The Colt King Cobra 357 Magnum revolver is a compact, hard-hitting wheelgun built for shooters who want real stopping power in a carry-ready package. This 3-inch stainless steel revolver delivers the versatility of double- and single-action operation with the reliability Colt's reputation is built on. Whether you're training at the range, carrying for personal defense, or keeping one in a nightstand, the King Cobra's six-round cylinder, exposed hammer, and purposeful ergonomics make it a natural choice for serious revolver shooters.
The gun's all-stainless construction—from the one-piece barrel through the recessed target crown to the forged frame and cylinder—means this isn't a gun that demands babying. The 357 Magnum chambering gives you real ballistic authority, and it'll also reliably fire 38 Special for practice or reduced-recoil work. At 28 ounces unloaded, it's light enough to carry all day without fatigue, but substantial enough to manage recoil and sight picture recovery, especially when firing full-power magnum loads.
Handling and control come from Hogue's OverMolded rubber grips in black, which lock into place with genuine texture and purchase—not slick plastic. The brass bead front sight and integral notch rear sight are straightforward, fixed, and proven. Trigger action runs smooth in both double-action (7–10 lbs) and single-action (3–4 lbs) modes, so you can work the gun however the situation demands.
| Caliber | 357 Magnum (357 Mag); also chambers 38 Special |

| Unloaded Weight | 28 oz |
| Front Sight | Brass bead, fixed |

At 28 ounces and 3 inches, it's compact and light enough for daily carry, especially in a waistband or jacket holster. The snub nose keeps the overall package trim, and the stainless construction handles weather and handling without worry. It's a solid choice if you prefer revolver reliability in a defensive carry gun.
Yes. The King Cobra is chambered in 357 Magnum and will reliably fire 38 Special ammunition. Many shooters use 38 Special for practice and training due to lower recoil and cost, then load 357 Magnum for carry or duty.
In double-action, pulling the trigger cycles the hammer back and fires the round in one motion—useful for quick shots and self-defense. Single-action requires you to manually cock the hammer first, then press the trigger; this gives a lighter, cleaner trigger pull (3–4 lbs versus 7–10 lbs in DA) and is common for precision work at the range. The exposed hammer lets you do both seamlessly.
The revolver is fitted with a fixed brass bead front sight and a fixed integral notch rear sight. Both are simple, proven designs that are quick to pick up in close quarters and reliable in any light. They're not adjustable, so shot placement comes from knowing your gun's zero at your chosen distance.
