COLT Viper | .357 Magnum | 3 in. Barrel | 6rd | VIPER-SP3WRR

The Colt Viper is a compact, forged stainless-steel revolver chambered in .357 Magnum with a 3 inch barrel and a traditional walnut grip. Its half-lug barrel and recessed target crown reduce weight while preserving barrel alignment and accuracy. The Viper operates in double-action and single-action modes and accepts .38 Special as well as .357 Magnum cartridges. For a practical optic under $1,000 that pairs well with a compact revolver for rapid sight acquisition, consider the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro reflex sight.

Applications: everyday carry (concealed carry) and range/precision practice for shooters who prefer a traditional revolver platform.
