Cinco De Mayo History
Cinco de Mayo, observed on May 5th, commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla. Led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, outnumbered Mexican troops defeated a superior European army, providing a major morale boost. The History of War notes: “On this day in 1862, a small force of locals – many of whom were ill-equipped and not trained soldiers – fought back against thousands of French troops at Puebla, a small town in central Mexico. The battle lasted all day and resulted in a victory for the Mexicans after the French army retreated.”

While not a federal holiday in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a widespread celebration of Mexican culture, heritage, and identity. Often mistaken for Mexican Independence Day (September 16), Cinco de Mayo (as a day of celebration) gained prominence in the U.S. during the 1960s and 70s.

The King Cobra Target 22 LR is a great wheelgun from Colt Mfg. Co. (“Colt”). It is accurate, has a great trigger, and holds its value well. Colt states: “From competition to plinking and small game hunting, this baby Cobra does it all and packs 10-rounds of .22 LR in its cylinder”. The King Cobra Target 22 LR is available with five barrel options: 2″, 3″, 4.25″, 6″, and 8″ barrel lengths, all with 1:16″ RH rifling twist. The MSRP for all models is currently $1119.00, but you should be able to find one under $900.00. For example the 4.25″ and 6″ King Cobra Target are each under $885.00 at Guns.com. In addition, Colt is currently offering a $100 Rebate on Colt Revolvers, including the King Cobra Target 22 LR models.

The King Cobra Target 22 LR features USA-forged stainless steel construction. Designed and crafted for outstanding accuracy, new King Cobra Target 22 LR features a one-piece barrel/shroud with fiber optic front sight. The cylinder holds ten (10) rounds. The frame is fitted with an adjustable target rear sight and Hogue overmolded rubber grips.

This TFB Showtime episode examines the new .22 LR rimfire Colt King Cobra Target. The King Cobra Target 22 LR features a 10-shot cylinder, and the same adjustable target sights as the .357 Magnum version.

Last May, Justin Baldini, Colt’s VP of Product Strategy stated: “Shooting .22 LR is such an important part of shooting sports. It’s where we come to learn as a beginner; and where we return as seasoned shooters to cost-effectively enjoy more time at the range. We’re confident that new and old Colt fans will love what we’ve done with the new King Cobra 22 LR.”

All-American built, the King Cobra Target 22 LR should deliver exceptional accuracy and good reliability. Watch the video to see this rimfire revolver in action.

Commentary: We applaud Colt for introducing this new .22 LR wheelgun. Rimfire revolvers are great. This Editor owns a Smith & Wesson Model 617 ten-shot rimfire revolver that has easily fired more rounds than all his other handguns combined. A .22 LR revolver is great for training and fun for plinking. Like the Model 617, this Colt .22 LR wheelgun offers minimal recoil, great reliability, a nice sight radius, and affordable shooting. In addition, if you shoot single-action slow-fire, the trigger pull is light and crisp — better than the vast majority of semi-auto pistols. We think this new “Baby Snake” will be a great addition to any shooter’s collection.

Why Should You Shop for Ammo Online?
By shopping online for ammo, you can save money, get a wider selection, and get bulk discounts. GunDeals.com explains: “Online purchases [can] save you a lot of money [and can] also save your time… one of the most important advantages is definitively the huge selection.” With online retailers you can quickly compare prices, and you will often get a discount on a large order (300 rounds or more) that is not available in local stores. Note, with some large vendors such as Cabela’s and Sportsman’s Warehouse you can order online then pick up in a local store.

Are There Restrictions on Online Ammo Purchasing?
In most (but not all) U.S. states is it legal to order ammunition online to be shipped to your residence. However, you MUST check your State and local laws and regulations. In some states and/or cities, it is ILLEGAL to purchase ammunition online for shipment across state lines with direct delivery. For example, in California, all ammo must be purchased from a licensed ammo dealer/vendor with a state background check (so much for the Second Amendment)*. Likewise Washington DC, and Hawaii do not allow online ammunition purchases. And there are restrictions in New York City. In Alaska there are multiple shipping regulations that impact ammo deliveries from online sales so many vendors do not ship to Alaska.
