As part of the original King Cobra series (1986–1992), this 1988 example reflects the first-generation configuration and markings. It is built on Colt's medium V-frame and features a six-shot fluted cylinder with DA/SA operation.
The revolver is constructed from carbon steel with a high-polish blued finish on the frame, barrel, and cylinder. A matte topstrap reduces glare, while the solid, non-vented rib and full-length underlug deliver the classic first-gen profile. The ejector rod is shrouded and fitted with a knurled tip.
The 6 inch barrel combines a solid rib with the full-length underlug and is paired with a pinned ramp front sight that has an orange insert. At the rear, a fully adjustable square-notch sight allows precise regulation.
Factory black rubber finger-groove stocks with gold Colt medallions provide a secure hold. Exterior rollmarks include the distinctive "KING COBRA" legend with the stylized cobra head, plus the Rampant Colt logo on the right side of the frame.
