Colt King Cobra Target

[@jakeb8856]

I hope S&W are taking notes. Colt is making some beautiful, high quality, high craftsmanship revolvers and people are clamoring to buy them. No weird locks. No sleeved barrels.

[@darksideofthemoon1886]

buffalo hitting targets from 60 yards with ease that's impressive

[@gradybird3336]

Man, Buffalo, your shooting skill is amazing! I've been a handgun shooter for decades and thought I was pretty good...until I found your videos! My shooting buddy and I talk a lot about deadeye Buffalo! Nice job, brother, and thank you for all the work you put in for us!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks for the kind words! That makes me feel pretty good! Hey I have my days where I don’t feel like I can hit the broad side of a barn.:.. y’all keep putting em down range!

[@holdmyswede]

His modesty just makes me more jealous. Were he a jerk at least I could have the satisfaction of dissing him on lack of personality😂. The first video I watched, he was dusting clays like a grandpa sitting on the porch swatting flies. Never seen another shooter make excellence look so easy.

[@richavic4520]

It's always a good day when a new Buffalo's Outdoors video drops.

[@BillB23]

The only Colt wheel gun I've ever fired was an old SAA. I liked it, especially because the only ammo we had was black powder and lead. It's hard to beat a nice DA revolver though. Thanks for another fine one, Buff.

[@blainclatworthy5423]

2 beautiful Guns. I shot the blued Model of Colt Python back in the 80's. I had a S and W Model 66. There was a huge different in the triggers of the 2 guns.

[@aspratt267]

Sir, you shoot that revolver so well! Thank you for regularly highlighting wheel guns for those of us who love them.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

You're welcome and thank you for the comment! I always appreciate folks who take the time to do so!

[@gizmocarr3093]

The King Corbra design was also chambered in 44 Remington Magnum hence it’s bigger. COLT 44 mag Anaconda, the King Corba 357 was similar to an N frame Simth & Wesson 357. The Mark III Colt Trooper was a frame idesigned to last from constant use of 357 magnum loads. This revolver porvided a stronger frame for the 357 magnum as well, without a full barrel lug.🐃🙂

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

I have a 1950s Trooper. Great gun.

[@whomagoose6897]

I'm thinking the Colt King Cobra is more in the S&W "L" frame class. I don't know about the Colt Cobra model. Maybe the Colt Cobra is more of a S&W "K" frame. Similar to a S&W-19. Always thought the Colt Python was in the S&W "L" class. The Colt Anaconda is definitely in the S&W "N" frame class. The Colt Anaconda is very similar to the S&W-29 and the S&W-629. All shooting the .44-magnum cartridge. The Colt Diamondback would be in the S&W "K" frame class. No Colt revolvers are in the S&W "J" frame class. Never saw a 5 shot Colt cylinder. There is a S&W "X" frame that no Colt currently fits. X frames are the S&W-500 and S&W-460. Those two are just too big for me. I compared a S&W-586 to a Colt Python and the two revolvers are very much the same size. Not exactly but very close. One noticable thing is both have a full underlug for the ejector rod. Watched a Wilson Combat video that everything is great about the Python. Except the adjustable rear sight. Wilson Combat invented a much improved rear sight. The rear sight problem may be something only related to the Python. All S&W adjustable rear sights are completely different when compared to Colt's adjustable rear sights. Wilson Combat said the adjustment screws keep backing off.

[@kengray5793]

I’ve looked at the new ones. Don’t like them, they look and feel cheap. My LGS had a blem Python that was marked down several hundred off. No visible blem. I just couldn’t do it. A nice 686 just looked and felt better.

[@bobjohnson1633]

The cobras really do feely janky. Action feels like it's made of plastic.

[@kevtanjohnson]

I have a 90’s version King Cobra. It’s a great revolver. Action is smooth as glass and very accurate. It’s a solid gun.

[@kevtanjohnson]

I love my old school 90’s King Cobra. It’s a great smooth revolver

[@wildbill6233]

A duo of fine specimens. I personally would go with the old guy. Just something about the feel of more steel in the hand. Great video Buffalo!! Thanks for doing what you do.

[@challanboggs4964]

I have said for years buffalo is the best shot on KZbin

[@Art-mo5bt]

Appreciate your respect for the sport. Your skill is a joy to watch. 👍

[@Bens359pete]

Got me a target model last year. Love it! Very accurate also.

