Gentlemen this is spot on. Now be so kind and do 2" Cobra .22LR 10 rounder (maybe DAO) in as light frame/package as possible and you have everymans carry gun/BUG
Nice looking gun but no one seems to have it in stock. What good is it to majesty a nice gun and make it in limited quantities. No choice but to go to other manufacturers. Come on Colt. Get with the program.
Eight months after this video these are still not in gun shops. Seems like we are back in the 80s where gun manufacturers would hype a new product for several months or even a year before it was available. By the time it arrived the interest in it had subsided. Same old Colt(:-(
To those asking, I found out that it is NOT named diamondback due to Trademark issues since there is a company called Diamondback Firearms. Still.. it has the ribbed barrel, be happy for that!!
They still could have named it something other than the King Cobra. At this point, there’s nothing that really defines the King Cobra like the Python or the Anaconda. Colt did everything right with this, I just feel they should have put a different name to it.
@@jakewebster5084 I agree, however on the bright side hopefully they can keep it at king cobra pricing under 1k like all the other king cobra variants.
The original Diamondback was made in .38 Special in much greater numbers than it ever was in .22. I'm not sure where people think a Colt .22 has to be called a Diamondback.
@@goamules because it was the only snake gun made in .22 that’s why many people reference it. They obviously wanted it to be the diamondback or they wouldn’t have put the ribbed rail on it. When did a king cobra ever have a ribbed vent rail ?
Nice.Next on my lists. I am glad I still have my old school 357 Magnum Python, King Cobra, and my 22 LR Diamondback when they were affordable and available in the 1980's.
Should offer this barrel on the King Cobra target 357. Hope there’s a wood stocked version of the 22. Nice revolver. Have a 4 inch nickel 38 Diamondback. This will make a nice companion
Old D frame stocks work on the new generation Cobra guns. Cavaet though, with the wonderful Hogue grips, the stock pin required for all the others is not used because the Hogues are secured by a screw in the butt. So if you replace these you need to get or have made a stock pin for anything else. Been there and did that with a Magnum Carry.
Good to see CZ-Colt is evolving the revolver line into more calibers and higher capacities than just a traditional 6-round cylinder. How about a true brand new snake (Colt Rattlesnake, Colt Black Mamba) in 9mm, 10mm, or 454 Casull in a caliber that has never been done before? A new 9mm concealed carry revolver with a 2 to 3" barrel would be awesome.
You hit the nail on the head ,lots of diversity in this beautiful smoke wagon frame. Thanks for keeping your perspective honest. I know what your saying here would definitely turn my head, I hope this one comes in a 4 inch barrel
@@Desperado3248 a 454 Casull Anaconda would be able to fire 45 LC. As big and heavy as the Anaconda is, it would be a waste to be 45 LC alone. They should make a new, lighter, double action 45 LC/.410 revolver though.
Man, I got a jones for them new Colts, worse than a crackhead looking for a hit in the 'hood. Wish there was some way I could write off all the dough I've invested in them, since they've been reintroduced. The good news is, now I don't have to take out a home equity loan to own one. 😄 Thank you Colt! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I think this is pretty much the equivalent of the Diamondback; it’s a similarly small framed gun, and now it has a Python barrel on it. That said I would prefer if they dump that trigger and trigger guard for something more traditional. I know they say it gives a better trigger pull, but I can’t get past how it looks.
Not saying this was a “bad” decision, necessarily; in my opinion they did everything right! But, I feel like this should have been the Diamondback rather than the King Cobra. The 10-round cylinder was gold, though!
I thought is was called the baby cobra ? That’s what it was called the last time I saw it on utube . But I haven’t been able to find one or order one yet .
Hey Colt, its been a year since you announced this product and I'm wondering why I can't locate a King Cobra target with a 6" barrel, what gives with this situation?
Great name wrong gun. The King Cobra is a .357. This 22L should have had a different name like Diamondback, Viper, Sidewinder, etc. Keep the Colt traditions alive and make the King Cobra only a .357 and the Diamondback only a 22L. (I was hoping for more from CZ-Colt.)
Colt has a long history of offering centerfire revolvers in 22lr-the Officers Model, Officers Model Match, Official Police, Trooper and of course Diamondback, which was also chambered in 38spl. There are even a few Pythons from 1981 in 22.
@@Formerlysn Do not confuse someone who WANTS to be ornery with facts and logic. They are all set to blame Colt for anything and this is the first they can do with CZ ownership. "Diamondback only a 22L" "I was expecting more" he stated. You rightly set him straight. Lets see if he comments that you are right, he is wrong. My hunch is we will hear....crickets.
At the top of my list! Only Colt I'd buy ahead of it would be a 45LC SAA if one appeared. Heck I might buy both... it wouldn't be the first time I bought two new handguns because I couldn't decide which one. Bought my Python in '78... also have Series 70 Government and King Cobra 357 3". A year before the Anaconda came out I bought a 629 from those other guys. I will say Colt has some competition there. Not impossible I'd buy an Anaconda... just because I seem to buy any gun the local store talks me into actually holding in my hand. Looked real hard at a 617... glad I waited as I'd rather have the KC in .22. High Five for the rubber grips... wood looks nice but rubber shoots better. For those that concerned about the price... my Python was $400 in '78. Shot the heck out of it and can get $400 for it any day... if not three times that much.
Sorry Ruger Single 10 is a better buy and its been around for a while. I might have bought the Colt had it been available at the same time as the Ruger. The Ruger is just as classy as the Colt.
@@bullard73 I took the Altamont grips off of my King Cobra Target and replaced them with a Hogue grip. The Altamont are beautiful but are very smooth and don’t grip well; I had seen that commented on in a number of reviews about the King Cobra Target and I totally agree.
I settled for a King Cobra over a Python about a year ago. I compromised and saved $600 that would be going towards virtually nothing except for the look of the gun. Glad I did, I can apply that $600 to one of these, get that Python look and a fill the .22 DA void in my collection. Colt rules.
Looks like CZ knows that there is money in the Colt name and will be producing new and retro firearms as time goes on. Who knows maybe we will see a new Woodsman Series in of course .22 LR...
I ordered the kc target 22lr a yr ago from my lgs and have yet to see any come through there, kinda bs to advertise them so heavy and only see them on certain gunbroker listings at outlandish prices
This looks like a beautiful gun, love the 10 round capacity. Hopefully you worked out all the kinks before you release it unlike the python fiasco. Hopefully we will see these come out a little more frequently and faster than some of the previous snake gun releases. I would like to get one of these.
@@forwhomthebelltolls392 thank you, you are correct I use voice text on my phone as it is easier for me. My fingers are just too big for those doggone keys they always make errors. And you’re also correct on your statement About today’s Illiteracy
I've been meaning to buy a S&W 617 or Ruger GP100 in .22LR but never seem to get around to it... probably because neither really get me all that excited.

