What’s Included
- Colt King Cobra .357 Magnum revolver
This King Cobra is part of Colt’s classic snake-gun lineup and represents the original blued-production variant. The early-style barrel address and CK suffix tie it to the first-run 1986–1992 production window, a detail many enthusiasts seek out.
The 6-inch heavy-profile steel barrel features a full underlug and solid rib, paired with a shrouded, full-length ejector rod capped by a knurled tip. The polished blued finish extends across the frame and cylinder, complemented by the Rampant Colt frame logo.
Sight regulation is handled by a ramped front with an orange insert and a fully adjustable rear. The revolver uses a double-action/single-action system with a smooth-faced trigger and an exposed, checkered hammer spur. Capacity is six rounds of .357 Magnum (also compatible with .38 Special, not included here as an assumption).
Factory wraparound finger-groove rubber grips with gold Colt medallions provide a secure hold and retain the revolver’s period-correct look. All-steel construction and U.S. manufacture underscore its build quality and its place in Colt’s late-20th-century production.
