Great video. You covered a lot of ground and got similar trigger pull weights as I did on mine. I didn’t expect those results with the SK. Thanks for trying it out. Those wood grips look good too.
Hey Devil Dog! I've been watching your videos this morning and I just wanted to say I really like your style. Your positive mental attitude and enthusiasm are very refreshing compared to what we see in a lot of videos. Keep up the great work, and Semper Fi!
Damn now I have to add yet another one to my collection. Unfortunately no one has this in stock so it’s been ordered and I’ll have it next week. I’m old school and must add wood grips as well.
Good video. Love the passion. I happened to have an allen wrench because my red dot used the same size. I had the same issue where it wouldn't eject, regardless of what brand I fired. They were stuck after 20 rds. Sent it to Colt and while it's better now, it's still not great. After about 50 rds I have to strike the ejector with my palm to get them out. Will see if polishing will help. Love HRV grips, have them on a Walther PPKs I own. But man are they EXPENSIVE. Went with a nice walnut/croc back set from Altamont. Nice but not on HRV level where you can't customize the way you did.
Now that was a exciting video! I really like the Cobra in 22 L.R. but have no located the .22 as yet , however I did have an opportunity for a .357. So I ve get that in the Python an Kimber K6 Target. Now the Python 3 inch is also a beautiful revolver but on the Wilson channel I get news about the rear sight not being well done asin coming out of adjustment and they recommended a Wilson rear sight replacement 💰oh yeah get out the wallet . So I bought the Wilson rear combat and a front Gold. Bead front sight. Then from Altamont Grips aSuper Rosewood Snakeskin pattern with Colt medallion and Rampant Colt inlays and it just looks fantastic. And I have to say you can't go wrong with Wilson parts and great customer service also. Sure do enjoy your channel and thanks for sharing your knowledge of firearms and the good life 🙏🇺🇸💪
Concerning the stuck cases, I deal with that by wrapping a piece of Scotch Brite pad on an old bore brush. It is easier with big-bore revolvers, but is still possible with a 22. I have a S&W 617 that I cleaned up that way and it ejects spent cases easily now. Try that and see if it fixes that issue.
Thank you, I will get it back out again for a little distance, please know at that distance it is more about the shooter. Maybe I can test it in the old ransom rest.
Good review! I’ve been looking for the new 6” version of this same revolver. Like you I question Colt’s decision to put the rubber grip on this otherwise fine firearm. Do you know if the wood grip from the King Cobra Target (.357 magnum) would fit this gun? Funny enough I took those same grips off mine and replaced with the rubber grip, felt the wood grip on that model is horrible for the recoil, makes the gun feel like it wants to flip backward out of my hand.
Great review. Yeh. I'm a guitar player (62+ years) not a shooter. But when I saw this with that "handle" as I call it, I went, "What for? Aren't those for big kick guns?" And how does this compare to the S&W .22 magnum?
Thank you I love your videos always! I just purchased this revolver in a 6 inch and it’s the only one I intend to shoot regularly in some one hand competition. So the rubber grip is not beautiful. However, I enjoy using it vs the wood grips.
According to what I've read, SK Pistol Match Special (PMS) is the same ammo as SK Long Range Match (LRM). The best accuracy is marked LRM. I think Biathlon is second best accuracy (I have no experience with Biathlon). Third best accuracy is PMS. These are faster velocity ammos than SK Standard Plus and Rifle Match. When I shoot long-range rifle matches (out to 200 yards or meters, depending on the range holding the match) I use PMS out to 100 yards and LRM at further distances. LRM has a better accuracy in my CZ 457 at the longer distances. That combo works great for me hitting small steel targets out at distance. Sorry, not revolver specific but I just wanted to clarify the PMS,
Hey big fella, I figure you’d know the answer to my question.. How does the trigger on this compare to the sw 617? Nice review. I like the detail you give in the reloading room
I've been trying to buy one but my local shops haven't had any in. I did buy a 617 and a Performance Center 627 the other day while I was out looking for the Cobra, a little something to keep me busy until I can find the snake.😂
While that's a nice looking revolver, Colt cheaped out on the hammer spur and - especially - the rear sight. The spur should be knurled and the rear sight deserves to be an Elliason like they used to put on the Match Target Woodsman. Otherwise it's very nice.
GOOD NEWS!!! Be glad that the SK Pistol Match stuck in the cylinder!! The accuracy of a 22LR is TOTALLY dependent on the tightness of the chamber!! I owned S&W 617, 17.(6” both) 64, and 34. I’ve shot Ruger Single 6 target and Colt Diamondback 22LR I got rid of all my 22LR revolvers why THEY WERE NOT ACCURATE!! The Colt you have did appear to be reasonably accurate. 22LR THE AUTOS ARE MORE ACCURATE!! All shots are using the same chamber! I now have Ruger MKII 5.5” & 6.5” HB SS Match and a S&W M-41. Your tight chamber gave you OK accuracy. The best 22LR hand guns under $1000 the Ruger MKIV. It’ll out shoot your Colt Cobra!!
Colt should use a better factory rear sight. They should include a front t bead and red ramp sight with the revolver. The grip should have a stock pin like older Colts, and last, the revolver should come with wood stocks. Until these things gs are done, I consider the revolver unacceptable
Thank you for the tip I think I will try it and see. It must be really soft because sk pistol match special is supposed to be lower velocity so I thought lower pressure.
@@Dayattherangemore case in the cylinder and I think most of the case expansion is at the base my opinion. Have both in S & W and the recessed cyl seems to stick more especially with HV shells. Though there may be a difference in chamber dimensions too . Still thinking of getting one of these though.
@@TedJ71 Yeah the old S&W especially the 17 had tighter chambers and the HV rounds of today didn't exist back then paired with the right ammo no sticky extraction. But I have had it happen to me and had to take a punch and whack the casings out.
This platform blurs the line on informing and showing anyone how to modify firearms. Another channel just received a strike for just simply putting a scope on for testing. Thank you
King Cobra 22 is an oxymoron and the waste of what could have been a fine firearm. I will be penning a stern letter, rebuking Colt against further needless waste of steel, sights etc. going forward. Further, I suspect it was a great video although I could not bring myself to watch any longer. 😅

