The Colt Python is a modern production double-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, featuring a 4.25-inch barrel and forged stainless steel frame. The design carries forward the reinforced top strap and updated internals of the reintroduced Python series, improving durability while maintaining the revolver’s traditional balance and handling.

Sights consist of an adjustable rear with a red-ramp front blade. The full-lug barrel profile adds weight forward of the frame to reduce muzzle rise and aid stability during firing. Operation is double-action or single-action with a six-round fluted cylinder. Factory-fitted walnut target grips with Colt medallions are installed. This model is compatible with both .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges.
