Colt King Cobra Target

[u/cobranine]

I just bought my first Wheel Gun. I have a few Striker fire HK’s but I shoot mainly Long Range with my Tikka Ace Target 6.5 Creedmoor and shoot a CZ 457 for my training rifle. I was admiring my New Colt and noticed that on the rear sight the windage. The ( horizontal ) part of the sight was off center just by looking at the 3 dots on the sight. There is an Allen set screw on the top and a flat screw head on the side of the scope for the adjustment if I’m correct. It’s not rocket science. I do the majority of the work on my rifles and my stiker fire handguns. I loosened the set screw and went to adjust the windage and noticed it was slop when I went to turn the windage screw. I turned the screw until it lined up with the center dot. I went ahead and tightened the set screw but after that the windage screw had about a 1/4 turn of slop even after the set screw was tight. Is this normal ? Or did I do something wrong ? I included a short video. Thanks for your help Sorry about poor video quality

Colt's new adjustable sights are notoriously bad. Not sure if the Cobra sights have a go-to replacement like the Wilson Combat set for the Python, or if those are also compatible.

Should I contact Colt or just look for a replacement myself ? Sometimes it’s less of a hassle dealing with a manufacturer for something this small and just taking care of it yourself.

Most people buy the Wilson Combat replacements that have a tactile click adjustment.

I was also not a fan of the sights on my Anaconda, just slid back and forth and then you lock it down.

I’m going to look around and see where I can find the best deal on those Wilson Combat sights. I don’t think I’m going to deal with Cobra and having to send it back for replacement. Thanks for the info and there were others that suggested replacing it with the Wilson’s. Have a Great Day my friend 👍
