Four Pythons, Cobra, King Cobra, Anaconda, and not one problem. I even accidentally dropped the King Cobra in a padded zipper case and broke the hammer spur off. Totally my fault. Called Colt and they sent me a new hammer at no cost. Ended up bobbing the broken hammer and keeping the new one for a spare. Sorry you had so much trouble with your KC. Colt has been nothing but outstanding for me.

I believe you 100% which is why I was really flabbergasted at the way I was treated. I was even more flabbergasted that they said the gap between my barrel and frame was in spec!!! That thing looked awful! And right out of the box it had some seriously goofy problems. They were more than happy to help me as well but they told me it would take me 10 to 12 weeks to get my pistol back which is outrageous!!!! The guys I spoke to one of them was named Jethro he was very nice. Very polite and I understand he's just doing his job he has limitations. But for me personally I don't make enough money to drop $1,000 on a gun that may act like that. And I think that my story here is a testament to how poor their quality control is. A firearm like that should have never left the factory in a million years especially $1,000 revolver. I am happy to hear that you have colts and that you enjoy them and that they work well for you especially the king cobra. Just because I got f***** doesn't mean I want other people to get f***** 😂😂😂.

I bought the Colt King Cobra 3” about 2 years ago. Went to change out the front sight with the hi-viz. Gunsmith said the Allen screw was deformed. Contacted Colt CS and sent it in for inspection. I asked them to install the new sight for me. Had to follow up and stay on top of them. After 3-4 calls and 4 weeks later they shipped me a new gun without the sight installed. Never got an explanation and was exhausted from the process. I did shoot the gun with 250 rounds .38 and 250 rounds .357 mag with no problems and I really enjoy shooting the gun. I use it as a pocket carry in Winter. Best trigger I ever felt with a nice break. It’s my 1 and only Colt and I have since discovered other brands that I also enjoy for EDC. I don’t regret the purchase and I let my friends shoot it at the range and it gets a lot of compliments. Colt CS we’re going through learning curves since the company was bought out. At least they spoke English 😂. It’s a great gun and I would recommend it to add to your collection. I’ve had bad copies of other firearms and just trade for something else…God Bless America!

Definitely happy that yours works bro. But any company that would release a 1,000 gun the way I got mine is unacceptable imo. And the the way they handled the problem was unacceptable. I will never in a million years buy another new Colt. Guys were polite enough for sure but between it locking up right out of the box, the cylinder not lining up correctly with the frame, the 6lbs single action trigger, the barrel separating itself from the frame and the horrible response I got from Colt not to mention the 10-12 week turnaround, I'm done. A bad model would have had a messed up sight like yours or maybe a gritty trigger. Mine please 100% a lemon and never should have made it out of the factory. Quality control literally gets a 0 out of 10 for me. What gun company doesn't speak English? You pocket carry this MASSIVE behemoth?!?! Dang!!!

Got my gun back in 3 weeks and it was fixed no fuss no muss. Love my SP2022 but this Custom Shop P229 SAS is on another level. It's a little early to say but this actually might be the best handgun I've ever owned.

Continue the thought on this to see the problem Colt was really covering up. Right now, with that gap, the rear sight and the front sight match up perfectly rendering the barrel and frame “straight”. if that barrel were tightened properly, to where there were no gap, then depending on how it’s threaded, that front sight is going to to end up at anywhere from 9:00 to 12:00 or 12:00 to 3:00. so, the threading on either the barrel or the frame is incorrect. For Colt to call it in spec without measuring in person, is the real problem besides QC initially.

Man I’m sorry you had a bad experience. It sucks. I had a similar experience with my brand used 500 magnum I paid 1200$ for. But it was used. I didn’t even reach out to smith, just figured out what was going on with it and fixed it. Luckily parts are cheap. I was gonna say I don’t know how we could do it, but if I could get my hands on it I might could tune it up for you, but then you said you don’t have it anymore. Several of these manufacturers have gotten too big for their britches, colt was one of the first. Smith and wesson not far behind them. That ruger you got tho not as fancy is an absolute unit if it anything like the ones I’ve messed with. Built like tanks. To be honest I haven’t had any problems with taurus tho they are gritty and relatively crude,generally with some use the grit self machines the parts to each other, then tear it down to nothing, clean it oil it maybe a lil grease here and there and they ran like a completely different machine. I used to have a 692 I think it was, lil 3” snubby with ported barrel that would shoot 38/358 or swap the cylinder out and shoot 9mm with moon clips. I really loved that thing..... then a group of Jackass’s broke into my house and stole it along with every other gun I had might near,right at the beginning of the pandemic when everything was just starting to get good and crazy. Oh well just about recovered from it now. Figured out there a difference between a good offence and defense at the home,made changes accordingly, still didn’t stop them from trying 6 more times in a month while I was at work until I got a fence and gates put up. Still live around the assholes that did it im fairly certain,but the police Cant seem to do anything about it. Last 4 years been interesting in melrose south

Price tag definitely does not equal quality I can attest to this. But when you're buying a Colt Snake Gun that should mean something in my opinion. When you buy a cult that should mean that you're getting top level performance with next level refinement fit and finish. The finish is beautiful the fit is trash! The reliability on this firearm is literally all around terrible. And when I was shooting it, it was just kind of...meh 😕. That's why I even fully said in the video that my 8:56 kicked the Colt King cobras dick right in the dirt 😂. A $350 six shot Brazilian made 38 special plus p blows the american-made legend right out of the water on this one. They need to go back to the blueprints and completely tear this thing down and start from scratch it is a bad design. That is the only thing that can account for so many horrendous failures out of the box. If you do buy a Colt, I would recommend dropping the three or four grand on the collectible snake guns 👍 otherwise like you said just get a Taurus Rracker and if you really want to ball out get a Ruger SP101/Redhawk or Smith & Wesson 686/586. All of them less expensive and all of them leaks and bounds better than the king cobra in my experience.

@deanmiller6177 my range test actually went without incident. I put 40 .357mags through it, then 100 .38spls. Flawless performance. My only issue turned out to be the rubber grip. Apparently, there was an air space between the back strap and the grip. It felt like a hammer slamming my palm with hotter .357s. I've since replaced the factory grip with a wooden grip. No more air space. :)

Currently having a mess with my Cobra in .22lr. Life long Colt fan with 6 or so Colt guns, but I’m tapped out at this point. Customer service is even more of a mess. Also, they absolutely refuse to sell or send parts. Everything must be warranty. What a mess

Sounds like you had a garbage experience like I did. I was literally blown away at the poor customer service that I received

To me Colt is overrated, they just living of former glory and there customer service is terrible from other references I got . Some of them came good no problems but others don't. Never care for Colt and the S&W and Rugers that I have are nicer and more reliable for less money invested. I pick a S&W 686 or Ruger GP100 even Sp101 all day long before grabbing a Colt . Just my opinion but Colt lovers go with your instincts and be happy!

Thankfully I did not have that same experience with my new King Cobra. S&W has been letting me down. Colt King Cobra #jesusisking #gun #revolver #colt kzbin.infoMSh3gak-R6c?feature=share
