This particular weapon is absolutely gorgeous. I put as many as 600 rounds through it in a single day. It is a solid well-built good looking revolver. Save your nickels and dimes and buy one of these, it will be a gun that will stay in the family and be handed down for a very long time.

Overall very positive but there were some issues - but do not take them too seriously. 1. Blem. I bought the cheapest Colt King Cobra that was offered. I did not note that in the ordering process but caught it after ordering by the word "BLEM" at the end of the stock number. I wasn't sure if I should reorder because I did not want a piece of crap for a savings of about $60. But it seemed too difficult and if there was a real problem, I had a return window - but the return would cost money. So, when it arrived I looked for problems. If there is a blem, I could not see it and they are more picky than I. I scratched it far worse in using it the first week than anything they had spotted. Also, if it was the polish, I could not see it. 2. The handle. Just hated the handle. It was made for the .357 mags and similar. I got the .22 LR. A vinyl oil glove would be sufficient for mitigating recoil on a .22 LR. You will want a new handle, be thinking about it. But wait until you get it, because the Cobra is a hunk and hand size is probably the biggest driver of what you want. I like the Colt King Cobra in spite of the size/weight. Would buy it again.
