American Rifleman's Mark Keefe stopped by the Colt booth at the 2019 Industry Day at the Range event for a closer look at a gun he has been waiting for. The Colt King Cobra is the .357 Magnum version of the company's Cobra, introduced several years ago, providing a more powerful chambering for this popular platform.