Any chance of a pre-sale? I'll take Serial Number 69, 5514 or 80085.
Please, update the 357 version to make it look just like the 22 LR version, 4 inch and 6 inch. Or, please make 9mm versions look just like that, 4 inch and 6 inch.

Just going to rant cuz i saved for a long time for a colt python an for the price they ask for it shouldn't have problems. I was willing to not throw a fit over the light primer strikes but then I go an buy colt ammo an then get 2 squib rounds stuck in my damn barrel. Only to cost me more money. I will recommend a taurus revolver to anyone who asks
They should now offer a 22lr Cobra as a 22 understudy , kit gun and ccw 22 fir those who like the 22. Also has 10 shot cylinder in contrast to the 8 rounds of the competition
The COLT website has been a train wreck for years and I cannot believe no one at the company has taken the minimal effort to clean it up. Specifically I refer to the Details section and the Specs section for the pistols and revolvers. With some models you will list : weight , type of sights , finish , finish type , approx 19 specs will be listed While with other models you may list only 3 specs - barrel length , capacity and action. I would think that having the same spec headings for every pistol or revolver would greatly assist potential customers , as well as give a more professional look.
Somebody told me "colt" doesn't male the new snake guns, they are made "under license of Colt", who makes the New Colts? (I Have many old snake guns, and a few new ones, the NEW ones are NOT as finly crafted as the old ones, honestly, they are on par with a 686).
Colt now has opportunity to return to the throne. The revolver is about to experience a Renaissance, due to restrictions on semiautos , magazine capacity, the revolver will become more viable for flirt and defense. In NY a microstamping law will now exclude new Semiauto handguns from sales in that state. Not so. With revolvers. Sucks but legal challenges won’t roll it back overnight.Also difficult to demonize a revolver as a high capacity weapon of war. Colt should start launching more 22 revolvers , bring back the 22 Peacemaker,2 inch 22 Cobra. Alloy frame 2 inch plus p rated 38.
Yeah, nothing about this makes sense. It’s a great market for .22, but the Diamondback was the traditional gun for this make. Even called Colt about this a few months ago and never got any explanation on why we would never see the Diamondback again. Then this…?
Sure it does. 1. Colt does not own the trademark Diamondback, another company does. 2. The new KC is a small frame (D size) 357 and some weight was needed to help tame it (remember it first came out in a 3" version). 3. In a 22 the gun needed the weight pared down. A vent rib did it and looks fantastic. All excellently thought out in my opinion. My beef with them is PUT ANOTHER SHIFT ON. I am tired of waiting 2 or 3 years for this stuff to trickle out.
Sorry Colt, you did not have the King Cobra-22 available at the same time as Ruger had the Single 10. Heaven knows how many guys bought the Ruger who might have bought the Colt. The Ruger Single 10 is a fine piece of equipment.
I would like to own one but knowing Colt it may be years before one can actually buy one. I would hope the price would be the same as a S&W model 617. How many new Pythons are out there for retail price?
My 2019 King Cobra started falling apart after 3 uses, now I broken gun in a bag with pieces because of there “craftsmanship” won’t ever buy a Colt again. Extremely disappointed. It’s my first ever gun and it’s broken (3 times I’ve used it.)

Should have been called the diamond back and released along side a .38spl variant :(
Another company took out a trademark on the name Diamondback.
Did this channel die out?
Yippie!
22 WMR is only slightly more expensive round. Yet, I would argue worthy of everyday carry. Give us the magnum version
Hey, could you make it clear and easy on your website which 1911's are series 80 and which are series 70? I would prefer the plunger.
Sorry Colt, you did not have the King Cobra-22 available at the same time as Ruger had the Single 10. Heaven knows how many guys bought the Ruger who might have bought the Colt. The Ruger Single 10 is a fine piece of equipment.
Please make it onto that stooooopid roster of California.
I would like to own one but knowing Colt it may be years before one can actually buy one. I would hope the price would be the same as a S&W model 617. How many new Pythons are out there for retail price?
All over the place here in Ohio at retail. Took a couple of years but at retail now.
My 2019 King Cobra started falling apart after 3 uses, now I broken gun in a bag with pieces because of there “craftsmanship” won’t ever buy a Colt again. Extremely disappointed. It’s my first ever gun and it’s broken (3 times I’ve used it.)