Wow what an honor to have you stop by. I appreciate the inspiring words. Semper Fi!
When I saw this revolver in a magazine article not too long ago, I immediately began to pant and drool. What a beauty! Great video as usual!
Excellent vid! Just found your channel . You have a new subscriber.
Thank you appreciate it.

Yes Revolver Guy--great review of the Cobra 22, I want one.

Appreciate the enthusiasm
Really cool pistol, and some fine work on the grips!❤❤❤
Just thinking…a blued steel version would be awesome. A throw back to the Colt Diamondback of yester-year.
I could not find the Allen wrench size down below, could you please tell me what size it takes, thanks I appreciate it, love your videos.

Mr. Big Guy this was an excellent video! Please do some 25 yd. accuracy testing with this beauty for us.

Just found your channel as well. Best review on this colt so far. Thank you, sir.
I couldn’t see where the windage Allen wrench size is. What size is it? Thanks

You should do some reloading videos bc that room is awesome
Hey big fella, I figure you’d know the answer to my question.. How does the trigger on this compare to the sw 617?
Nice review. I like the detail you give in the reloading room
Nice review!
I've been trying to buy one but my local shops haven't had any in. I did buy a 617 and a Performance Center 627 the other day while I was out looking for the Cobra, a little something to keep me busy until I can find the snake.😂
Keep looking. Now the 6" models are rolling out.
Nice revolver.
Good review 👍😊!
So I have a question? My colt looks like a brushed stainless and some I have seen looks polished like the cylinder looks on mine?
I just sold my smith and Wesson 617 and puro y second king cobra, because I hatted the stiffness of the doble acción.
While that's a nice looking revolver, Colt cheaped out on the hammer spur and - especially - the rear sight. The spur should be knurled and the rear sight deserves to be an Elliason like they used to put on the Match Target Woodsman. Otherwise it's very nice.
Excellent review - I like your style and your review priorities are very much like mine.
I don't know why they would put rubber grips on a 22lr with zero to no recoil
Where can I buy wood grips for it?
GOOD NEWS!!!
Be glad that the SK Pistol Match stuck in the cylinder!!
The accuracy of a 22LR is TOTALLY dependent on the tightness of the chamber!!
I owned S&W 617, 17.(6” both) 64, and 34. I’ve shot Ruger Single 6 target and Colt Diamondback 22LR
I got rid of all my 22LR revolvers why THEY WERE NOT ACCURATE!! The Colt you have did appear to be reasonably accurate.
22LR THE AUTOS ARE MORE ACCURATE!! All shots are using the same chamber!
I now have Ruger MKII 5.5” & 6.5” HB SS Match and a S&W M-41.
Your tight chamber gave you OK accuracy.
The best 22LR hand guns under $1000 the Ruger MKIV. It’ll out shoot your Colt Cobra!!
Nice review. Wish colt would provide wood grips.
Why rubber grips on a 22? 😁😁
I have the 3" .357 great gun, great video
Colt should use a better factory rear sight. They should include a front t bead and red ramp sight with the revolver. The grip should have a stock pin like older Colts, and last, the revolver should come with wood stocks. Until these things gs are done, I consider the revolver unacceptable
Love it Eli!
Thanks Mike. What about a pistol 22 challenge?
I'm in for it, think it would fun as long as you keep it iron sights only!
@@Dayattherange
Sounds to me like the SK ammo has very soft brass cases that swelled excessively. If you shoot the stuff again save some of the brass and examine it.
Thank you for the tip I think I will try it and see. It must be really soft because sk pistol match special is supposed to be lower velocity so I thought lower pressure.
I can't find one of these anywhere
$1300 here on the west coast of Florida
Recessed Cylinders have casings tend to stick more in my opinion.
Now this is interesting. Any idea why you think that is?
@@Dayattherangemore case in the cylinder and I think most of the case expansion is at the base my opinion. Have both in S & W and the recessed cyl seems to stick more especially with HV shells.

The cold might have been part of the reason it would not eject
Not sure why you just couldn’t tell us the size or the allen wrench size.

Didn't watch - I was poking fun at Colt manufacturing a 22LR. 😂 I've enjoyed the content you've produced.
@@runningwithscissors3997 LOL Oh cmon 22 is fun ok if your dead set then go watch the 44mag lol ruclips.net/video/Su8-7uDj4HU/видео.html
