@@Cantafford2care, thats hillarious considering Colt turned their back on the American civillian market and ONLY came back to us when their military and government contracts started drying up.

Not just the Viper, the other two are comebacks as well. The Kodiak was first introduced back in 1993 as a limited, special version of the Anaconda. Same goes for the Grizzly, albeit back in 1994 and being a version of the Python.
The Kodiak 44 magnum is classic defined with that smooth unfluted cylinder and 4.25 inch barrel length. Love the factory porting addition though. What a powerful platform.
GREAT to see Colt expanding their line. We need the D frame .38 Special revolvers back! Detective Special, Diamondback, Police Positive Special. Also, let's see some hammer shrouds for concealed carry.
It's annoying to me that Colt brought back the Cobra/King Cobra on a modified D-frame; none of the original D-frame grips fit them properly. The same will probably go for this "new" Viper.
Its a sad state of affairs when buying used is more reliable than buying new (my 2020 king cobra was a pile of dogshit, my used dan wesson 15 has never had an issue)
I still don’t get what the point of Kodiak is. So it’s a 4.25 inch Anaconda? If it was caliber other than .44 Mag then I would see it. But this is an Anaconda
I only fired off a full cylinder at my local gun range. It was fantastic. Though I cannot offer any reliability or performance beyond that. My big thing is the action, wow! is an understatement. Beautiful gun. $$ too.
That Viper is pretty snazzy looking - love to see more partial underlug offerings in the revolver game these days. It appears to retain the problems I have with the new Cobra/King Cobra though; the squared, bent trigger guard looks strange, the grip frame isn't compatible with legacy Colt D-frame grips, the trigger face isn't wide enough, and I'd wager the trigger return spring is also a little weak as well I am glad to see Colt continually updating its revolver lineup and giving S&W and Ruger some much needed competition. I do wish they'd heed customer input sometimes too though. (That random third vent they added to the barrel rib on the new 4.25" Python was unnecessary, makes the gun look crowded, and makes it not match the stainless or vintage models for an example.)
You are aware that Buffalo Bore states on their website the Anaconda can handle it? _"This new load is designed ONLY for certain firearms. They are as follows; Ruger Red Hawk, Ruger Super Red Hawk (the Ruger Alaskan is a short barrel Super Redhawk), Ruger Super Blackhawk or Vaquero, Freedom Arms Model 83, Taurus Raging Bull All Steel Versions (no lightweight alloys), _*_Colt Anaconda_*_ , Magnum Research BFR and Dan Wesson Revolvers. Suitable rifles include T/C Encore, CVA Hunter, Handi Rifle and any rifle with a falling block action."_ Reading is fundamental. 😉
@Matteo_ I've read that before, but this is a new gun, and thus, I'm not just assuming it performs the same as an anaconda. I'd like to see either a statement from BB/UW or Colt
Colt, Taurus, Charter Arms and Ruger have figured out to make a 3" carry 357 with trench sights, Smith and Wesson keeps putting adjustable sights, which is nice, but isn't quite as snag-free.
bonjour merci pour cette vidéo de présentation rapide mais bien faites de ces différents modèles de chez colt merci pour le partage et la qualité vidéo perso j'ai une préférence pour le colt anaconda sous toutes ses longueurs de canon cordialement
I do prefer the looks and balance of a partial/half underlug, but I agree. I think the MSRP is about $200 too high on them personally. All's forgiven if they bring back the Colt MKIII Trooper on the Python frame in blue though! Those grips are probably Altamont-made laminate grips that are too thin, too sharp, and generally lousy too.
That's how revolvers go... The Detective Special was a Police Positive Special with a 2" barrel and round butt. The Diamondback is a Police Positive Special with sexed up barrel. The Python is the Trooper .357 (NOT Trooper MKIII) with a sexed up barrel. and THAT was an Officer's Model Match in .357 Magnum and THAT was an Official Police with target sights, hammer and grips ad infinitum They build on frames and change cartridges, barrels, sights or grips. The frames, within a frame size, and actions (lockwork) are the same
They should make an Australia Compliant version called the Drop Bear. It has a capacity of zero. But it’s heavy so you can drop it on the bad guys head.
I would buy the viper over the King Cobra, but it is a bit unoriginal nonetheless. I do hope to see new materials like aluminum, titanium and such for the snake guns
I hope that those Kodiak, Grizzly and Viper are as good or better than the Originals! I am very interested in the Kodiak but I would like to see a 6 inch model not a 4 since 44 Mag does better with the longer barrel.
@@ADRay1999 which despite what fudds will endlessly tell you on the interwebz, has zero bearing on the utility of the gun, unlike cylinders going out of timing for example.
It only took Colt 50 years, but they finally decided to begin catching up to Smith and Wesson and Ruger on big revolvers. Hell, in another 50 years they might even make one with a caliber larger than .44 mag.
Wow it’s like Colt had a money printing machine if they made classics that everyone wanted! Who would have guess, oh and thanks CZ for showing Colt how to be a successful gun company
Good to see Colt innovating a little bit, but WHEN are they going to produce lighter weight alloy frame guns like the original Cobra, Viper, and Agent. Is Colt simply giving that market away to S&W and Taurus??
I was curious about the revolver's specs when I saw the video, so I looked up the gun. It is heavy for what it is, the old Viper was much lighter and Colt could make it lightweight, by using modern materials and keeping it in .38. I don't understand Colt's choice.
I feel the same way about my 4.25"--I wish I could afford to trade it for the 5". These were not an option when I purchased the python. I am saving to buy a grizzly next summer.
I wonder if, now that CZ owns both Colt & Dan Wesson, that a Colt revolver with the Dan Wesson switch-barrel design will come out since Dan Wesson has discontinued revolver production....
@@platapus112 At least CZ has quality control; I'd take a CZ-made revolver over a true Colt any day since I can count on it, you know, actually working.
@@platapus112 would rather own a crappy newer pre CZ Colt revolver that had issues with timing and quality, than to own one after CZ got them up and running good again. Youre a cuck.

