Early models also had a square-butt option. 38 Special Cobra with a 2-inch barrel was available with a nickel finish at additional cost. Standard Cobras were blued with round-butt grip frames. 22 LR Cobra was available only with the 3-inch barrel. 32 caliber version was available in 2- and 3-inch barrel lengths. 38 Special Cobra was available in 2, 3, 4, and 5 inch barrel lengths. In the mid-1960s, the Detective Special's and Cobra's grip frame was shortened to the same size as that of the Agent. The Cobra is the same overall size and configuration as the famous Colt Detective Special and uses the same size "D" frame, except that the Cobra's frame is constructed of lightweight aluminum alloy as compared to the all-steel frame of the Detective Special. The Cobra was made in two models: the First Model, made from 1950–1971 and weighing 15 ounces unloaded with 2-inch barrel, and an improved Second Model, made from 1972–1981, recognizable by its shrouded ejector rod and Baughman-style ramp front sight, with an unloaded weight of 16 ounces.
