Colt King Cobra 357Mag 3 Matte Ss Hogue Grip

The Colt King Cobra 357 Magnum revolver in 3-inch barrel with matte stainless steel finish and Hogue grip is a no-nonsense wheelgun built for shooters who value reliability and real-world performance. This is a compact, powerful revolver designed for those who want manageable recoil in a defensive or sport-shooting package without sacrificing the stopping power of .357 Magnum ammunition. The King Cobra line has long been a favorite among handgun hunters, target shooters, and those who prefer the mechanical simplicity and dependability of a quality revolver.

The 3-inch barrel strikes a practical balance—short enough for carry and quick handling, yet long enough to deliver meaningful velocity from .357 Magnum loads. The matte stainless steel finish resists corrosion and glare while maintaining a professional appearance. The Hogue grip provides a secure, ergonomic hold that absorbs recoil and ensures consistent hand placement shot after shot, whether you're working at the range or in the field.

This is a Shooter's Model—a product category that may exhibit minor finish imperfections from the manufacturing process. These cosmetic marks are typically subtle and detectable only under close inspection or magnification. If you're after a fully flawless showpiece, be aware of this distinction; if you prioritize function and are unbothered by minor cosmetic variance, you're looking at genuine value. Either way, you're getting a genuine Colt revolver with the brand's one-year warranty on mechanical defects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot .38 Special in this .357 Magnum revolver?

Yes. The Colt King Cobra is chambered in .357 Magnum, which safely accommodates both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition. Many shooters use .38 Special for practice or reduced-recoil practice due to lower cost and gentler felt recoil.

What does "Shooter's Model" mean?

Shooter's Model revolvers are brand new in the box but may have minor cosmetic finish imperfections that occurred during manufacturing—tiny marks or discoloration visible mainly under close inspection or magnification. These do not affect mechanical function or reliability and are not covered by Colt's one-year mechanical warranty. If you're buying this revolver to shoot and use, not display, the Shooter's Model designation can represent genuine value.

Is the Hogue grip included?

Yes. This King Cobra comes equipped with the Hogue grip as specified in the product name.

What's the barrel length good for?

The 3-inch barrel makes this King Cobra compact and carry-friendly while still providing adequate sight radius and velocity for .357 Magnum loads. It's well-suited to field use, defensive applications, or range work where a full-size revolver may be less practical.
