Editor’s Take
We’ve seen a barrage of new Colt revolver introductions of late. The Python line grew with the addition of 8-inch variants. Then the Colt Grizzly and Kodiak brought serious magnum wheelguns built for rough country and the wild.
Now the Viper targets the concealed carry market with a seemingly smart feature set to appeal to serious carry enthusiasts. We greatly appreciate the recessed target crown for superior accuracy potential. Chambered in .357 Magnum, shooters get the benefit of magnum power for defense or lighter .38 Special loads for practice. The stainless steel build should whether all carry conditions and prove dependable when needed most.
