Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Python is a .357 Magnum caliber revolver manufactured by Colt's Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut. It was first introduced in 1955, the same year as Smith & Wesson's M29 .44 Magnum. The Colt Python is intended for the premium revolver market segment. Some firearm collectors and writers such as Jeff Cooper, Ian V. Hogg, Chuck Hawks, Leroy Thompson, Scott Wolber, Renee Smeets, and Martin Dougherty have described the Python as "the finest production revolver ever made."
In 1980, an 8-inch barrel Python was introduced chambered for the .38 Special. The Colt Python Target .38 Special was made in Royal Blue, and only 1962 Colt Python Targets were given the nickel finish.
