Colt Python .357 Magnum 6-inch Stainless DA/SA Revolver with Adjustable Sights and Walnut Grips (PYTHON-SP6WTS)
This is a modern Colt Python in .357 Magnum with a 6-inch stainless steel barrel and frame, built in the USA during the 2020–2026 production run. It features Colt's strengthened top strap with approximately 30% more steel and updated internal lockwork versus legacy versions. The revolver includes user-replaceable, screw-retained orange-insert front sight, an adjustable square-notch rear sight, and checkered walnut grips with silver Colt medallions. The factory case label lists SKU PYTHON-SP6WTS and matches the revolver's serial, which carries the PY prefix and a laser-etched 2D Data Matrix.
The full-underlug, vent-rib barrel with a recessed crown, a 1:14 left-hand twist, and a six-shot fluted cylinder underscore this model's classic Python lineage with current-production refinements. Markings include the Rampant Colt logo on the left frame and the right-side rollmark reading COLT'S MFG., HARTFORD, CT USA.
Dimensions and balance reflect the 6-inch configuration, with an overall length of 11.5 inches and an unloaded weight of 46.0 ounces. The rear-sliding, checkered Colt cylinder latch offers positive control, and the double-action/single-action system provides versatile operation. This example comes with its Colt factory blue hard case and owner's manual, plus a brown leather belt holster for a 6-inch revolver.
