Colt Viper Revolver .357 Magnum 3 inch 6 Round Stainless Steel

The Colt Viper Revolver 357 Mag 3 in. Stainless 6 rd. is a compact carry revolver that blends Colt's engineering pedigree with practical field use, and it's built on a forged stainless steel frame with a half lug design to reduce weight and improve concealability for daily carry or backcountry protection. With a 3-inch barrel and a six-round stainless cylinder that handles full-power .357 Magnum loads as well as .38 Special service loads, the Viper's DA/SA action and exposed hammer give you fast, reliable follow-up shots and the option for deliberate single-action accuracy when hunting small game or taking defensive shots under pressure. The American walnut grips provide a classic feel and positive purchase without adding bulk, while the black ramp front and U-notch rear sights deliver clear sight picture for quick target acquisition on the range or in low-light encounters. At roughly 26.9 ounces and an overall length near 8 inches, this revolver balances shootability with concealment for off-duty carry, ranch use, or patrol applications; note that transfer requires an FFL. As part of Colt's line of practical, duty-capable wheelguns, the Viper is aimed at shooters who want time-tested reliability, straightforward controls, and the flexibility to run hot defensive rounds or milder practice ammunition.
