Several weeks ago I was at my local GS & the owner showed me a package that had just arrived. It was the Colt King Cobra 3" in 357 magnum. I drooled & asked if I could hold it & he smiled & said sure. I have never in my life felt a revolver that seemed to merge & become part of my hand. The balance was incredible. He saw the look on my face & then gave me some snap caps so I could feel the action. The trigger pull, especially in DA, was the lighest I've ever pulled that hadn't been worked on. Colt did not forget how it got its reputation. This was truly The King. Then after I read Chaim bought one, well, it was game over for me. Even my wife was amazed when she held it. I told her we were getting one no if &'s or buts. I got no argument from her. I picked mine up today & as I was filling out the paper work people were coming over just to see it. I wanted to immediately go over to their range but decided to take it home so I could give it a very light cleaning & lube.
I traded in my 5 shot 22 mag derringer & a Ruger 8 shot 22 revolver & bought mine from Buds, who said they had 3 left. After I bought mine the other 2 were gone. So now I have a LCR 327 in magnum, a EAA Windicator 2" 357 in magnum, a Glock 19 gen 4, and a 1978 4" Python & now The King Cobra 3". I finally understand why most of you out there are always looking for that one special gun. Now I have 2. Sorry to go on about this Colt but it's hard to explain the shear joy & pleasure I got holding it & knowing that it's mine.
I still can't figure out how to upload pics so I'll send them to one of my friends & ask them to post the pics for me.
I'm going back to my range after the holiday & see how it performs. I'll use 38 special P+135 grain Gold Dot ammo & also some 125 grain Hornady Critical Defense ammo.
