The Colt Viper combines classic revolver styling with modern materials and the versatility of .357 Magnum performance. Built with stainless-steel construction and a polished finish, this compact six-shot revolver is equally capable of firing full-power .357 Magnum or lower-recoil .38 Special ammunition.
Its 3-inch half-lug barrel provides a practical balance between portability, velocity and controllability. The exposed hammer supports both double-action and precise single-action shooting, while a transfer-bar safety system allows the revolver to be carried with all six chambers loaded when handled according to Colt’s instructions.
A black-ramp front sight and fixed U-notch rear sight provide a straightforward sight picture without adjustable components to snag or shift. Checkered American walnut grips add traditional character while providing a secure hold.
With its compact dimensions, polished stainless construction and versatile chambering, the Colt Viper is a capable choice for concealed carry, field use, recreational shooting or any Colt revolver collection.
