Holsters for Colt King Cobra
How to choose the best holster for your Colt King Cobra 3 inch
Choosing the best holster for a 3 inch Colt King Cobra starts with understanding your carry needs and preferences. The 3-inch barrel length requires a holster that balances secure retention with easy access. High-quality leather provides both protection and long-term durability. A well-fitted Colt King Cobra 3 inch holster ensures comfort whether you carry daily or use it for range sessions.
Best Colt King Cobra IWB Holster
IWB Holster w Steel Clip – $89. This leather holster can be carried both IWB and appendix style, offering flexibility in how you choose to carry your Colt King Cobra. The steel clip design is perfect for those who dislike removing their belt when attaching or detaching the holster. It also features a reinforced thumb break strap, adding extra durability and increasing the holster’s natural retention, making it a highly secure option.
Best Colt King Cobra OWB Holster
Open Top Belt Holster – $89. The Open Top Belt Holster is an excellent choice for those seeking easy access and a quick draw. Its pancake design provides a slim, low-profile fit, ensuring that your Colt King Cobra remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best Colt King Cobra Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Colt King Cobra. This leather shoulder system allows you to carry your gun in a horizontal position, secured with a thumb break strap for added safety. The system includes a double ammo holder and tie-down straps that attach to your belt, offering excellent balance and security. As a bonus, the holster can also be used as a regular belt holster, giving you two carry options in one.
Carry Options for Colt King Cobra 3 inch holsters
Concealed Carry
When discretion is key, a Colt King Cobra carry holster should provide minimal printing and secure positioning. For a revolver of this size, concealed carry can be achieved effectively with the right holster type and ride height.
IWB Holsters
A Colt King Cobra IWB holster tucks inside the waistband, making it a preferred choice for everyday carry. These holsters keep the revolver close to the body, offering a balance of concealability and access. Look for models with adjustable cant and sweat guards to improve comfort and draw speed.
OWB Holsters
OWB holsters ride outside the waistband and are popular for range use or open carry. A Colt King Cobra 3 inch holster in OWB style offers faster draw access and a stable platform. Choose paddle or belt-loop attachments for different levels of retention and ease of use. While slightly less discreet than IWB, OWB holsters can still be concealed under a longer shirt or coat.
Shoulder Holsters
A Colt King Cobra shoulder holster provides a horizontal or vertical carry option beneath the arm. This setup suits users who spend extended time seated or driving. Proper shoulder holsters distribute weight evenly and allow quick access with minimal adjustment.
Material Options for Colt King Cobra 3 inch Holsters
Colt King Cobra Leather Holsters
Leather holsters offer excellent comfort and durability, molding to your body and firearm over time for a snug, glove-like fit.
Colt King Cobra Nylon Holsters
Nylon holsters are lightweight and cost-effective, made from durable, breathable materials like ballistic or Cordura nylon, making them ideal for concealed carry without adding bulk.

Very well made. Requires some break-in which is natural. The angle of the gun is just right. Some holsters are too horizontal.

I bought the cross draw holster for my Colt King Cobra. It arrived quickly. It is obviously well made. I was concerned that the retention strap would not close. After contacting them and watching the provided videos, I am confident that the holster will be excellent after the break-in process. Good customer service.
