I was wondering what the thought of my fellow THR's are on this,i have and love a colt cobra and agent,the cobra is my EDC. Now today I was chatting with a nice guy I know from the gun shop(we got to talking about lightweight snubs for carry) and he says that as far as build quality goes,he feels that my two colt alloy framed snubs are better built then the ones today. Now hes an older gentleman but he seems to really know his stuff,he also said that yes the metals are better these days BUT the only advantage he saw to a modern alloy gun is the ability to use +p ammo regularly. Besides being able to shoot a steady diet of +p ammo do you feel modern aloy framed snubs are better in terms on internal parts and workmanship?
Now I realize that some feel newer is better but I can't help but thinking that these old guns are 40 and 35 years old respectfully. Yet they lock up like a bank vault and their actions are so smooth. So what do you guys think,should I get a new lightweight snub and retire the cobra? Do you prefer the old or the new alloy snubs?
