Colt Grizzly Features — Colt Pro Shooting Team Captain Mark Redl’s Favorite Revolver

At the 2024 NRA Annual Meetings, Mark Redl, Colt Pro Shooting Team Captain and longtime competitive champion, introduced one of Colt’s most exciting new revolvers: the Colt Grizzly. Built on the famed Python platform but enhanced for performance, the Grizzly delivers strength, control, and precision—earning its place as Redl’s personal favorite revolver.

Watch the video above to hear directly from Mark why the Colt Grizzly stands out in Colt’s 2024 revolver lineup.

A Python Foundation with Performance-Boosting Upgrades

The Colt Grizzly retains the refined feel and smooth operation of the Python but adds several key features designed to elevate its performance with the .357 Magnum cartridge.

Unfluted Cylinder

• Adds strength and rigidity
• Provides extra weight to help manage .357 Magnum recoil
• Contributes to the Grizzly’s distinct, rugged appearance

4.25-Inch Barrel with Porting

• Barrel porting significantly reduces muzzle rise
• Improves shot-to-shot consistency
• Enhances speed when transitioning between targets

Legendary Colt Trigger

The Grizzly preserves the Python’s signature action:

• Exceptionally smooth double-action trigger
• Crisp and clean single-action break

Redl emphasizes that this trigger system is one of the reasons the Grizzly ranks as his top choice.

Premium Sight System

• Replaceable front sight for customization
• Fully adjustable rear sight for precise zeroing

These features combine to create a revolver built not only for accuracy but for adaptability in various shooting conditions.

Why the Colt Grizzly Is Mark Redl’s Favorite

Mark Redl’s enthusiasm for the Grizzly is clear. Its added weight, reduced recoil, and muzzle control make it a joy to shoot—whether in competition, defensive training, or recreational range time.

“It’s MY favorite,” Redl says, highlighting the gun’s balance, smooth performance, and enhanced .357 Magnum handling.
