Colt King Cobra Target 22 LR 3" 10rd Revolver

The 3" King Cobra Target sits in the middle of Colt's rimfire lineup, and for a lot of shooters that inch of extra barrel is the sweet spot. It hangs steadier than the snub without adding real bulk, and the added weight out front slows the muzzle down through a double action press. The cylinder holds ten rounds of 22 LR, which is the practical reason these guns get shot so much - you are reloading half as often as you would with a six shooter.

The frame, cylinder, and one piece vent rib barrel are US forged carbon steel wearing a polished blued finish, the sort of deep gloss that is getting rare on production revolvers. The barrel is crowned back from the muzzle to protect the rifling. A red fiber optic front sight picks up light quickly and pairs with a fully adjustable rear, so point of impact can be dialed in for the ammunition you feed it. The Hogue Overmolded rubber grip fills the palm and keeps the gun from twisting during recoil, minimal as that recoil is. Double action for speed, single action for a crisp break on paper - it does both without complaint.
