The Python is back! Building on Colt’s Snake Gun legacy, the legendary double-action revolver returns in stainless steel in 4.25” and 6” barrel lengths. The 2020 Python features modern stainless steel alloys and a re-designed rear sight. Thirty percent more steel beneath the rear adjustable target sight gives you a stronger revolver and more robust shooting experience. A recessed target crown, user-interchangeable front sight, and Walnut grip with the iconic Colt medallion make this a gun you’ll want to shoot AND show off. The Python is chambered in .357 Magnum and also accommodates .38 Special cartridges.
I waited all my life before I could afford to purchase a Colt Python. When that day came it still took me over 13 months on a waiting list to receive my beautiful copy of the best revolver ever made. After careful very close inspection I could no imperfections at all. My Python was flawless and I couldn't wait to check its accuracy at the range. I shot some Freedom Munitions 38 special 148gr wadcutters and some Remington Golden Sabre 357 magnum 125 gr HP all with excellent results. I have the 6 inch barrel so the balance is very good. I own several S&W 686s and they shoot very good but not in the same class as the Python. Most people would make a safe queen out of this gun but not me. I have waited far too long to get my hands on one and I plan to shoot this one if I can find the ammo. I rate this gun a 10+...