[@disturbedmaynard3873]

A while back, I decided to look at the new Python, and in the process, I ran across the new King Cobra Target, only with the rubber grips. Decided the price difference for the King Cobra made it more appealing, so I picked it up. Great revolver, so far. You are right about the short stroke on the trigger. Have done that a couple of times myself. Glad to see you showing one off, and seeing the difference between the new and old.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

It is a great revolver I really enjoyed shooting it. Now I need one for myself. Thanks for the great comment I appreciate it.

[@ChristianGrest]

Never owned a Colt revolver, but have owned a number of Smiths over the years. Was actually looking at this particular model. Folks say the Colts are better/smoother out of the box than the Smiths. Really good review! Thanks for bringing out an older model to compare.

[@sonnyalaniz7248]

Awesome video sir 👍 you answered everything I could think of and some. Had no idea of the difference between the newer and older models thank you.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

@@sonnyalaniz7248 glad I could help. Thanks for the comment!

[@terryschiller2625]

Awesome video Buffalo. I learned a lot about the older Cobra and the newer Cobra. Really enjoy learning more and more about guns. LoL at 68 one would think I'd know more! Always said you learn something new every day trick is to use that knowledge wisely. Thanks again Sir.

[@pauldunecat]

I have the non-target 3" model. It's 28oz, and handles really well. There is also a DAO stubby, but the 3" fits me just fine IWB. Great product!

[@kevinyoung947]

Love both guns in a perfect world Id get the 3” king and a 6” anaconda

[@learningone7786]

Thanks for discussing the trigger reset. Wonder if Colt will work on that issue?

[@mikemccollum4521]

Great shooting, as usual. Thank you

[@3rddegmm451]

Great review! I love the way you say Colt sometimes, it gives me a chuckle. “Cote”. Love these revolvers are you are a great shot!

[@fredmeebley]

Beautiful revolvers, thanks for sharing.

[@jbinsc]

I have the .357 and the .22 KCT. Love the action and the fit and finish is excellent.

[@ironmikehallowween]

I love mine. Thanks for the video.

[@adamthomson2873]

Excellent review. Thanks.

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍Two really nice revolvers Buffalo, thanks for sharing them. Some really fine shooting too.

[@markjmaxwell9819]

One of my top three favorite revolvers without a doubt. I'm glad CZ is stepping up and coming out with some excellent new firearms. I love the classic stainless steel finish with wooden grips. Obviously the new model is not just an updated nineties version as we can see from the video. It's a new design and is physically a much smaller revolver than the Python. 😎🇦🇺👍

[@zachb.6606]

I love these new Colts. 🤩

[@aurelioa315]

Super cool love Colt revolvers❤❤

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@bobcatforever3485]

Buffalo. Good video. Very nice shooting and guns. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@regsparkes6507]

I do enjoy watching these videos , especially when you feature a revolver that I have not had the chance to shoot with. I must say I like the 'new one's style, especially the sizing of the trigger guard. I like shooting with gloves on, and I think I would be able to shoot with the new King Cobra, more comfortably. Keep 'em coming Buffalo, and Thanks!

[@bradyfilm]

I am glad you are on our side Buff !

[@bryangrote8781]

Always wanted one of the old KCs much more than a Python as I thought they looked as good but with a more durable action. Never could find an affordable deal on one though. I like the look of the old KC better, but that new model is still very nice looking and a handier size. Seems like the new KC is more the frame size of the old Colt Diamond Back which was basically a baby Python in .38Spc and a rare few were made in .22LR as well. Anyway, thanks for another great video.

[@redlicoricerifleexpert7489]

When it comes to revolvers, old is better looking for sure.

[@Lxthick]

I love my Target model ❤️ i like creeping back on the trigger also from a distance

[@Rich-eg6qb]

I have the same one and really like it. I will add a Python very soon. After that, I will of course need an Anaconda.

[@tigerman3]

Love my Colt Cobra and King Cobra revolvers. Great triggers.

[@rangerdave9255]

The new KC2 is the old Trooper Mark III on a V frame.

[@tcrides2137]

I'm with you, I bought one back in January. 😆 it's a sweet shooting wheel gun. I'm typically a Smith and Wesson guy but had to have one of the new Colts

[@buffalosoutdoors]

They are pretty sweet and yeah I'm typically a S&W guy too.

[@craigglover4344]

Any update on that 327 SP 101 with the flattened primers?

