Colt Python 2020 Series .357 Magnum 6" Stainless Revolver – 2nd Generation
Colt revived its legendary “Snake Gun” line in 2020, and this second-generation Python pairs modern engineering with the model’s classic appeal. Forged entirely from stainless steel, it features the vent-rib 6-inch barrel, full under-lug, and semi-bright finish collectors expect, now backed by a strengthened top strap and a transfer-bar safety system unique to the redesign. Factory-checkered walnut target stocks, an interchangeable red-ramp front sight, and fully adjustable rear sight round out a revolver that blends 1960s style with 21st-century durability.

What’s Included
- 6-shot revolver speed loader
This Python’s forged stainless-steel barrel, frame, and cylinder provide outstanding strength and corrosion resistance while retaining the revolver’s signature ventilated rib and recessed crown. The semi-bright finish gives a subdued sheen that highlights Colt’s precise machining.
A reinforced top strap uses 30 percent more steel than original-production Pythons for added durability with modern .357 Magnum loads. The transfer-bar system replaces the old hammer-block safety, allowing the revolver to be safely carried with all six chambers loaded.
User-focused upgrades include a quick-change front sight blade—swap heights or colors without gunsmithing—and a smooth double-action/single-action trigger that benefits from Colt’s refined 2020 lockwork. The wide, serrated spur hammer offers positive thumb purchase for single-action shots.
Checkered walnut target stocks with silver Colt medallions add classic touchpoints and a secure grip. A factory 2-D data-matrix mark provides digital traceability, and the “PY” serial prefix denotes first-year 2020 production, making this revolver an appealing early example of the re-engineered line.
