Colt King Cobra Target .22 .....

[Eddietruett]

I bought a 4" about a year ago. SA was fine although a little heavier than I prefer but the DA was gritty. After a little stoning and polishing, the DA is as slick as my pythons and the SA lightened up to about 3lbs as well. It shoots so well I sold my 617 and model 18

Good looking revolver, so jealous!

I just recently picked up a 3" model. Altamont grips.

Looks great. Feels great. I haven't put the KCT22 on a scale yet but I was surprised at the heft compared to my Kimber K6S 3". I'm presuming it's almost 10oz more than the Kimber.

I just fired a few rounds through it so far to check its function alongside some other pistols that were getting more attention that range day.

It fired 50 rounds of CCI Mini Mags with no issue.

The trigger felt pretty nice. I don't have much to compare it to in .22lr revolvers other than an old M63 4" I used to have. The DA trigger on the 63 was horrible (the only thing heavier that I've experienced was an AMT .45 Backup) -- and I'm not usually bothered by a DA trigger. I only fired the Colt KCT DA out of personal habit and it seemed on par with the DA pull of the new .357 Mountain Gun. I don't own a trigger scale so, sorry, no specifics.

I couldn't get any better groups with the .22lr than I could with the 9mm, .45, & 38spl. I was firing alongside it.

Something about the sights on the Colt just didn't work for me. My eyes aren't getting any younger, but I don't normally have trouble with the front sight. Basic 3 dot white sights, Ameriglo Troopers, SIG XRay3s, Green FO, the brass bead on the Mountain Gun, whatever, but that red fiber optic just didn't work with my eyes. I could barely make out the red and couldn't distinguish between the edges of the front sight and the edges of the rear sight.

So I can't speak to its accuracy. Nor do I know how it handles a variety of ammo brands/types.

Still, initial impressions are that I'm infinitely happier with it than I was with my 6 shot, 4" model 63.

Get some Wilson sights they are much better.

I've been looking at them lately. (In pictures). That's a nice looking gun, but for a 22LR it sure looks pretty beefy. I think I missed what it weighs up above somewhere in the comments. Very nice looking.

The 4.25" version weighs 34 oz. For comparison, the S&W 617 weighs around 40 oz. It is more compact in person than it appears in photos. It looks to be slightly smaller than a Smith K frame, but larger than J frame.
