Click here for picture-------------> XXX First introduced in 1986, the Colt King Cobra is a medium-sized “V”-framed, double-action revolver featuring a six round cylinder chambered for the .357 Magnum round. The King Cobra design is based upon the earlier Colt Trooper MK V model, with an improved heavy-duty barrel and a thicker, solid rib on top of the barrel. The King Cobra's sighting system consisted of a fixed red front sight insert and an adjustable white rear sight. From its launch until production ceased in 1998, the King Cobra was offered in various barrel lengths, grip types and finishes. The gun was primarily marketed to law enforcement agencies and civilian firearm enthusiasts. James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum?

Shooting is ten times as much fun when it is shared with kids. If the grandkids have the strength to hold the revolver in the firing position, they can handle the recoil. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

But of your handguns, which one is the one (or two) that you just enjoy shooting more than any other? When I go shooting, you can guarantee that I'll have my S&W 617 going with me, and at least a 90% chance the .38 Super is going too. For me: Revolver: S&W 617 .22LR K-22 Semi-Auto: Colt 1991 Government in .38 Super This is the only photo I have with both in the same shot. Where's the S&W 1911? Does this mean it's not fun? My S&W is in that photo, it's the Commander with the CTC grips. And yes it's a fun gun to shoot, but it's not among my "most enjoyable" to shoot. It certainly is my daughter's favorite, and because it's her favorite I've been shopping around for a replacement for it as my primary carry gun because she has laid claim to my LW Commander for when she goes away to college (and I could never say no to my lil girl). For pure fun, no handgun even comes close to my 617, I'd rather shot it than pretty much any other. When it comes to centerfire my .38 Super has them all beat. Super accurate, fantastic trigger, flat shooting out past 150 yards, but still retains the classic 1911 lines.