[@glockerbob]

Sure wish I still had mine. It was a 2 inch barrel and had a nice shoulder holster and 2 pouches for speed loaders .

[@robertbarlow6715]

I bought my granddaughter one for her 16th birthday I sure hope I made a good choice. She is good with the Colt Lawman but I wanted to get her one of her own that she can have when I am gone.

[@TheRealSwampOperator]

What a beautiful revolver, I really like how the trigger guard is shaped, it just makes it a little unique

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks! I like it too.

[@nthnmonkey]

Couldn't think of a better You Tuber to try these Revolvers out. You did not disappoint my Friend! 🙌

[@lizardking9983]

How you been si?

[@mandoblast503]

I like the curves better in the original but I'm very glad they brought them back.

[@jamestoth1256]

Very interesting. Your one heck of a good shot. Thanks for the video.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@hotdogs1026]

Did you do any polishing to your new model KCT? My example, which was brand new straight from the factory, had the most garbage pseudo-shiny finish that turned me off to the point I let it go. It was a laser beam, and I somewhat regret it.

[@southerncountryboy8]

I'd take the old one. Looks like it inspires much more confidence.

[@johndilday1846]

Great shooting, Buffalo! I am interested in picking up a new Colt’s revolver, but haven’t decided which one yet. Thanks for sharing.

[@precisionmarksman5761]

Now that you shot both of the new Colts, Python and King Cobra, which "Double Action" trigger pull do you prefer??

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Python.... but the New King Cobra isn't far behind.

[@ianrae4049]

I do like the styling on this more than the other cobras I’ve seen. Reminds me of a S&W a little.

[@davew7250]

I literately just got back from the range shooting my Colt 6” Python for the first time. Got a loooong ways to go before becoming proficient with it. And you’re right, the trigger is crisp in single action and smoooooth in double action.

[@martinkavanagh196]

You are GOOD with those Colts Buff. Cheers.

[@BruceKemper-n8d]

I’m impressed. Respect sir

[@murphymmc]

Target designated pistols typically had the wide hammers and triggers. Smith and Wesson did the same thing. In a target pistol I lean toward the older design. The new Colt Target seems like a cut down cheaper version at the premium price. As usual, that's some fine double action shooting my friend.

[@Resident-cb3yz]

Leaf spring crap that you cannot adjust and trigger reset seems like crap. Yeap cheap cut corners crap with premium price.

[@bobjohnson1633]

It's basically the same build as the new python and Cobra, just with cheaper parts.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks, I appreciate you watching!

[@plasticglock]

I have all Smith and Ruger revolvers currently. Watching this made me want a new Colt, and want the old Colt. As different as they are they are both sweet revolvers.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks, I don't even own a Colt revolver myself yet. That's gonna change soon though!

[@audiehollon4292]

Do you prefer the King Cobra or the S&W 686 better?

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Dang that's tough, both are great options but I'd probably grab my 686 when it counts.

[@joewest2560]

Love your reviews, as an old retired Leo I'm a revolver lover as well. In all honesty I didn't even know of this gun. I purchased the new Anaconda a few weeks ago and was on my way to buy a colt python. How would you compare that to this king cobra before I buy in terms of feel, recoil, etc. Thank you

[@browndogstt8546]

Nice shooting as usual. You are having too much fun!!!😂

[@comiketiger]

Another great video brother. I always enjoy your work. Thank you. Beautiful pistols. God bless all here.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

THank you! I appreciate the comment!

[@palerider7171]

Thanks for sharing. I had a 6” original King Cobra. It was a love hate relationship. Loved the King Cobra as it was, to me an affordable Python or at least as close to one as I could afford! The hate was I ordered a 4” barrel and got a 6” instead and yes I did CC it in a shoulder holster. If had been the 4” it would most likely still be with me. Thanks for doing the side by side old to new. There are 3 new Pythons at me FFL, 2 3” and one 6” but I am thinking about looking into the King Cobra for its size, weight and reduced overall dimensions . Keep the great content coming and God Bless!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

THanks for the great comment. I do like the handy size of the new model King Cobra and it's typically about 1/3 less money than a Python so it makes it a tempting option to say the least.

[@kentowens2179]

Good shooting! I like Colts, but don't have any new ones. Glad they're still making them.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks Kent!

