The current-generation Python uses a stainless-steel frame, cylinder, and 8-inch full-lug barrel that together weigh 51 ounces unloaded, delivering recoil control and durability.
Colt’s redesign adds 30 percent more steel to the top strap and a reinforced action while retaining the smooth double-action/single-action trigger that made the Python famous.
The vent-rib barrel sports top-rib lightening slots and a recessed target crown, while its 1:14 LH six-groove rifling optimizes accuracy with .357 Magnum loads.
User-swappable sights include a pinned brass-bead front blade and a fully adjustable square-notch rear, allowing easy point-of-aim tuning.
Installed Macassar ebony finger-groove stocks offer a sculpted, high-contrast grip; the original walnut target stocks are included for collectors who prefer the classic look.
