Colt King Cobra Target .22 .....

....anyone here have one of these ? If so what are your impressions ...fit and finish and over all quality ?
I handled one for the first time a short while ago ...someone I know has one . It's not inexpensive at around $900 but I thought it had the look of a quality handgun .

I recently bought a 2" version. No complaints, good trigger both SA and DA, reasonably accurate (a 2" gun is never going to be a "Target" gun), seems well made. A good cleaning and some Ren Wax and it shined up real nice. I switched out the grips both for looks and the stockers are a little small for me.

Im interested in them too. Dont know anyone that has one. I havent even seen one around here. I have over a dozen 22 revolvers but their just hard to turn down!!

Colt surely makes good looking revolvers.

The Smiths starts to look like they were assembled from hardware store parts.

Congratulations on a fine looking revolver. I hope it shoots as good as it looks.

I have one I've had for a couple years. I've only had it to the range once and had a lot of misfires. Need to take it with a bunch of different ammo and see what happens. I know that there was a lot of internet chatter about this problem when they first came out. Maybe they've solved the issue by now.

I bought one earlier this year, the 6" model. I've shot it but not really wrung it out for accuracy checking. I want to pit it against my 617 6" but my motorcycle & yard work keeps getting in the way...............

My question is always, "Would I buy it again?" The answer is always "yes" on this one.

I want to trash the rubber grips for some better wood ones though.

For the record, I have the new models Python, King Cobra .357 & .22. I also have an older blued Python 4" but have never shot it, sadly. Have some older Official Police guns, but those aren't germane. Based on my meager experience, Colt is making better wheel guns than Smith seems to be these days. How many decades has it been since someone could say that, I wonder?

Like all guns these days (mostly), I would heavily inspect it before I paid good $$ for one. H&K would be the exception to that, IMO. Love my H&K's!
