Looking at another wheel gun

[Tinman]

I have the Colt Python 4.25” and the Anaconda 6”. I am now looking at the Colt King Cobra. The question is, should I complete the collection of snakes?

 

[S&W Fan]

Absolutely! Especially if they remade The 8” King Cobra , which I believe was a rare bird back in the late 80’s

If you have the money kicking around to buy up the snake series and like them, there's no reason not to. Make sure to post pics of your den of vipers!

You only live once and you can’t take it with you.

something I have always said about my gun collection: resale value is my heir’s problem.

Do it. 90’s King Cobra was my dream gun in high school. Gonna get a new Target version that I’ll actually shoot.

I going to look at it at the Gun show this Saturday. Sugarbush Armory has the best price around. They said that they will have a couple at the show.

The King Cobra is Colt's competitor to Smith & Wesson's K frame right?
@Tinman do you want a carry gun in 357? The King Cobra would be a fine choice. If however you just want a shooter for range fun I don't think the King Cobra has anything to offer over the Python.
As a carry gun it is my understanding the King Cobra is somewhat more robust than the K frame and more tolerant of a .357 Mag heavy diet.
I have also heard the King Cobra is somewhat brisk in its recoil feel.

I think it is more of having the snake trifecta. Might carry it too.

Check out the new Henry revolvers. They look really slick.

Here is the picture of the snakes.

Beautiful. I have the same exact King Cobra. So smooth and fun to shoot. I dont have the other snakes due to being a S&W guy...but that may have to change....

In case you are still looking.

Man, of all the beautiful details, I think the fish inlaid on the hammer has to really be the cherry on top.

anyone know how much this went for???

Colt needs to do a new version of the Detective Special so @Tinman can complete his admirable Colt Collection.

Does this come with an IWB holster?

Does this come with an IWB holster?

If I am paying that much I am purchasing a clear holster to OWB carry.

$105,750
It was estimated to go for $75,000.
