First saw this review shortly after buying my Colt Target.
I find the package too beautiful to put rubber grips on it. I de-burred and rounded the trigger guard to save my knuckle - then took some wood off just behind it allowing my hand to get up higher on the grips. Where I wrap my right thumb over I removed a bit more wood for it to ride in. I took 80 grit paper to the smooth areas front and back. Personalized, I guess you could say…
…anyway, I love shooting .357 ammo out of this this thing and I do appreciate this honest review of a very fine revolver.
I used to own and original Python 4” barrel and a King Cobra 4” and the worst mistake was selling them. I purchased a new Python in 6” and love it.
Excellent no frills review. Clean and to the point. Love it, and you.
Thanks a bunch! This trip was fun. 10/10 would do it again!
Enjoyed the review, thank you.
Thanks for watching, Andy!
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching!

Who loves you?

Guilty!

Smart to shoot right off the bat. Fine vid as usual! Thanks
I have this same gun and I love it, the trigger is awesome
We love you too pat!
😘
Colt has ways to go before they are back at where they were on revolver quality.
Graham Stewart Possibly, have we had time to determine that yet?
Jeffrey Root I think we have. The first gen are pretty inconsistent, whereas the S&W guns are way ahead. I honestly hope they eventually beat out the S&W, especially for the price.
Exactly
As the owner of over 40 new and old colts , I highly disagree. The quality is great actually
I own 16 Colt single actions. My 2012 New frontier has the best fit and finish of any of them.
Great review pat.. like how old revolver are coming back out. Love colt one best handgun makers. Just way out my price level.
Thanks a ton, James!
Good TNVC lead in
Thanks! That's one of my favorite ways.
Took my new king cobra target to the range today. It performed flawlessly. I like it better then my 1974 python.
I like mine enough that originally I was thinking about getting a Python... but now not so much. It shoots really well and is also an attractive pistol. I will still get a Anaconda though.
I am taking mine to the range today. Bought it a few days ago and I am very anxious to let her rip. Does anybody know if self defense 38 +P is OK to run in this gun ??
@@chrissourp6807 the manual says it is
@@MrAkaPro Thank you. Mine runs like a champ. Love the gun. Thanks again for the reply !
Good Sir, I just bought this fine hand gun and can't wait to try it 👍😉 Thank you very kindly for your OUTSTANDING review and field tested video mon ami Cheers 😉👍🍻
Nice review, did you get rubber grips for the king cobra? Is so, where?
Id say the competitor is more like S&W's model 66. But still, beautiful gun, i bought one for my friend as a best man gift at his wedding, i hope he likes it!
Love the grips!!
Hello fine Sir!
They look nice but they suck when shooting magnums. It’s too slick and slides
Awesome gun 🔥👍🏼
Excellent review Pat and definitely a good looking revolver! I love you 😘 and Andrew too so he doesn't get all jealous 🤣
Yup. That's actually his line anyway.
Very Nice!!
Buffman!
Very nice revolver!!.....next on the list!!
Always nice to have a list. 😁
Have an old Taurus 689, got it from my grandfather and it’s basically the budget model of these. I personally like it a lot but I know QC in Taurus’s made now are beyond lenient
I've had good luck with Taurus revolvers lately.
Pat RMG that’s good to know, the one I have was produced in the early 90s and hasn’t had an issue since
Traded my KC 3inch model for a S&W 686 3-5-7 3inch.
We love you too, brother!!!
😘
We are all one family, as God is our Father/Dad!
Great revolver
I found the altamont grips to be too big and too smooth for my personal liking. I ended up putting Hogue grips on it and it feels a whole lot better. I would’ve preferred pachmayr grips but they didn’t fit the gun well though the website says they can.
Do you think King cobra target is good enough for shooting 375 hard cast heavy bullets, such as buffalo bore 180 gr. hard cast"/ I am thinking to use it as a bear protection in Alaska. Any suggestions?
No. This is a medium weight gun. Good to go with standard magnum pressures, but I wouldn't shoot Buffalo Bore Bear Loads in it.
In my experience Kohl's have wonderful barrels, and not such great triggers
Of course I'm used to Smith & Wesson triggers, so obviously the cold triggers not going to feel right to me LOL
I too am used to a Smith trigger. A little more work and I'd have this Colt conquered.
Wonder if the rubber grips on the 2 in, 3 in, models fit the the target model? The wood grips are pretty but they suk !. 😢
Did u find any rubber grips. I can’t find any
I'm wearing that shirt right now lol
Great minds!
Based on everything I've read about this gun, I was under the impression this gun had a matte finish, I have both the anaconda and the python, in this video the king cobra also looks polished, is that accurate
So glad I picked up a new 4” 686-3 but I’d be happy to have this instead
Nice review
It'd definitely be hard to replace the 686-4 that I showed on the tabletop. That one's my personal piece. I love it.
Nice
Much agreed!
Not really a revolver guy but i will feed the algorithm 😆
Mmmmmm. Feed me.
I NEED THAT SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That shirt needs you too.
Pat RMG I like your shirt you have on. Where did you get it?
I don't really remember, but I think i got it at Walmart before I stopped shopping there 2 or 3 years ago.
That shirt is awesome.
Seems fitting some days. 😁
@@PatRMG just some?
My king cobra comes back from the factory today because it broke before I got to shoot it :)
Oh wow. Care to elaborate?
@@PatRMG Couple weeks after buying I hadn't made it to the range yet and took it out of the safe and randomly the action was broke, couldn't pull the trigger or hammer unless you forced it, and even then it was tough. Before that though it was fine and had a nice trigger pull, when i got it back today the DA is still nice but the single action is worse and the hammer pull feels a little less smooth
