Frequently Asked Questions
Colt .22 Revolver for sale
Did Colt make a 22 revolver?
Yes, Colt makes the King Cobra Target in .22 LR, a ten-shot double-action revolver with a stainless steel frame, adjustable target sights, and a 6-inch vented barrel. It is currently in production and retails around $887.
Can you conceal carry a .22 revolver?
Yes, you can conceal carry a .22 revolver. Small models like NAA Mini-Revolvers work well for deep-cover or backup carry. Larger .22 revolvers are harder to conceal. Many consider .22 underpowered for self-defense, but shot placement and reliability matter more than caliber alone.
How often should I clean a .22 pistol?
Clean your .22 pistol after each shooting session, or every 300–500 rounds at minimum. If you shoot infrequently, clean it monthly regardless. The chamber, action, and bore all need regular attention — rimfire fouling builds fast and is more corrosive than most, so clean the bore proactively rather than waiting for accuracy problems.
What are common Colt revolver problems?
Colt revolvers commonly experience timing issues, cylinder misalignment, and light primer strikes. Some develop excessive barrel-cylinder gap, endshake, or action wear affecting lock-up. Recent production models have shown cosmetic defects and inconsistent finishing. Inspect new purchases carefully and contact Colt's factory service for mechanical concerns.
Is the Colt revolver still in production?
Yes, Colt still produces revolvers. Current models include the King Cobra and Python, available in various calibers and barrel lengths through multiple retailers.
Can a 22 stop an attacker?
A .22 can stop an attacker, but it's less reliable than larger calibers due to lower energy and penetration. Shot placement matters most. Its light recoil allows faster, more accurate follow-up shots. Effectiveness depends on shooter skill, bullet selection, and whether vital areas are hit.
Do Colt revolvers hold their value?
Colt revolvers generally hold value well, especially older and collectible models. Newer production guns depreciate more. Condition, rarity, and model significantly affect resale price. Current production revolvers like the King Cobra typically sell below MSRP, reflecting normal market depreciation.
What is the best 22 revolver on the market?
"Best" depends on your needs. The Ruger GP100 .22 LR, S&W 617, and Colt King Cobra Target are top-rated options. The S&W 617 is favored for target shooting, the Ruger GP100 for durability. Compare barrel length, trigger quality, and ergonomics against your intended use before deciding.
