Description
The Colt King Cobra Carry takes everything that made the snake guns legendary and shrinks it down into a package you can carry all day. This is a six-shot .357 Magnum built on Colt's beefy frame, which means you get one more round than the typical five-shot snub while keeping the footprint tight. The whole thing runs on stainless steel from the 2-inch barrel to the cylinder and frame, so it shrugs off sweat, weather, and the kind of daily handling that comes with concealed carry.
Why the King Cobra Carry Hits Above Its Size
Chambered in .357 Magnum, this revolver also happily runs .38 Special and .38 Special +P, which makes it flexible for practice, training, and defense. Stoke it with full magnum loads when you want maximum authority, or drop down to softer .38 loads for range days and lower recoil. The all-steel build soaks up some of that magnum snap, and the extra chamber over a J-frame means you're not giving up capacity to carry a real fighting caliber.
Grips and Handling on the Colt King Cobra
Colt wrapped the grip frame in black Hogue Overmolded rubber, and that choice pays off the second you touch off a stout .357 load. The finger-grooved rubber fills the hand and tames muzzle flip better than hard panels ever could. Up front you get a brass bead front sight set into a steel blade, held by a single screw so it can be swapped for a fiber optic or tritium unit down the road if your eyes want something brighter.
Carry-Ready Out of the Box
This King Cobra Carry runs double-action/single-action with an exposed hammer, giving you the option of a deliberate single-action press when precision counts. It tips the scale right around 26 ounces unloaded, light enough for all-day belt carry but substantial enough to shoot like a real revolver. Backed by Colt's reputation for smooth triggers and tank-like reliability, it's a snub-nose that earns its keep both at the range and in the holster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the King Cobra Carry shoot .38 Special as well as .357 Magnum?
Yes. The King Cobra Carry is chambered in .357 Magnum, which means it also safely fires .38 Special and .38 Special +P. A lot of folks practice with cheaper, softer-shooting .38 loads and then load full magnums for defense.
How many rounds does the King Cobra Carry hold?
It holds six rounds. That gives you one extra round over most five-shot snub-nose revolvers in this class, thanks to Colt's heavier-duty frame and matching cylinder.
Can I replace the brass bead front sight?
You can. The brass bead front sight sits in a steel blade held by a single screw above the muzzle, so it's user-replaceable. Plenty of owners swap in a fiber optic or tritium front sight for faster or lower-light sight acquisition.
Is the King Cobra Carry a good concealed carry revolver?
It's built for it. With a 2-inch barrel, a compact all-steel frame, and a weight right around 26 ounces, it balances carry comfort with the ability to shoot a real .357 Magnum cartridge. The Hogue Overmolded grips help keep recoil manageable in such a light package.
