COLT GRIZZLY 357MAG 4.25″ 6RD – POLISHED STAINLESS HOGUE GRIPS

Colt's Grizzly is a full-size double-action revolver chambered in 357 Magnum/38 Special, wearing a polished stainless finish and Hogue rubber grips on a compact frame. It draws buyers who want adjustable target sights and an unfluted cylinder in a package built around the Python/Anaconda grip family. TacticCAL carries it as a DOJ Roster listed handgun.

Deciding Whether a Target-Sighted Magnum Revolver Fits Your Range or Home

The Grizzly is built around the adjustable rear sight and red ramp front sight combination — a setup that rewards deliberate shooting over speed. At 42 ounces with a 4.25-inch barrel, this is a range gun and home-defense option, not a carry piece. The unfluted cylinder and polished stainless finish signal a revolver meant to be looked at as much as shot. Buyers who already own a Python or Anaconda will recognize the grip interface immediately — the rubber Hogue grips are interchangeable across that family, so grip swaps are straightforward. If you're sourcing a holster, Galco and Safariland both offer options sized for large-frame revolvers at this barrel length. More on DOJ Roster certified handguns at TacticCAL.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Grizzly's Hogue grips be swapped for Python or Anaconda grips I already own?

Yes. The manufacturer confirms grips are interchangeable with all Python and Anaconda grips, so any panel from that family will fit the Grizzly without modification.

What ammunition does the Grizzly cylinder accept — 357 Magnum only, or 38 Special too?

The cylinder is rated for both 357 Magnum and 38 Special per the manufacturer's caliber listing. Many owners run 38 Special for lower-cost range work and step up to 357 Magnum when needed.

While I'm waiting out the 10-day period after DROS, what's worth sourcing before pickup?

Pick up 357 Magnum or 38 Special ammunition, a CA-compliant locked transport container for the drive home, and a holster sized for a large-frame revolver at 4.25 inches. Scheduling a range session for shortly after pickup is also worth doing — this sight setup benefits from dedicated zeroing time.

What do I need to bring for DROS in California?

Bring a valid California driver's license or ID card, proof of residency, your Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC), and payment for the firearm and transfer fees.

What is an FFL transfer in California?

An FFL transfer is when a federally-licensed dealer like TacticCAL receives a firearm shipped from another seller and processes California's required DROS paperwork to legally transfer it to you.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?
