Colt Viper 357 Mag 4.25" 6rd Stainless Revolver

The Colt Viper brings back a name from Colt's snake gun line as a six shot 357 Magnum built for carry and range use. This version has a 4.25" barrel with a half lug profile that trims weight up front, a recessed target crown, and forged stainless steel for the frame, barrel and cylinder. It weighs 28.5 oz unloaded and runs 9.25" overall. The cylinder is chambered for 357 Magnum and also takes 38 Special, so you can practice with mild loads and carry full power ones.

Sights are a black ramp front and a U notch rear, a simple setup that picks up fast. The trigger works double action or single action with an exposed hammer, and the checkered American walnut grips give the revolver a traditional look against the stainless finish. The 4.25" length is a middle ground: long enough for a useful sight radius and better velocity, short enough to ride on the belt all day. It makes sense for someone who wants one revolver to cover the nightstand, the range and a walk in the woods.
