The Colt Kodiak .44 Magnum 8-inch (Colt part no. KODIAK-SP8RTS) is a stainless steel double-action/single-action revolver with a ported vent-rib barrel. The porting helps manage muzzle rise, and the vent rib gives a stable sighting plane. A polished stainless frame and an unfluted stainless cylinder keep the profile clean, with black rubber grips and an exposed hammer. Colt builds the Kodiak for hunters and handgun enthusiasts who want maximum reach from a six-shooter.
