Editing Colt Cobra (section)

===Colt ''Viper''===
The Viper was essentially a 4-inch barreled version of the alloy-framed Colt Cobra in [[.38 Special]]. Introduced in 1977 and only produced that year, the Viper did not sell as well as Colt expected and was discontinued. In recent years, owing to its limited production run, the Viper has become quite collectable. Examples in good condition fetch unusually high prices. In 2024, Colt reintroduced the Viper, with similar wood grips to the original. However, apart from cosmetic resemblance, the new Viper has little in common with the original. The new Viper, like the new Cobra, is made from a steel frame, but unlike the new Cobra, the new Viper is chambered in [[.357 Magnum]]. The new Viper is also available in 3-inch and 4.25-inch barrel lengths.<ref>https://www.guns.com/news/2024/05/20/grizzly-kodiak-and-viper-colt-debuts-3-new-revolvers-for-2024 {{Bare URL inline|date=August 2024}}</ref>
