This past weekend I bought a Colt Cobra .38 for the wife and I. It was one of the few that she was able to fire double action, and we decided on it over a (used) S&W Model 36. A nice bonus was that we were able to get the six shots with the Colt versus the Smith. The day before we stopped into one of the shops in town here and the manager went ahead and comped us a rental Model 60 stainless and a box of Winchester .38's, the 158 grain I believe. She was able to handle it well, and even though she's petite she had no trouble with the factory loads. Unfortunately we didn't buy the revolver through this shop, but they have my business from now on.
The Colt seemed to fit the bill well because not only can she operate it single and double action, but she liked the grips. There's something wonderful about your wife saying, "I think we should buy this gun..." I have to admit it is in nice condition, the cylinder is extremely tight and the bluing is 95% plus. I'm thinking it may become my CCW if I ever get around to getting my permit.
Has anyone had any experience with this model? I think it's the right choice for us because she will be able to fire it comfortably with the wadcutter rounds I have for practice, and it can be a dual purpose weapon and serve as a CCW. I'd love to hear your opinions/experiences.
