Owners of Colt's King Cobra line generally rate build quality highly, noting tight cylinder lockup and a smooth double-action trigger pull typical of Colt's modern revolver line. The .22 LR chambering makes it an easy-shooting range companion, and reports of malfunctions are rare since rimfire ammunition sensitivity is the main variable owners watch for.

The King Cobra Target's fiber optic front sight is easy to pick up quickly, and the fully adjustable rear lets shooters dial in point of impact for different ammunition loads. The Hogue rubber grip fills the hand well and helps tame muzzle rise, though a few owners with smaller hands find the grip a bit thick for a rimfire revolver.

As a rimfire trainer, the King Cobra Target sees regular use for practicing trigger control and sight picture at a lower cost per round than a centerfire Colt revolver. Aftermarket support is thinner than for Colt's more common centerfire King Cobra models, so owners looking to swap grips or sights have fewer off-the-shelf options.