Rubber grips, screw that!?!? just make grips.....
out of the bones of your enemies
Well that's one way to do it. 😂
I like your style.
As a bonus, skulls make great cups. Just ask a Bulgarian Khan.
I hate the grips on that thing and underwood rounds stick in the cylinder 158grain nickel cases. Other than that the rear sight is too loose. Overall im not a fan and plan to safe it with my other snake guns. 686 got it beat
Nice gun. How is the price compared to a Python?
The King Cobra hovers around the 1k mark.
@@PatRMG thanks
Colt only the best
Many people complains about the grips been uncomfortable, not ergonomic and you hand will slide to the top. I like the gun but If I get one (which I plan to) first mod is change grips. I went to a store hold it up myself and confirmed it is true, don't like it at all. Nice Vid though.
Is it just me to those 1st 6 shots Sound like it had a silencer
Brand new audio setup. Ironing the kinks out of it.
A suppressor will not work in a revolver, regardless of what Hollywood would like you to believe as ignition of the cartridge takes place in the cylinder, and not in a sealed chamber like in a semiauto, the only exception to this rule is found in the old Russian nagant revolvers in which squeezing the trigger, moves a steel plate forward against the rear of the cylinder forcing it against the barrel, sealing it.
@@PatRMG ahhh I gotcha
@@ernestclements7398 You clearly misunderstood my comment on the audio system as a indication of A lack of knowledge on my part the Mechanical working of the firearms family, you are mistaken.
is that a new fangled double action??? ha!
New fangled single action! I shoot so little single action that my muscle memory failed me! Added it to the video for some of that oh so good comic relief.
@@PatRMG i only have one revolver. my grandfather's. ruger 22. it's great to shoot and remember good times.
I have this gun, and I get your point about the grips. For me, they're just slightly too large to be 100% comfortable, so I slip a bit. My approach is to annihilate the target in less than 3 rounds so it's not an issue. :-)
Very nice approach! 3 rounds is also more economical. 😁
@@PatRMG Especially these days, when it's $5 a round to plink at cans.
Nice shirt 👕 lol 😂 so true
Does it still unthread at the egector leaving you helpless to reload?
That didn't happen, fortunately.
Sweet! I need some Colts in my inventory, all I have is S&W!
My collection is primarily S&W too.
Another Tennessean here in Iowa? Still here?
Will be back mid to late October.
@@PatRMG Where in Iowa were ya?
@@turn-n-burn1421 Grinnell, IA. It's where Brownells HQ is located.
@@ar15com That's about an hour from me, roughly. Been there a few times. I don't guess you'll announce when you're coming back? Exactly.
Where are the gold bead sights that were promised for this gun, and the new Python?
I've seen others with a gold bead. This one came with fiber optic.
I know that I do love the gold bead on my Performance Center 627.
@@PatRMG I do as well. I know they have sold the King Cobras with that sight, and said they fit the new Python. The problem is that Colt says to contact Brownells, and Brownells don't don't jack squat and says contact Colt.
I am getting sick of the circle jerk. The only sighting options offered for either, are the fiber optic sight, and a night sight. I have no interest in either, and wish they would have just shipped the Pythons with the gold bead sight instead of the fiber optic.
Saw one in a shop yesterday, price? 1,999.00 with tax over two grand for a revolver, with Colt you are paying too much for the name, give me a Ruger or S&W any day!
That’s an insane price!!!
.357 magnum is the only ammo left on store shelves.
The ammo used in this video was actually hard to find.
The only ammo they had my local Academy was 9 mm shotshells.
My local shop has plenty of 41 magnum and 500 SW.
I can hook you up with tons of .25, .32, and some nice 45-70.
Colt cylinder latch goes the wrong way. Change my mind.
The cylinder latch is indeed backwards.
You're all a bunch of cheaters! 😛
@@ar15com Shameless. 😁
The colt cylinder latch does not go the wrong way, you go the wrong way!
Really though Everything else on the revolver goes to the rear. the hammer, the trigger, everything goes to the rear why wouldn't the cylinder release
Agreed, but it still gives me chubbs
Beautiful revolver. That 686 would take my money first though.
Yup. That 686 is one of my favorites.
She's pretty. Curious of the msrp.
Lists around 900 to 1k.
@@PatRMG Thanks for the 411. Used Pythons are going for about $1200 + in these parts. Granted not the same thing...
Just another toy to add to the list of unaffordable. Lol! Good job tho and I dig the opinions.
Thanks for watching! I'll usually have an opinion on a wheelgun.
Colt.
F**k the company, love (almost all of) the products.
Tell us how you really feel. 🤣🤣
@@PatRMG I did?
@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz A good friend of mine always says that.
I love you...
With this kind of support, how can I go wrong?!?!

And for that, we love you!
Who else wants to best the safelite armor ad guy with a ball peen hammer?
I haven't seen that ad. UA-cam Red here.
Pat RMG consider your purchase worthwhile
@@ImOldGregg I probably should watch ads from time to time. I have a channel of my own and really need to see what they play for you guys.
Pat RMG no need, these days it’s safelite armor every single god damned time
@@ImOldGregg Some of the guys said that Biden ads were playing. I told them that I promise to spend those pennies on ammo.
I love you
I used to be a People Person... then go, you know, you know the thing 🙈
How many dudes love me now?
All of them.

Rubber grips on a Colt snake gun? How dare you, sir?
We'll keep the wood for presentation.😁
These are simply too slick to be an enjoyable shooter. Maybe with 38 specials, they won't walk out of my hand.
My King Cobra came from the factory with rubber grips. I think they were standard on the original issue King Cobras.
Colt missed it with the new king cobra , I’d save my money and buy an older one
