It would a good bare bones revolver for $600 but not for $1000.

1000 for full sized gun with a troff sight. God colt still loves over charging.

I thought this revolver was going to be what everyone wanted as a carry revolver, but at $1000 I think they missed the point.

I feel like these would sell great at $699. I can't see $1000 personally.

they call that hairstyle the 50/50 mullet. well played sir.

I had the original lightweight blue Colt Viper with the alloy frame, 4" barrel with fixed sights. It had a very smooth double action trigger pull and was very accurate. Sad I had to sell it in 1995 but kept my S&W Model 36 with the 3" bull barrel which I still have it today. I kept the Smith because I felt at that time that it would last longer than the Viper because of its all steel frame.

Wish I could get a Colt in my collection, but they're just way out there in price. There's too many options out there I'd rather spend $1000 on. It's a beautiful revolver though.

Local gun shop tells me majority of people buying these and the other Colt revolvers will never shoot them and adding to their collections and for investment

I would love either of those. Can't afford it now though.

Reminds me of the Colt Lawman I carried when I started as a rookie patrolman. And yes, that was a long time ago.

I had an idea. I know that's scary. But anyway if colt would take a cobra and put a vent rib barrel from a king cobra you could bring back the diamond back???

Hey CZ! We want the SAA back also.

Bring the Trooper Mark lV back!!

Absolutely awesome 👍. I can't wait till they hit the stores.

A 4.25" barrel with a rear gutter sight is different. I like it.

Should have done scandium frame titanium cylinder +P .38 Special and called it Viper keeping with spirit of original '70s version.

Would have been nice to have seen the guns up close. Guy has a decent mullet though.

Colt really riding hard off their name

DA Trigger on these are fantastic!

Would like to see a good quality blued version.

With that fucking trigger guard still, it’s great for the cobra, but for polished stainless $1000 novelty pistol you’d think they would ditch that ugly trigger guard.

Ohhh NICE!

I love the old style revolvers

It’s the same revolver. Yeah, but it says Viper on it.

What does Jerry have to say about it? Looks nice and light.

Too $$$$ for my wallet.

The first colt that I would consider, I HATE the look a full under lug barrels. Just not my thing so this is rivht up my alley

I saw the Grizzly and love it

Looks like my old S&W 65

So a Colt Trooper for 2024

How are these different from a colt king? Are they smaller framed?

I bet they'll never bring back their single action army. I'm 60 years old and gave up on Colt. Yes to each their own but dang, how does a company like Colt go backwards?

To be fair, the GP100 MSRP is $999, so I don't think this would he unreasonable around the $700-$800 street price. As much as I want to knock Colt for being overpriced, I want to see them succeed. Mostly because their failing would hurt CZ 😅

They just don’t get it.

so its like a colt version of k frame model 19

Will the screws still fall out for no apparent reason

So $999 msrp maybe $825 street?

what's the difference between Viper and King Cobra ?

Colt Viper is not a new name. There was one back in the Seventies that died quickly: the topstrap frame cracked in front of the hammer sometimes. I don't know if it was withdrawn by Colt, but it went away. Amazingly it would still function and fire!....................elsullo

I like the King Cobra better. They are about the same price. The Viper looks like it will get lost in the sea of revolvers since it has no stand out features.

The Colt Viper, whether the older .38 Model, or the new 2024 .357 Model, were over priced in 1977 and way over priced in 2024. Just a point of interest, the Armscor Model 200 is a "dead ringer" for the 77-Viper and the 2024-Viper. Dimensions are almost exact, grips will interchange with Armscor and Colt Viper Models, they are that close to each other. Now gun experts of the world will quickly condemn the Armscor 200 as a "cheap" buy, no quality controls, and certainly not reliable.The price I paid for my Model 200 was 250.00 several years ago. For two full years of shooting this so-called unreliable revolver, standard .38 loads and occasional hot .38's, and I'm still waiting on this unreliable Model 200 to break down. I owned a Colt Viper several years back. Purchased it used from local pawnshop for 275-dollars. I had no idea the value of these alloy frame, six-shot, Colt's would rise as they have, but they did. A leaf trigger spring in the Viper with a coil spring in the Armscor 200. The weight of the 4-inch barrel Viper was about 25-oz, whereas the Armscor has a 29oz. weight with a steel frame. The Viper's twin brother of 1977, was the Police Positive. Same gun as the Viper, but with a steel frame, and different name markings on the barrel. These were over-priced in 1977, as is the new stainless steel 2024 Colt Viper in .357 Magnum at 999-dollars for a fixed sight cop revolver. As a cop back in the early 70's, the Colt Police Positive was a popular revolver with foreign agencies and some stateside PD's. But not enough to keep it alive on the Colt assembly line. The Colt product was good, but overpriced as hell. When you are talking about a mid-to-large size agency of 200 officers or more, the S&W Model 10 saved the day for many budget crunched PD's. A damn great gun, theS&W Model 10 was standard issue with numerous PD's and Security Officers in the US, and foreign orders My own PD issued the Model 10, I can attest to its quality, reliability, and long service record. Colt would not modify their high dollar prices in the revolver days of law enforcement. S&W sold so many Model 10's to police, security firms, and civilians the competition could not match. Ruger came along in the early 70's with their Security-Six Revolvers, that were chambered in .38 or .357, adjustable or fixed sights. This Ruger offering cut a dent into S&W sales to law enforcement. My point in all this is that in post war times, Colt lost 1st Place in sales to S&W because their line of revolvers and pistols were overpriced. A labor union had invaded Colt inputs war times and the labor expense at Colt shot straight up, and prices on Colt firearms would subsequently follow the climbing labor cost. Union strikes through the years hurt Colt terribly. Many American gun buyers felt the Union presence at Colt would sooner or later put Colt out of business. Colt has hung on, going under a time or two, but rising up again when they brought back the revolver line that had one time, had them on top of firearm sales (before post war Union formed). With a new Python introduction in 2020, a new King Cobra, and new Viper, the gun buyers, starving for something new at Colt, were thrilled at the Python comeback at 1500-dollars a pop. For Python Revolvers, most gun buyers admire and wish, but cannot afford. The same will apply to the new Viper. Gun buyers like myself, I will admire and wish, but cannot afford a thousand dollars for a fixed sight .357 revolver. A type of double-action I carried for years as a beat cop in the 70's, 80's, 90's and into the new century at retirement time. I always purchased second-hand Colt Revolvers because of the new gun prices back in the 70's. The Official Police, the Police Positive Special were two of my carry favorites in a 40+year cop career. I will admire and wish for the new Viper, so I will pick up my Model 200, purchased 10-years ago, that experts criticized, and then I will get my two other Armscor six-guns out and admire their Colt Diamondback looks. The Model 206 in double & single action, and another Model 206 with a DAO trigger. I own three Armscor six-guns now. Their service to myself has shamed the naysayers that severely criticized these "VERY RELIABLE" revolvers. Sorry for the length. The new Viper from Colt fired me up!

