Colt King Cobra Target 22 LR 4.25" 10rd Revolver

Of the three barrel lengths Colt offers on the King Cobra 22, the 4.25" Target is the one built for accuracy first. The longer one piece carbon steel barrel carries a vent rib and a recessed target crown, and the added mass out front is what steadies the gun when you are trying to shave a group down at 25 yards. Ten rounds of 22 LR fill the cylinder, so a shooter can work through a full string of slow fire without breaking position to reload.

Sights are the reason to buy this version. A red fiber optic front sight glows in almost any light and sits against a fully adjustable rear, which means you can zero for a specific brand of ammunition and leave it there. The trigger works in both modes - a smooth double action stroke for practice under time, and a single action hammer cock for the times accuracy is all that matters. The frame and cylinder are US forged carbon steel under a polished blued finish, and Hogue Overmolded rubber grips give a full firing grip without the checkering biting the hand over a long session. It is a serious rimfire target revolver that happens to wear a famous name.
