Colt Courier .22 LR Revolver – Rare 3″ Alloy-Frame Snub (LW38731)

This Colt Courier is a scarce little alloy-frame .22 LR revolver from Colt’s lightweight D-frame line, and this one wears the desirable 3" barrel. Finished in Colt’s deep blue with factory checkered walnut grips, it offers that classic mid-century Colt look in a compact, easy-packing package. The alloy grip frame shows some honest carry wear along the edges, but the blued steel barrel and cylinder retain strong finish, and the Colt medallions in the grips are crisp and clean.

Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the Courier makes a perfect kit gun or trail revolver—light in the holster but still large enough to shoot well. The 3" barrel gives you a bit more sight radius and velocity than a snub while still being extremely handy. With its combination of lightweight frame, small-batch production, and rimfire chambering, the .22 LR Courier has become a sought-after piece among Colt collectors, especially in this rarely seen barrel length.

Whether you’re rounding out a Colt D-frame collection or want a vintage, high-quality .22 revolver for plinking and small-game duty, this LW-marked Courier is an excellent find.
