Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Viper was an aluminum framed version of the post-1972 Colt Police Positive Special. It was available with a 4" barrel and in blue or bright nickel.
Caliber was .38 Special. The Viper used walnut grips of the same design as those used on the post-1972 Detective Special and Cobra, but the Viper grips are slightly longer.
The Viper was made from 1977 to 1984 although actual production was low. This makes it one of the more rare Colt revolvers. Since it's a Colt "snake gun", it's also hunted by collectors seeking to acquire one of each of the Colt revolvers named after snakes.
Other than being made in blue or nickel there were no Viper variations. The new Viper is a sound design that offers the wheelgun aficionado just one more option in the extensive Colt lineup of sporting handguns. Its is just the sort of nonsence revolver one would want as either a home-protection gun, for duty use or for a trail gun.
Condition and Contents:
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Viper is in Superb condition showing no indications of previous consumer use or handling that we can see whatsoever! Additionally, it will ship with a colt labeled box "that we believe was added after leaving the factory", 2 sets of original walnut grips (1 set are cracked) and all contents pictured above.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
