There's a reason revolver folks got excited when Colt brought the snake guns back. The King Cobra Carry takes the six-shot .357 Magnum formula that made the original a legend and shrinks it into a 2 inch package you can carry every day. Where most compact magnums in this class give you five rounds, Colt gives you six, and that extra chamber matters when you're betting on a wheelgun. The all-steel frame and matte stainless finish shrug off sweat and weather, and at 26 ounces there's enough heft here to keep full-power magnum loads from beating up your hand.
This version wears a spurred, exposed hammer, so you get real double action and single action operation. Run it fast in double action for defensive work, or thumb the hammer back for a light, crisp single action break when you want to stretch its legs at the range. Colt's trigger work on the new King Cobra line gets a lot of praise, and it's easy to see why once you dry fire one next to the competition. The pull is smooth and consistent all the way through, with none of the stacking you find on lesser wheelguns. Fixed sights keep the profile snag-free, and the black Hogue Overmolded grip fills the hand with a full three-finger hold that soaks up recoil better than any bare steel backstrap ever could.
Because it's chambered in .357 Magnum, it also runs .38 Special all day long, which makes practice sessions a lot more pleasant and affordable. Load soft-shooting .38s for training and step up to full-house magnums when it's riding on your hip. Between the steel frame, the grippy Hogue rubber, and that six-round cylinder, this is a snub nose that's genuinely fun to shoot, not just tolerable. For home defense, everyday carry, or as the wheelgun that finally gets you into the Colt family, the King Cobra Carry is a hard one to pass up.
Yes. Any revolver chambered in .357 Magnum will safely fire .38 Special, since the .38 is essentially a shorter version of the same cartridge. Most owners practice with milder .38 Special loads and carry full-power .357 Magnum for defense. Just note it doesn't work the other way around, so never try to run .357 through a gun marked .38 Special only.
This model, part number KCOBRASM2BBS, comes with a spurred, exposed hammer, so you can shoot it in double action or thumb the hammer back for a lighter single action pull. Colt also makes a separate King Cobra Carry variant with a bobbed hammer that's double action only, so double check the part number if the hammer style matters to you.
The big advantage is capacity. Most compact .357 and .38 revolvers in this size class hold five rounds, while the King Cobra carries six. It's a bit larger and heavier than an airweight J-frame style gun, but that extra steel is exactly what makes full-power magnum loads manageable to shoot. It conceals well on the belt even if it's a little big for pocket carry.
Full-house magnum loads out of a snub nose are always going to have some bite, but this gun handles them better than most. The 26 ounce all-steel construction and the Hogue Overmolded rubber grip work together to soak up recoil and keep follow-up shots on target. If you're recoil sensitive, .38 Special or .38 +P loads are a great middle ground for both practice and carry.
