This is a modern iteration of the iconic large-frame double-action revolver, meticulously engineered for the discerning shooter who demands both heritage and performance. Chambered in the potent .44 Remington Magnum, this 4.25-inch barreled model is built on a forged carbon steel frame and finished in a classic polished blue.

Key Features

• Forged Carbon Steel Construction: The frame and critical components are machined from solid forged carbon steel, providing exceptional strength and durability to handle the .44 Magnum cartridge’s pressures while ensuring long-term reliability.
• Classic Polished Blued Finish with Matte Rib: Features a deep, lustrous polished blue finish on the frame and barrel, contrasted by a matte-finished top rib to reduce glare—a hallmark of traditional Colt craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal.
• Target Walnut Grips with Medallions: Fitted with precisely checkered walnut target grips that provide a secure, comfortable hold. Each grip is adorned with a gold Colt medallion, signifying its authenticity and premium status.
• Versatile Double-/Single-Action Operation: Offers the shooter the flexibility of a double-action trigger pull for defensive scenarios or a crisp, light single-action pull for precision shooting, making it adaptable to various situations.
• Optimized 4.25-Inch Barrel Profile: This barrel length strikes a practical balance, offering improved velocity and sight radius over shorter snub-nose models while remaining more holster-friendly and maneuverable than longer 6-inch or 8-inch variants.
• Six-Round Cylinder Capacity: The robust cylinder is chambered for six rounds of .44 Remington Magnum (also capable of firing .44 Special), providing substantial firepower in a proven, reliable revolver platform.
