From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Colt King Cobra revolver, chambered in the .357 Magnum cartridge, was in production beginning in 1986 and was discontinued in late 1990s. The .357 Magnum chambering also accepts .38 Special and the higher power .38 Special +P cartridges.

King Cobra was based on the earlier Trooper (such as the venerable Trooper Mk III) revolvers but featured a more modern design with full length underbarrel lug and solid top barrel rib. Sights were fully adjustable. It was intended as a less expensive alternative to the Colt Python. King Cobras were made from both blued steel and stainless steel. The King Cobra is an all-around versatile gun, suitable for sport, law enforcement duty, self-defense and even hunting. It's smooth and crisp trigger pull make it great for target shooting as well.
