Colt King Cobra

Got a call today from the FFL. He's received the revolver and we'll meet on Monday morning to examine the gun and make the transfer.

Sounds good. Hope it passes the test for you.

As long as the timing and lock up is good and cylinder gap less than .012 it should shoot well for it's intended purpose which is close range defense.
Now hitting the 80 yd. gong would be a plus! Nice looking revolver to !

CT hope she is everything it should be.
I have an original King Cobra, tis a fine shooter.

So, now I own a new Colt King Cobra.

The transfer process with my FFL took all of about five minutes. The State Police answered the phone on the first ring to provide the required authorization number.

I looked it over closely, noting the fit and finish, the cylinder gap, the timing and the lockup, and dry fired it a dozen times in both single and double action and it was all very satisfying. The trigger feels good; crisp and smooth in both actions.

When I got home, I loaded some dummy .357 rounds and fired it some more, then checked out the ejector, which is very smooth.

The grip fits my hand like it was custom made for me and the sight picture is easy to acquire; so overall, I’m very happy with it. I'm looking forward to my next trip to the range.

Congratulations! Very nice that everything checks out!
I love revolvers and I'm jealous.
