While waiting my turn on Beretta Range Day, I saw a Colt Cobra in the case.
It looks interesting, lightweight with excellent trigger - smooth and light but not too much so. The blueing on the cylinder is worn in splotches, but no rust. The timing looks good and so does lock-up.
I see that it is the alloy version of the Detective's Special - are the grips interchangable?
Do they have a bad reputation for wearing badly? Perhaps going out of time easily if shot much?
It one generation or serial number run of markedly better or worse quality than another? How do I differentiate between generations?
Is the speed changer size interchangable with any other revolvers? I seem to remember that Colt snubbies used the same speedloaders as some S&W's, but I don't remember which.
Last, is $300 a good price? I have other guns to fill the niche and don't believe in guns as an investment (unless it is obvious like a Python). It seems like a nice little piece.
Thank-you in advance.
