The Python Hunter was manufactured in 1981, and approximately only 2,400 were produced, with hunting enthusiasts being the target audience. This example also comes with all the original contents and the original case!

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Python Hunter is a specialized variant of the legendary Colt Python revolver, which is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, accuracy, and smooth trigger action. Introduced in the early-1980s, the Python Hunter was designed specifically for handgun-hunting enthusiasts. This model features an 8-inch barrel, a factory-installed scope, and a distinctive barrel rib with a full-length underlug, contributing to its enhanced accuracy and balance. The Python Hunter typically comes with a factory-supplied hard case and accessories, such as a scope mount and rings, making it a comprehensive hunting package.
The Colt Python itself was introduced in 1955 and quickly became one of the most highly regarded revolvers in the world due to its premium construction and precise performance. The Python Hunter variant capitalized on this reputation by catering to the growing popularity of handgun hunting during the 1980s. The integration of a scope and the revolver's inherent accuracy made it a preferred choice for hunters seeking a reliable and powerful sidearm. In summary, the Colt Python Hunter is a specialized version of the iconic Colt Python designed for the handgun-hunting market. Its combination of a factory-installed scope, precision engineering, and the renowned quality of the Python series makes it a sought-after model among collectors and hunting enthusiasts.
