What’s Included
- Colt Python revolver
The 6 inch Python configuration showcases the model's hallmark profile with a ventilated rib and full-length underlug, paired to Colt's high-polish Royal Blue finish. The steel frame bears the Colt rampant pony rollmark; the cylinder is plain, and the revolver was made in the USA.
The double-action/single-action, hand-fitted V-spring mechanism delivers the Python's signature operating system. The cylinder rotates clockwise and is a six-flute, six-chamber design with a knurled ejector-rod tip.
Sights consist of an adjustable square-notch rear and a pinned, serrated ramp front for precise alignment. The smooth-faced trigger and wide, checkered hammer spur provide classic Colt controls.
Wraparound black synthetic grips with Colt medallions complement the steel construction. Matching serial numbers on the crane and frame confirm originality, aligning with collector expectations for an original-production Python from 1980.
