Colt King Cobra (new model)

[elktrout]

Some of the reviews I have seen on the new King Cobras are fairly positive, even for the fixed sight models. What kind of issues have arisen with it? Is it proving to be durable, especially if most of the shooting is done with 38s?

I got one in November. Has been reliable enough. No issues. Have shot .357 ammo only. Temper that with some loaded down to 38 level. Lead round nose, 158 grain Hornady and even hollow base wad cutters. I like it. replaced the grips. Not fond of rubber.

No issues. None. Excellent trigger. Accurate, reliable, eminently packable, concealable, but big enough to handle stout loads painlessly.

Those grips look great on that gun.

I had two trips back to colt for misfires. Very frustrating. Works perfect now. This was all before CZ ownership. I have 100% confidence in it now so it’s all good. The trigger is phenomenal and it is my pride and joy

The main issue is these new Colt guns are inherently unsafe!

They don’t have a nanny-aproved internal lock with gaping access hole on the side of the frame.

You mean a FOD hole?
