King Cobra

[WTFImissedagain]

I might have found a Colt King Cobra for sale. Does anyone know what they are worth? .38spl 6inch stainless steel.

 

[starpuss]

what shape is it in? i seen them sell for $800-6000

 

[Ballistic Experience]

My best guess is somewhere around $1100-$1200.

$1100-$1200 is in the Python territory... A used King Cobra with the brushed stainless finish in excellent condition is worth no more than $800 (in 95% + condition). Add $50 for the Bright Stainless and another $50 for the scarce Royal Blue finish.

That could be what i was thinking.

Thanks for the info guys I might be trading my STI Spartan for it, or just paying cash. Still looking for a Python though. They seem to be a little hard to find.

The Colt Cobra was a lighten (aluminum frame) version of the Detective Special and came in .22lr, .32 New Police and .38 Special calibers. 2 or 3 inches barrel only.

The King Cobra was only made in .357 mag in brushed or bright stainless or the scarce royal blue finish. Barrel lenght were 2", 2.5", 4", 6", and 8".

Price I wrote in my earlier post were for a restricted 6" version of the King Cobra. Prohibs would sell for 30% to 40% less...

As mentioned above, they are nowhere near the level of the Pythons. Around here they range anywhere from $500-$600 with prohibs being slightly less.

sorry i retract my earlier statement, I got mixed up with how many variants there are.

Mine cost me $700 about 2 years ago. It was in very good to excellent condition.

 

[dan belisle]

They are roughly an equivalent revolver with a S&W 686 and are worth about the same. Not as many were imported, and they are out of production, so that will effect the price as well. FWIW. -dan

 

[swampdog]

I would not expect to find a King Cobra in good condition for less than $700 to $800. They are quality guns with a nice look and feel. That said, I might prefer the S&W Model 27.

 

[SandRoad]

King Cobras were production guns, not hand fitted like the Pythons.

 

[hatman1793]

Looking too

I would like to own a nice Colt King Cobra too. Preferably the four inch prohibited class one. If you have one for sale, PM me.

There's one in the EE right now with the scarce royal blue finish... With a lefty holster. About three benj's over what I would pay though...
