Its user-replaceable brass bead front sight and rubber Hogue grip make it ready for both carry and range use, while the RA-prefix serial confirms 2019-present production.

Colt machines the frame, cylinder, and full-lug 3-inch barrel from solid stainless steel, then applies a matte brushed finish that resists glare and simplifies maintenance.
The revolver’s LL2 linear leaf mainspring provides a smooth, consistent double-action pull while preserving a crisp single-action break—traits that made earlier Snake Guns famous with revolver enthusiasts.
A user-replaceable brass bead front sight pairs with a fixed rear sight milled into the top strap, giving a rugged aiming setup that can still be customized to suit individual preferences.
The exposed, serrated hammer spur allows thumb-cocking for precise single-action shots, while the transfer-bar safety system blocks the firing pin until the trigger is fully pressed, adding peace of mind for carry or storage.
Factory-installed Hogue over-molded rubber grips absorb recoil and index the hand naturally, complementing the revolver’s compact 3-inch configuration for balanced handling on the range or in the field.