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

Thanks for the great comparison I agree with the old model guys

[@wallacerickmanii]

Ever since I was a kid and they introduced the King Cobra I wanted one. Even more than the Python. I always thought it looked better (something about the end of the under-lug being swept back got me). And, from what I read, it was supposed to be more “durable” to hard usage and heavy loads. Well, Colt quit making them before I had the money or legal age to get one. Fast forward to about 2005/6 and a buddy told me about seeing one in a local shop. They said they picked it up as part of an estate sale. What they didn’t tell me, but I quickly realized, was that it had never been fired after leaving Colt. (Selling guns wasn’t their primary business and I don’t think they realized it). It came home with me. Not a mark on it, not a hint of black rings around the cylinder end. All the paperwork. All the tags still attached, plastic “I’m not loaded” insert that covered the chambers still in place. It was my unicorn. I couldn’t bring myself to fire it either. About 6 years later I got in a pretty good bind financially. I had to let it and a ton of classic S&Ws go. It hurt, but sometimes you gotta do. Well, I’ve had a son since then and now it still gets to me sometimes. So, nostalgia, wistfulness, and a little regret are maybe coloring my opinion, but I’ll definitely still take the old one. I like the underlug, the trigger shape, the hammer shape, and the size better. I feel it’s probably a better overall made revolver too - but don’t really have anything to back that up. That said, the new one still looks good, and, on its own, is probably a really nice revolver. I’m just not totally convinced it should carry the King Cobra name. Seems like it has a slightly different purpose. Leaning more toward ease of carry (especially concealed) than a beefy long term eater of heavy magnum rounds like the old one. It has my attention, but I don’t know if it can pull me away from being on the lookout for the next S&W like the old one did.

[@TARandFEATHERS]

I wish you had compared the weights. They are great looking hand tools. Your vids lets me enjoy nice things I'll never be able to afford. RockOn.StayFree.

[@redfaux74]

Dawg gumm it Buff..... I keep telling myself I don't NEED a 357 Magnum because I have everything around it and beyond. Now you got me wanting one. 😕 I like the Old anyday. Good video. Good shooting. Good banjo. ❤ The longer barrel looks like less recoil.

[@frankbutta9344]

Very Nice! I own a Colt King Cobra Carry, and these are much more like the 1998-1999 Colt Magnum Carry revolvers. 👍👍👍👍

Good shooting Buffalo. Would not have expected that much difference between the two. Thanks for the info and video.

[@mattgatron]

You shoot damn good sir! Excellent video

[@captainobvious1721]

I don't have much experience with Colts but it seems like the older king cobra was intended to be more of a target gun and the new one as a carry gun. I really don't like the narrow hammers and triggers that seem to be very common these days. I very much appreciate the target hammers and triggers found on the S&W 629 size guns.

[@lanedexter6303]

Nice! Wish I could pull my old 4” Diamondback .38 out of the safe and lay it next to that new King Cobra. Must be similar frame size. Colt plays name games. They currently sell a “Cobra” snubby that is all steel. In my book, that’s a Detective Special; Cobra and Agent have alloy frames.

[@frankhinkle5772]

[@nicomeier8098]

The new ones look like 38 special revolvers, cheaper then the old ones. The flashy exterior can't hide that.

[@bmooney3405]

I think the texture and width of the trigger on older revolvers feels better on the finger. The new one can rub my finger raw easier im not a fan of the texture but maybe cause im left handed

[@RobertWynieski]

The original KC was built on the second gen Python frame.

why make the trigger guard look like its dented

[@billdauterive1180]

It's amazing how much better the old King Cobra looks compared to the new. If Colt redesigned that ugly trigger guard and shipped all models with a set of Hogue's it'd help a lot.

[@m118lr]

Beautiful ‘newer’ model Colt. Only modern revolver we have around here currently is my wife’s Ruger ‘SP 101’ .357. Except for the pitiful front sight..love that thing. I DID have a S & W .44 Mag ‘629’ model (I THINK) a while back with a 3” bbl..a Grizzly gun for Montana when we lived up there. A BIG mistake selling it..BAD mistake and deep regret. Had the engraved Grizzlieson the cylinder. Hurts just thinking about it! Had it probably 7-8 years and sold it for what I paid for it when new: $850. Great vid on 2 nice revolvers Buffalo..

I enjoyed my King Cobra Target while I had it. I bought it at the end of 2019, prior to the new Python being announced. It was a place holder incase the Python never came back. I got rid of it after I got my 6" Python 2020. I'd miss the KCT if I didn't have the Python. The KCT fits into SP101 holsters, at least the one I had.
