Title: The KING is Back
Post by: Nemo on January 26, 2019, 11:20:49 AM
Long Live The King!

If I have to sell my M1 I will get this soon.  I have other things higher on the list, but so be it.

All New Colt King Cobra
Colt King Cobra 2019

Following Colt’s successful re-entry into the Double-Action Revolver market in 2017, Colt introduces the all-new King Cobra in .357 Magnum. The King Cobra will be available in January 2019 through Colt stocking dealers.

The all-new King Cobra features American Stainless Steel construction, a heavy duty frame with a full lug 3 in. barrel, and the 6-round capacity that differentiates Colt small frame revolvers from the competition. The King Cobra also features the same user-replaceable front sight and Linear Leaf spring trigger (LL2) as the rest of the Cobra family.
MSRP: $899, www.colt.com (http://www.colt.com)

Damn!!!! I've got an original "King Cobra' and it was about $400 back in the 1980's. Mine is a Stainless model with a 6" barrel. The first thing I noticed about the one pictured is the lack of rear adjustable sights. What's with that? I guess that the 3" barrel makes Colt think its a belly gun and sighting isn't important. Anyway, I'm glad its back because dropping it from their line was a dumb ass move to start with. I compared my Colt 357 to my cousins S&W 357 (both with 6" barrels) and the S&W couldn't hit the ground but the King Cobra could hit Coke cans at 50 yards. My cousin thought that I was just a better shot than he was so we tried each other's guns and his shooting improved and my shooting went to crap. I once heard a story that the King Cobra was supposed to be an assembly line gun but all of them were actually made in the Custom Shop. Due to the quality and accuracy, I tend to believe the Custom Shop story.

He is nuthin.  King Cobra would take him out with one round at 500 yards left handed, upside down, pinkie on the trigger.
