Description
The Colt King Cobra 357 Mag 3 is a revolver chambered in 357 Magnum with a 3-inch barrel.
Colt King Cobra 357 Mag 3 Overview
Colt’s Manufacturing Company has built iconic American firearms since 1836, from the Single Action Army and the 1911 to the Python and the M4 carbine. The King Cobra is a modern stainless steel double action revolver built on Colt’s medium frame, available in Carry, Target and rimfire versions. Revolvers remain popular because they are simple to operate and very forgiving. There is no slide to rack and no magazine to seat, and a misfire is cleared by simply pulling the trigger again.
The trade-off is capacity and reload speed, so a few speedloaders or moon clips are worth adding. Practice the double action trigger pull regularly, because a smooth, steady press is the key to accuracy with any wheelgun.
Design and Features
It has a stainless frame and cylinder, a bright front sight on Carry models and adjustable sights on Target models, and a Hogue overmolded or wood grip. For carry, choose a holster that covers the trigger guard and holds the cylinder snugly, and practice reloading with speedloaders or speed strips until the motion is smooth. Keep the cylinder and forcing cone clean, since lead and carbon build up there first, and inspect the timing occasionally by watching the cylinder lock up as the hammer falls.
Handling and Carry
It is a durable, accurate revolver for carry, the trail and the range.
Trigger and Controls
The double action trigger is smooth and stacks little, and single action is crisp for careful shots.
Sights and Optics
The factory sights give a clear, quick sight picture, and an optic-ready slide (where fitted) lets you add a red dot whenever you are ready.
The 357 Magnum Cartridge
The 357 Magnum offers a good balance of power, accuracy, and recoil for its intended use.
Setup and Accessories
Pick a holster made for your revolver’s frame size and barrel length, and add speedloaders or speed strips so you can reload quickly.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the revolver and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner’s manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the breech face and slide rails. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
