Colt's dual action/single-action.357 Magnum King Cobra was introduced in 2019. The 6-shooter is steel and features an interchangeable front sight, a full-length, snag-free ejector, and a safety transfer bar to prevent accidental discharge.
King Cora is a continuation of the success story of the.38 Special Colt Cobra line that was relaunched last year.
The Colt King Cobra was conceptualized in a matter of seconds. It takes the essence from the Colt Cobra and uses it to create a more robust and intimidating caliber.
The King Cobra frame is classic, but it's not. Handling is easier because the grip sits farther back than traditional revolvers. Although the shape is still an arc, it is longer. The cylinder features backward bullet fluting. An oval-shaped trigger guard is located at the bottom of the cylinder, in place of the egg-shaped one.
This bulge at the bottom allows for more room for gloved operations. This gun can fire—38 Special ammunition.
Let's take a look at the three King Cobra variations. The King Cobra Carry DAO base has a sturdy frame, rounded corners, a 2" barrel, brushed steel finish, and a Hogue over-molded rubber grip that provides excellent finger recesses. It has a frame trench rear sight and a simple front one.
The overall length is 7.0".
The second model is almost identical to the first, except that it uses flat stainless steel rather than brushed stainless.
The Colt King Cobra Target is last. Because it has a 4.25" barrel, it is longer and heavier than the King Cobra brothers. It has a square bottom with a matte stainless finish.
The Target model is also unique because of its fiber optic front sight, which sits on top of a ramp. Adjustable rear sight. The grips are made of custom wood and have texturizing in the back, lovely contour swirls, and a metallic Colt Medallion at the top.
