Colt King Cobra .357 Mag 3-Inch Polished Stainless DA/SA Revolver, 6-Shot, Fiber-Optic Front, Aftermarket Hardwood Grips
This King Cobra pairs Colt's polished stainless construction with a compact 3-inch, full-underlug barrel and the LL2 linear leaf-spring trigger system. It stands out with smooth two-piece hardwood finger-groove grip panels installed, retained by a cross-bolt screw with the backstrap fully exposed, a pinned green fiber-optic front sight, and a six-shot fluted cylinder. The revolver retains modern production identifiers, including the RA-prefix serial range and a laser-etched 2D data-matrix on the frame.

What’s Included
- Colt King Cobra revolver operations manual
- Colt OEM rubber grip (off-gun), finger-groove style with Colt medallion

- Colt factory blue hard case with model label (KCOBRA-SB3BB)

The 3-inch one-piece stainless barrel features a full underlug and recessed crown, delivering a compact profile with robust construction. The six-shot fluted cylinder rotates clockwise, and the latch uses Colt's pull-to-rear operation.
Colt's LL2 linear leaf-spring trigger system provides a smooth DA/SA action. A smooth-faced trigger and an exposed hammer with a checkered spur support deliberate double-action strokes and precise single-action work.
Sighting is straightforward and durable: a pinned, user-swappable green fiber-optic front sight pairs with a fixed rear notch integral to the topstrap. The front sight design allows quick replacement with other pinned options if desired.
Fit and finish are polished stainless throughout the frame, cylinder, and barrel. Notable factory identifiers include the RA-prefix serial format, a laser-etched 2D data-matrix on the frame, and left-side barrel rollmarks reading "KING COBRA" with the serpent logo over ".357 MAGNUM." This example is customized with smooth two-piece hardwood finger-groove grip panels (backstrap exposed), and the original Colt rubber grip is included.
