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. Demands were made for other finishes besides Royal Blue, so over the years, Colt offered the Python in Bright Nickel, satin electroless nickel known as "Coltguard", and in the early 1980's in satin stainless steel and in bright mirror polished stainless steel, variously known as Bright Polish or Ultimate Polish.

When Colt began offering the Python with a 2 1/2" barrel, Colt legend says that 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 that he ordered it into production.  The Colt Python was intended for the premium revolver market segment.
