The "mid 50s to early 70s" Cobra had a half-moon sight and an free-standing ejector rod, just like the Detective Special it was derived from. (Look at the Cobra Jack Ruby used to shoot Lee Harvey Oswald.) The ramp and the enclosed ejector rod were put on all fixed-sight D-frames (DS, Cobra, and Agent) in the early to mid 70s.
I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.
You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
I think the D-frame with the ramp sight and the enclosed ejector rod came out around 1974. If so, not the early 60s.

ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that's a Photoshop of an old Gleem toothpaste advertisement.

It's really good, but I don't think it's real.
Sean, you are correct. It's a joke.