@@WALTERBROADDUS Because it wouldn't look right next to my Smiths, Rugers, and other Colts? I already have revolvers in the calibers I mentioned, I'd just like Colt to make one too... call it the Kamchatka or the Kodiak XL or something.
@@ADRay1999 in .500, most likely, but in .454 - not really, the .44 mag frame isn't much different in size than my Ruger's .454 one. These are forged frames and cylinders as well, a little carpenter steel here and there, and we could have it.
These are very nice if you want to shoot at paper targets only. Maybe even some hunting applications. But for a gunfight, against any 2-legged creature in a dark alley, I still prefer Ruger revolvers. But that's just my opinion!
I wish they would bring back the New Service, why Colt stopped selling an N frame sized revolver that was chambered for everything under the sun at the time is beyond me

The viper and grizzly are super revolvers ❤!
The Viper rocks!!!❤
It still stings a little, but CZ buying Colt is probably the least worst option that Colt could choose from.
I wish Colt was making more Blued revolvers than the stainless.
Nice to see the return of the Viper. Curious if we’ll get a blued version anytime soon.
Are they going to have major quality control issues as well?
Much like new S&Ws. The state of quality control in the industry is a wreck. 😩
Its a sad state of affairs when buying used is more reliable than buying new (my 2020 king cobra was a pile of dogshit, my used dan wesson 15 has never had an issue)
hopefully not, now that CZ owns them
Bet your ass on that!
a great very interesting video and wonderful wheel guns.have a good one the tfbtv crew.
These are nice!
Thank you for bringing up the question about available night sight options for the 357 to 44 Magnum series revolvers.
I am disappointed the Kodiak is not a .454.
Better yet 460 then you can run 454 and 45 LC

@@jic1 and call it Colt Mosquito
The Colt Grizzly has the best action I’ve ever used, it’s like butter. Just a dream and down right beautiful looking weapon.

Okay... And?
Safariland needs to start making COMP II speedloaders for the Cobra/King Cobra/Viper guns.
Is Colt still using their own rear sight or do they now offer the Wilson or Kensight Elliason?
They should make an Australia Compliant version called the Drop Bear.
It has a capacity of zero. But it’s heavy so you can drop it on the bad guys head.
I'm pretty sure that's on the slate for Oregon at the rate they're going.
Good to see Brandon finally working with a real channel!
No .500 or .460?
What about a optic system?

Cz triggers made their way to Colt & amen to THAT!
If they've got a 6 shot 44, they can make an 8 shot 357. All I'm saying.
I want to see them do a double stack 10mm 1911
Are they going to bring back the diamondback 38spl back?
I wish they would have brought the Diamondback 22 back instead of making a King Cobra in 22.
I think it'd be cool if they took their Python frame and set it up as a 5-shot .44 magnum as a direct competition to Smith & Wesson's Model 69.
The Grizzly should of been a 7 shot and the Kodiak should of been in 454. Come on Colt/CZ!! And where's the Trooper Mark lll/lV?
