There's something special about a full-size Colt snake gun in .22 LR, and this long-barreled King Cobra Target might be the best-looking way to burn through a brick of rimfire. Built on forged stainless steel with a semi-polished finish, it carries that classic Colt presence, and the 8-inch vented rib barrel gives it the profile of a proper target wheelgun. At 13 inches overall, it puts a long sight radius to work for you, which pays off every time you settle in on a bullseye.
Up front you get a red fiber optic that grabs light and pulls your eye right where it needs to be, paired with a fully adjustable rear sight so you can dial in your favorite load. The double/single action lockwork is where Colt's revolver revival really shines. Cock the exposed hammer and the single-action break is light and crisp, ideal for slow fire at distance, or run it double action to sharpen your trigger control without spending centerfire money on ammo. The Hogue OverMolded rubber grip with finger grooves and a padded backstrap fills the hand nicely, and with mild .22 LR recoil, you can shoot this thing all afternoon without a complaint.
Because the .22 LR case is so small, Colt fit ten charge holes in the swing-out cylinder instead of the six you'd get in the centerfire version. That means fewer reloads and more trigger time, whether you're plinking, working on fundamentals, introducing a new shooter to revolvers, or knocking around small game country. A recessed target crown protects the rifling, and the stainless build cleans up easily after a day of dirty rimfire ammo.
Colt only makes one rimfire revolver, and this is it. The 8-inch King Cobra Target is the pick for anyone who wants maximum sight radius and velocity out of the little cartridge, and it has the kind of fit and finish that tends to make these guns keepers.
The swing-out cylinder holds 10 rounds of .22 LR. Since the rimfire case is much smaller than the .38 Special/.357 Magnum the centerfire King Cobra runs, Colt was able to fit four extra chambers, which means noticeably more shooting between reloads.
For dedicated target work, yes. The longer sight radius makes precise aiming easier, and the extra barrel length squeezes a bit more velocity out of .22 LR. The trade-off is added weight and length, so if you want a trail or kit gun, one of the shorter versions may balance better, but for the bench and the bullseye line, the 8-inch is the one.
It's chambered for .22 LR, and that's what Colt specifies for it. One nice perk of a revolver over a semi-auto is that it doesn't rely on recoil to cycle, so it's not picky between standard velocity and high velocity .22 LR loads, from bulk plinking ammo to match-grade target fodder.
The rear sight is fully adjustable, so you can zero the gun for your preferred ammunition and distance. The front sight is a red fiber optic that gathers ambient light and shows up bright against dark targets, a big step up from plain black target sights for most eyes.
