Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In the history of modern double action American handguns, the Colt Python revolver stands above all others. It was born in the mid-1950's in a post-war era in which quality was already starting to fall from the heights that American gun making had attained in the 1930's and 40's. Going against the grain of fast, mass production firearms made of stamped and fabricated parts and "Space Age" plastics and aluminum, the Python was intended to be the finest revolver ever made in America, and it met that goal. When Colt began to offer the Python with a 2 1/2" barrel, Colt legend says it started off as a joke by two Colt managers who wanted to play a practical joke on a senior manager. They had a Python shortened to 2 1/2" and showed it to the intended victim. At the time, the idea of a short barreled revolver with the powerful, heavy muzzle blast of the .357 Magnum was considered to be ridiculous. Instead of laughing, the manager handled the snubby Python and liked the feel so well, he ordered it into production.
