The new Colt Viper has a full-sized frame forged from stainless steel for a guarantee of strength and durability for a long time to come. Leaving no doubts about the shooting experience and reliability of this Colt revolver.

The barrels for the viper are going to be available in two lengths, a 3″ or 4.25″ option. both of which feature a 1:14” Left-Hand Twist and 6-groove rifling. They are a one-piece construction with a recessed target crown for optimal accuracy and performance with each shot. The sights are a rear U-notch and a black front ramp for a snag-free draw. For Colt collectors who have been looking to fill out their Colt “Snake” collection, this is a very welcome option with an MSRP of $999. These concealable revolvers should be shipping later this summer.
