Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Magnum Carry is a compact, stainless-steel, double-action/single-action revolver designed to deliver true .357 Magnum performance in a carry-friendly package. Built on Colt’s small-frame “SF” platform and introduced in the late 1990s, the Magnum Carry brought the magnum chambering to a smaller, lighter Colt revolver—typically offered in short barrel lengths (around 2"–2.5") with a six-shot cylinder, wraparound rubber grips, and a satin stainless finish. Its practical controls—a service-type hammer, ramped front sight and fixed rear, and a smooth DA/SA trigger—combine with a transfer-bar safety to produce a confident, modern carry revolver that retains Colt’s classic mechanical character. Functionally, the Magnum Carry emphasizes controllability and portability while providing the ballistic authority of the .357 Magnum cartridge. The compact dimensions and modest weight make it easy to carry and quick to present, yet the stout chambering and six-round capacity deliver substantial stopping power for defensive or duty roles. Offered in factory configurations that include rubberized combat grips for secure handling and durable finishes for long service life, the Colt Magnum Carry represents Colt’s modern interpretation of a compact magnum revolver—marrying traditional revolver ergonomics with late-20th-century materials and safety features.
