Description
There is something about a full-size stainless wheelgun in .22 LR that just makes sense. You get the heft, balance, and trigger of a serious revolver, but you feed it ammo that costs pennies a round. That is exactly what Colt built here. The King Cobra Target .22 LR takes the modern snake gun platform and chambers it in rimfire, with a 10-round cylinder that gives you four more shots per cylinder than the centerfire version. Whether you are teaching a new shooter, training on a budget, or just knocking cans around on a Saturday, this thing earns its keep fast.
Built Like a King Cobra Should Be
Colt didn't cut corners just because it's a rimfire. The frame, cylinder, and one-piece 6-inch barrel are all forged stainless steel made in the USA, so it carries and shoots like its .357 Magnum sibling. At roughly 34 ounces unloaded, the weight soaks up what little recoil the .22 LR produces and helps you hold steady on small targets at distance. The double/single action trigger gives you options too. Cock the hammer for slow, deliberate single-action work, or run it double action to build real trigger control that transfers straight over to your carry revolver.
Sights That Earn the Target Name
The sight setup is where this model separates itself from a basic plinker. Up front you get a bright fiber optic that grabs your eye quickly, and out back there's a fully adjustable target rear sight so you can fine-tune windage and elevation for your favorite load. The long 6-inch sight radius makes precise shooting noticeably easier than on snub or mid-length barrels. Black Hogue overmolded rubber grips round out the package with a secure, comfortable hold that won't beat up your hands over a few hundred rounds.
Why the King Cobra Target .22 Belongs in Your Safe
This is one of those guns that does double duty. It's a legitimate training tool for revolver fans who want cheap, high-volume practice, and it's also a Colt snake gun, which means it holds its appeal long after you bring it home. Between the 10-shot capacity, the target sights, and that stainless build, it's an easy revolver to recommend and a hard one to put down.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many rounds does the Colt King Cobra Target .22 LR hold?
The cylinder holds 10 rounds of .22 LR. That is a nice bump over the six-round centerfire King Cobra models, and it means more shooting between reloads whether you are training or just plinking.
Are the sights on the King Cobra Target adjustable?
Yes. The rear sight is a fully adjustable target unit, so you can dial in windage and elevation for your preferred ammo. Up front you get a bright fiber optic sight that picks up quickly in most lighting conditions.
Is this a good revolver for training or new shooters?
It's one of the best options out there for that role. The full-size stainless frame and 6-inch barrel give it a steady, forgiving feel, and .22 LR keeps recoil and ammo costs low. The double/single action trigger also mirrors a centerfire revolver, so skills built with this gun carry over directly.
Does the King Cobra Target .22 feel like the .357 version?
Very much so. It's built on the same forged stainless steel platform with a heavy-duty frame and Hogue overmolded grips, weighing in around 34 ounces. You get the same handling and trigger feel as the centerfire snake guns, just with rimfire-friendly running costs.
