What is the COLT - KING COBRA® 357 MAGNUM?

COLT KING COBRA® 357 MAGNUM

Colt made big waves in recent years with the return of several of the company's "snake guns," revolvers named after famous slithering critters like the Python, Diamondback and Cobra. The King Cobra, chambered in .357 Magnum, made a triumphant return to the market in 2019, giving modern shooters many of the features that made the earlier snake guns so desirable. Beyond just those revived features, though, the Colt King Cobra also incorporates many elements that make this gun even better than the original generation of Colt revolvers, thanks to improved technology. The second-generation trigger system in this King Cobra provides a smooth, clean, crisp trigger pull in both double-and single-action modes.

Barrel length: 3 inches
Overall length: 7 inches
Weight: 1.75 pounds
6-round cylinder

Each Colt King Cobra is built on a rugged, stainless-steel frame that ensures this heavy-duty wheelgun will stand up to whatever punishment you have in store, whether it's scraping by brush in the backwoods or handling heavy loads on the range.

Fabulous trigger

I love this gun. Can't afford a Python so got a 3"King Cobra. The trigger is buttery smooth. Best trigger in a factory revolver. The rubber grips help a lot w felt recoil.

Range review

After adjusting to a revolver, I found the kc to be very accurate at 7 yards. Trigger is excellent. A bit heavy for concealed carry. But knew that going in. The kc took out the “x” in the target. Have carried other wheel guns but the kc is my new favorite.

Excellent Lightweight Colt

I've owned this King Cobra since 2021 and put a variety of ammo through it - it has been 100% reliable and rock-solid. The trigger is smooth as glass. Highly recommended.

Good so far but could be improved

PROS: Nice Fit & Finish appearance, Amazing Trigger / accurate, Decent grip, Great size and weight, Easy to change front site (fiber option and night site upgrade front site options on Brownells site). You Will be able to shoot this revolver more accurately than most carry revolvers and even more accurately than some target revolvers. Colt seems to have fixed some of the early design flaws with this revolver causing some people to have issues. CONS: While it has gotten better during break-in, the bolt stop was sticking in some bolt notches making it a little difficult to open cylinder at times. (Expected better for a revolver at this price). Down side of design making it a good trigger seems to be that the hammer struggles to strike the firing pin hard enough on ammo with hard primers.... Will failure to fire irregularly with certain ammo at types with hard primers. Three click long reset trigger makes this revolver easier to short stroke than most revolvers when trying to rapid fire..... you must let trigger ALL THE WAY out each time you pull it to fire again. Only has a one year warranty from manufacturer that isnt transferable..... Colt, dont you have faith in your own product?? *Dealing with Brownells is great!!
