I recently acquired a Colt King Cobra with a 3-inch barrel, and I’m now on the hunt for the perfect holster to suit my needs. Since this revolver is quite popular among firearm enthusiasts, I wanted to tap into the collective wisdom of this community for some recommendations and advice.
Specific Needs
Concealed Carry: I’d like to know about holsters that provide good concealment while still keeping the gun accessible. Any suggestions?
Comfort: I plan on carrying this revolver for extended periods, so comfort is a must. What styles worked out for you?
Durability: I’m looking for something that can withstand regular use without wearing out too quickly. Any brands you’ve had good experiences with?
Types of Holsters I’m Considering
Inside the Waistband (IWB): I’m particularly interested in IWB options for better concealment, but I’m curious about how well these types work with a revolver like the King Cobra.
Outside the Waistband (OWB): I know OWB can be more comfortable, but I’m concerned about printing. What are your thoughts?
Shoulder Holsters: I’ve seen some shoulder holsters that look interesting too. Are they practical for everyday use with the King Cobra?
Additional Questions
Holster Fit: Are there specific models that are known to fit the Colt King Cobra well? I want to avoid anything that might be too loose or too tight.
Personal Experiences: If you’ve used any particular holster for this revolver, I’d love to hear your experiences—what you liked or didn’t like about it.
Where to Buy
If you can also point me towards good online retailers or local shops that carry holsters for the Colt King Cobra, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to your recommendations!
I’m also looking for the best holster for my King Cobra! I’ve always leaned towards leather for its classic look and comfort. Anyone else have thoughts on that?
I’ve had both leather and Kydex. The Kydex was nice for retention, but leather just feels warmer and more comfortable after a long day. Anyone tried nylon?
