Colt King Cobra 22Lr 8 Shooters Model

The Colt King Cobra .22 LR 8-inch Shooter's Model is a full-size rimfire revolver built for serious practice, competition, and high-volume range sessions. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle and fitted with an 8-inch barrel, this stainless steel revolver combines the handling and ergonomics of a classic Colt platform with features engineered specifically for shooters who demand accuracy and reliability. Whether you're honing your marksmanship, competing in rimfire events, or simply logging rounds downrange, the King Cobra delivers the performance and durability you'd expect from the Colt name.

Built from forged stainless steel with a one-piece barrel construction, the King Cobra is engineered to absorb the rigors of regular shooting without compromise. The semi-polish finish gives it a professional look while standing up to the wear of frequent use. The 10-round cylinder means fewer reloads and more trigger time—a real advantage when you're focused on marksmanship or running competitive stages.

Sights matter on a competition revolver, and Colt equipped this one with a fully adjustable target rear sight and a red fiber optic front sight. That combination is purpose-built for rapid target acquisition and precise shot placement under a variety of lighting conditions. The trigger—switchable between double-action and single-action—carries reasonable weights (7–10 lbs double-action, 3–4 lbs single-action) that reward smooth technique and trigger control. Hogue OverMolded rubber grips provide a secure, comfortable purchase during extended shooting sessions.

Note: Shooter's Model revolvers are new in the box but may exhibit minor cosmetic imperfections from manufacturing that do not affect function or safety and fall outside Colt's standard one-year warranty coverage.
