Colt King Cobra .22 LR Revolver, 2-Inch, 10-Round

Description

The King Cobra in .22 LR is a small-frame revolver built for deliberate, accurate shooting — whether that means introducing a new shooter to centerfire-weight handling, running rimfire drills on a range budget, or simply enjoying a well-made double-action wheelgun for its own sake. The platform shares its DNA with Colt’s centerfire King Cobra lineage, which means you get a revolver sized and balanced for serious use rather than a dedicated plinker scaled down to the cartridge.

Construction starts with US-forged carbon steel throughout — frame, cylinder, and the one-piece barrel are all carbon steel, then finished in blued. A one-piece barrel contributes to consistent bullet alignment in a way that a sleeved or pinned design cannot, and the vent rib on top serves as both a sight plane and a small weight reduction at the muzzle. The 2-inch barrel makes the revolver genuinely compact and easy to carry, though the trade-off is a shorter sight radius, which is exactly why Colt fitted adjustable rear sights alongside a fiber optic front rather than fixed irons — the fiber gathers light quickly and the rear can be dialed to your preferred point of impact at your chosen distance. That combination is more useful on a short barrel than it would be on a longer one, where fixed sights are generally adequate.

A 10-round cylinder is notably generous for a .22 revolver, giving you more rounds before a reload than the traditional 6- or 8-shot configurations common in this class. The Hogue Overmolded grip keeps recoil management comfortable during longer range sessions, and the exposed hammer allows single-action fire for precision shots when trigger pull weight matters.
