvers did not have. The Cobra was heavily redesigned in 1971, including the addition of a barrel shroud around the ejector rod. Cobra offered the Cobra in .38 Special, .38 Colt New Police (really .38 S&W with a flat-nosed bullet), .32 New Police, and .22 Long Rifle. The Cobra has figured in some notably nefarious events in mid-20th century history, which Keith tells us about.
