The Colt Grizzly is a double/single-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum that also accepts .38 Special. It has a 6-inch ported, full-lug barrel with a ventilated rib. The frame is stainless steel with a polished body and a matte-finished top rib to cut glare off the sight line. The cylinder is unfluted and holds 6 rounds, and the gun wears Hogue OverMolded rubber grips.

Owners of the Grizzly in .357 Magnum generally like having a Colt double-action revolver with a ported barrel, since porting is not something offered on every big-bore Colt. The leaf-spring trigger is a point people bring up often, describing the double-action pull as smoother and less stacked than they expected out of the box.

The Hogue OverMolded grips get consistent praise for taming recoil in .357 loads, and a number of owners mention swapping in other Colt Python or Anaconda-pattern grips since the mounting is shared. Fit and finish on the stainless frame and ported barrel are usually described as clean, though a few owners note the polished flats show fingerprints and holster wear more than a matte finish would.

On value, the Grizzly sits above typical production revolvers, and buyers weigh that against the ported barrel, adjustable sights, and Colt fit. Owners who already carry a Python or Anaconda in the same grip pattern tend to see the added cost as reasonable given the interchangeability and build quality.