Would it have killed them to cut it for real sights?

Colt has been.

Have you priced S&W garbage lately?

Not a colt,Its a CZ , America first

Sounds little pricy but Colt makes really good revolvers , I recently inherited a Colt Border Patrol and it is way better than my Smith and Wesson's . Trigger and cylinder release are smooth as butter while my Smiths are stiff in comparison.

I will buy the new Heritage Rosco or mabye the Henrey revolver .The colts are too expensive.

Of course they keep the ugly trigger guard from the new cobra

Unfortunately, just like everything else made today, I compared my S&W made in 1974 to a new S&W revolver and they’re not even close to being the same. The new models build quality is garbage in comparison. I hope Colt isn’t like that, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was.

Colt could do a nice revolver for $300 and help arm people with a decent piece. $1,000 ? Not for most working people.

...... First thing I notice the trigger guard is the same as a Cobra/king Cobra - this is great because it's the largest trigger guard out there(gloves) also why are all revolver trigger guards so small ?

No matter what you say and think,colt revolvers are the only brand that you’ll be able to get your same money back at the very least, hold onto them and you’ll always get more than you paid for them, no brag,just fact.

Full lugs look so much better... looks complete

I mean, just look for a good condition S&W Model 10 with a pinned barrel. It will be cheaper and more valuable simultaneously.

Still on the 4.25-inch barrel kick. Can't understand why. Justin Castro outlawed handguns for Canadians. Get back to running 4-inch barrels. 🇺🇸

Not sure what the appeal would be here. Price point is too high for what it is and it lacks the charm of the original. I own Colts, S&W, and Ruger. The latter two would be better choices for less.

So the Viper is the same frame as the Python?

Rather have their Cobra, than this. 😿

For the price.....find a used model 64

A piece of junk S&W model 10 classic is $750-850, a aRuger sp101 3 inch 357 is around $920 , and you don’t think the Colt is worth it? So buy a Taurus.

Wash those new shirts in cold water and they will fit afterwards You’re welcome

is it the same shitty lock up trigger they have in the new Colt Python?

nothing special about Viper, meh. Just because it is a Colt with a snake namesake? Try next time you like care.

Not worth that price.

$999… 😳

Anybody complaining about the price tag is spoiled by cheap Turkish and Brazilian guns. You get what you pay for.

sell its for 500 flat or im out lmfaoo all these wheel guns that have dog shit sights and they want a grand for em

A firm 👎 no For 450$ maybe Colt more legend than substance Quality is iffy

get an sp101 for 650 instead

New a design that was from the early 1800s 😂😅😂😅

Lmao, this a joke? Man they have went downhill.

Yeah. No thanks.

Ehhh... Not impressed....

Too pricey !

Looks lame, and CZ is letting Colt ruin them.

Still using that ugly trigger guard and horrible trigger 😂

so long as boomers keep over paying for this shit theyll keep charging $1k for a basic ass revolver

Meh…colt is dead to me…ruger gp 100 all day every day 😊😅😂❤

No thanks colt..when you guys sold out to CZ I no longer wanted to buy your stuff.

America getting less safe one gun at a time.😂😂😂😂😂

Leave it to colt to put on an overblown price tag on a $500 revolver.

Dam colt, can u all come up with a better name, you all have over done it with the snake names, what is it there at colt, is serpentology study’s a hobby for you all or something

Isn't Colt owned by CHINA now?
