Colt Viper 357 Mag 3 Overview

The Viper is a Colt pistol built for everyday carry. A good handgun should be reliable with a wide range of ammo, easy to shoot accurately and simple to maintain, and that is what this model is built to deliver.

Action and Controls

The Viper runs on a double/single action system that breaks at about 7-9.50 lbs. It holds 6rd rounds. Practice your trigger press and reloads until they feel natural.

Barrel and Sights

The 3 inch barrel is stainless with a 1/2 lug profile and a 1:14″ LH twist. Sights are Black Ramp Front/U-Notch Rear. Check that your front sight is crisp in focus as you press the trigger, which is the key to accuracy with any handgun.

Frame, Slide and Finish

The frame is stainless steel. The finish is Stainless. Grips are American Walnut.

Size and Carry

Overall length is 8″, height is 5″ and width is 1.40″. It weighs about 26.90 oz. That size works well for concealed carry with the right holster.

Ammo and Practice

Feed this pistol quality factory ammo from a known brand. Shoot a few hundred rounds of practice ammo and at least a box of your chosen defensive load to confirm it runs reliably before you trust it for protection.

The 357 Magnum

The 357 Magnum hits hard and also fires 38 Special, so you can practice with mild 38s and load full power magnums when you need them.

Concealed Carry and Defense

This pistol is sized for concealed carry. Pair it with a quality holster and a sturdy belt, and practice your draw with an unloaded gun before you carry. For home defense, keep it in a quick access safe.

Holsters and Accessories

Plan on a quality holster made for this exact model, a magazine pouch, a lock or quick access safe, and eye and ear protection. A weapon light and a red dot are popular upgrades if the gun is set up for them.

Buying Tips

Pick up extra magazines, a quality holster and plenty of practice ammo. If you are new to handguns, a basic safety class is a smart first step.

Care and Value

Clean the bore and action after each range trip or hunt, keep moving parts lightly oiled and wipe the finish after handling. A well kept Colt holds its value.
