I have a 1974 Cobra Nickel 2 inch barrell that I have been thinking about getting rid of. It has a few very small pits and has been fired really very few times. The reasoning is I just don't like the nickel it just seems like to much upkeep for me with fingerprints , and the film they seem to get that you have to keep wiping them down. I was thinking about moving to something in the S&W Shield size. The question is as far as quality simpiicity and value what do you think just keep the Cobra or trade down? Oh and I thought about putting it on here but I have been off of here for a while and now I see we have new rules (which though my opinion doesn't count I don't agree with). I have been a member of this forum for a long time I just don't post much.
