I do not like it at all. Sorry folks.
I like my pistols in 357 magnum to have 6" or longer barrels and adjustable rear sights.
It's a 357 MAGNUM. They need to call this new 3" barrel something other than King Cobra.
maybe King Snake of Garter Snake. To puny to be called Cobra of any kind.

Looks as if they are trying to make money on a name.
Fail in my book.
Not even a legal length barrel length to hunt with.

Researched velocity and 125gr from 3" in 357 mag is about the same as 115 gr 3" 9mm load.
No King in that Cobra.

I do not carry so I may be biased towards hunting guns.
There's no need to be so inhibited; you just up and tell us how you really feel.

Wonder if these are cast and compressed powder parts too?
I doubt it. Colt did the sintering thing for their early Mk III revolver line, and it worked fairly well. In fact, the first gun I bought was a Trooper Mk III, and that gun for certain had sintered parts and it was a very good gun.

Around the mid to late '70's, Colt gave up sintering.

Didn't they revive that process for the new Cobra though? Seems I remember Bunch of reviews talking about mold seams.
