My Dad passed last Nov, he gave me a 1959 Colt Cobra his Dad purchased, he was a Detroit cop. Grandpa must not have carried it often as it is like new with the original box and paperwork. I was advised to not shoot it as it seems to have rarely been fired at all.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry for your loss. If you decide to shoot it or just keep it as a reminder of your father's service, I'm sure it will fill the role nicely.
@@30secondtactics Thank you. He left a few others as well, this one and the 1936 S/42 Luger are the highlights. It also in in excellent condition with 2 magazines and holster.
@@30secondtactics Thank you. He left me a few of them, the Colt and a 1936 S/42 Luger with 2 magazines and holster are the sweet ones. Also a Beretta 92FS, again in damn near perfect condition.
Comment about recoil😢 is it comfortable to shoot being aluminium and all........
Recoil isn't bad but it would be better with better grips.
My Dad was a police officer from 1962 to 1970. He carried a Ruger Speed Six .38/.357 among others.
RUGER makes some great guns.
If he didn’t work past 1970, he never carried a Speed Six on the job. It wasn’t in existence then.
I have two nickel plated Cobras, one from 1968 and one from 1978
Nice
