Description
The Colt Grizzly is built for the shooter who wants a serious, full-featured double-action revolver in .357 Magnum — one that handles comfortably at the range and earns its keep as a field sidearm or home defense option. It is not a carry-trimmed snub, and it is not a target-only piece; the 4.25-inch barrel sits in a practical middle ground where velocity is meaningfully better than a snub-nose without the handling trade-offs of a longer tube.
The 1-in-14-inch rate of twist is calibrated for the bullet weights that dominate .357 Magnum factory loads, stabilizing projectiles across the broad spectrum of defensive and hunting ammunition this cartridge supports. Because the cylinder also accepts .38 Special, that twist rate serves equally well when running lighter practice loads.
The double-action/single-action trigger gives the shooter two distinct modes: a longer, heavier pull for a fast first shot without manual cocking, and a short, light single-action break when the situation calls for precision. That mechanical flexibility matters for a revolver expected to do more than one job.
Colt finished the barrel with a polished surface, and the California DOJ listing confirms stainless steel construction throughout — a combination that resists corrosion in wet conditions without requiring the kind of obsessive maintenance blued steel demands. The red ramp front sight pulls the eye quickly in low light, while the adjustable rear lets you dial in point of impact for the load you rely on rather than accepting a fixed zero. Six-round capacity is standard for a revolver of this frame class.
