Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Following World War Two Colt was one of the first gun companies to begin making guns using new "Space Age" materials like aluminum. Colt's first entry in the field was with the aluminum framed Colt Commander automatic of 1949. Their second entry was with an aluminum frame version of the Detective Special. Colt called this aluminum alloy "Coltalloy". This new model was named the Colt Cobra. This was the first time Colt named a gun after a snake, and led to a series of "Snake" named pistols made by Colt. It was basically just the Detective Special with an aluminum frame, side plate, and cylinder crane. The barrel and all other parts were made of steel. It was produced from 1950 to 1981.

Over the years, the Cobra was offered in barrel lengths of 2 inches, 3 inches, and 4 inches. There were a few rare 5 inch square butt models made for the Venezuelan government. Calibers were .38 Special, .32 New Police (.32 S&W), .38 New Police (.38 S&W), and .22LR. Finishes were bright blued steel parts with blue-black anodized aluminum parts, or in full bright nickel. 

The First Issue Cobra was made from 1950 to 1972. Early versions had a square butt, later versions had a round butt. In 1966 the old style long grip frame was changed to the same short grip frame as the Agent. This was to simplify production. After this, the wood grips overlapped on the bottom of the frame to give a full size grip.
