We’ve got some exciting news from the Colt booth at the 2024 NRAAM in Dallas, TX. They’ve just rolled out their latest addition to the revolver family: the Colt Viper!
A Fresh Take on a Classic Design
The Colt Viper comes in two barrel lengths, 3-inch and 4.25-inch, both boasting a new half-lug design.
This sleek update reduces weight and enhances concealability without sacrificing performance.
Made from stainless steel, this full-size frame revolver steps up from the old lightweight .38 Special frame, now chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum.
Smooth Operator
With an improved action, the Colt Viper offers a smoother shooting experience.
True said the single-action trigger feels “fantastic,” and the revolver features U-Notch rear sights and classic American Walnut grips for that retro flair.
Availability and Pricing

The Colt Viper will be available starting late June with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $999.

Not a big Colt revolver fan never have been, have always been a Smith and Wesson man, that said you can take the .357 Magnum and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine!
I’ll stick with the old .38 Special and Hornaday meat masher hollow points, much more effective, and NO over-penetration!
Well good for you
