About the Colt King Cobra Carry

The Colt King Cobra Carry is a compact double-action/single-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, introduced in 2019 as the concealed-carry member of Colt's revived King Cobra family. Built on a stainless-steel snub-nose frame with a 2-inch barrel and a six-round cylinder, it pairs a brass-bead front sight with Hogue overmolded grips and a transfer-bar safety. The linear leaf mainspring gives a smooth double-action pull, and the short barrel and rounded profile make it a purpose-built carry gun capable of firing full-power .357 Magnum loads as well as lighter .38 Special ammunition.

Colt reintroduced the Cobra and King Cobra names in the late 2010s to re-enter the mid-frame revolver market it had left decades earlier. The King Cobra Carry, unveiled in 2019, aimed the six-shot .357 Magnum squarely at the concealed-carry buyer who wanted more capacity and power than a five-shot snub could offer.
