New Colt Revolvers

Colt recently released three new products which continue its tradition of creating powerful revolvers designed for a wide variety of applications. The Colt Grizzly is a .357 Mag. revolver optimized for use in the back country and has a polished stainless-steel finish and a matte surface on the top rib. On the other hand, the Colt Viper packs the power of the .357. Mag. round into a package that is optimized for defensive carry. The final revolver is the Kodiak, a .44 Mag. powerhouse that merges classic style with cutting-edge features, all of which are optimized for the hunt.
