Yes, the Blued version of the Colt King Cobra were produced in very limited quantities versus the Stainless version. Unfortunately Colt never has disclosed the production numbers of these so guestimates are make by actually seeing them in the wild. The shorter barrels do tend to be more sought after with the 2.5" being the hardest to find.
