Colt Viper 357Mag 3 Ss Half Lug Walnut$730.13
Availability: In Stock
The Colt Viper 357 Magnum revolver with a 4.25-inch half lug barrel is a dependable mid-frame wheelgun built for shooters who want serious stopping power without unnecessary bulk. This stainless-steel revolver balances the proven .357 Magnum chambering with practical concealability—the half lug design keeps weight down to 28.5 ounces while maintaining the rigid barrel lockup serious shooters expect. Whether you're carrying for personal defense, heading to the range, or keeping one in a nightstand, the Viper delivers the accuracy and reliability Colt has been known for since 1836.
The Viper pairs forged stainless-steel construction with a one-piece barrel crowned with a recessed target crown for precision. Double and single-action capability gives you flexibility in how you shoot it—you can work the hammer for deliberate shots or use the trigger for faster double-action work. Sights are straightforward: a black ramp front sight and U-notch rear for quick target acquisition without fussy adjustments. American walnut checkered grips provide a classic feel and secure purchase, even under recoil.
Like all Colt revolvers in the Shooter's Model line, this gun is 100% factory new, though it may exhibit minor cosmetic imperfections from the manufacturing process—nothing that affects function, just the kind of small marks that separate shooter's deals from safe queens. The gun accepts both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition, giving you flexibility at the bench or in the field. With six-round capacity and a trigger pull that breaks 7–9.5 pounds in double action, it's built to run, not impress.

Yes. The Viper is chambered in .357 Magnum and accepts .38 Special ammunition as well, giving you flexibility for practice, reduced recoil, or whatever your shooting demands.
Shooter's Model revolvers are brand new, factory-sealed guns that may have minor cosmetic imperfections from manufacturing—marks so small they're hard to see without close inspection or magnification. These small blemishes don't affect function or accuracy; they simply mean you're buying a shooter's gun at a shooter's value rather than a safe queen. Colt backs it with a one-year warranty on mechanical function.
At 28.5 ounces with a 4.25-inch barrel and half lug design, the Viper is compact enough for carry in a quality holster, though final fit depends on your body type and clothing. The stainless construction and .357 Magnum power make it serious for defensive use.
The Viper ships with American walnut checkered grips, which provide a classic appearance and secure handling through recoil.
