Key Features

• Forged stainless steel construction – Why it matters: This gives you a revolver that shrugs off moisture and fouling, keeping tight tolerances for thousands of rounds without rust spots or frame flex.
• 4.25-inch one-piece stainless barrel – Why it matters: A single piece of bar stock eliminates barrel-to-frame gaps, improving accuracy and reducing point-of-impact shift as the barrel heats up during long target sessions.
• Adjustable target rear sight with fiber optic front – Why it matters: The red fiber optic grabs light fast, and the rear clicks in windage and elevation, so you can dial in your exact load without guessing.
• Double- and single-action operation – Why it matters: Start with a crisp single-action pull for bullseye work, then switch to double-action for rapid follow-ups or defensive drills. One gun, two shooting styles.
• Black Hogue overmolded rubber grips – Why it matters: These grips soak up the .22 LR’s mild recoil and lock your hand into a repeatable high grip, reducing fatigue during 200-round range days.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for the collector who wants a modern take on the classic Colt snake gun. It’s also perfect for the target shooter who needs a .22 trainer that mirrors the weight and trigger of a centerfire duty revolver. If you’re a gun show regular looking for a stainless sixgun with real Colt heritage, this is your piece.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: All-stainless construction means no finish wear from holsters or handling – it stays looking like new for decades.
• Pro: The 4.25-inch barrel balances like a full-size duty revolver, making transition drills feel natural.
• Con: The factory trigger has a bit of stack in double-action mode – a gunsmith polish can smooth it out, but out of the box it’s heavier than some S&W Performance Center revolvers.
