Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Python is a .357 Magnum caliber revolver formerly 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 now-discontinued Colt Python targeted the premium revolver market segment. Some firearm collectors and writers such as Jeff Cooper, Ian V. Hogg, Chuck Hawks, Leroy Thompson, Renee Smeets, and Martin Dougherty have described the Python as the finest production revolver ever made. As a result, it features precision adjustable sights, a smooth trigger, solid construction, and extra metal. Pythons have a distinct appearance due to a full barrel underlug, ventilated rib and adjustable sights. Originally, Colt manufactured Pythons with hollow underlugs but left them solid to work as a stabilizing barrel weight.
When the revolver is at full cock, just as the trigger is pressed, the cylinder locks up for the duration of the hammer strike. Other revolvers have a hint of looseness even at full-cock. The gap between the cylinder and the forcing cone is very tight, further aiding accuracy and velocity. Starting in the 1970s, each Python revolver was bore-sighted at the factory with a laser and was the first mass-produced revolver to do so. During the popular TV series The Walking Dead, Deputy Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) carried a Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver with a six-inch barrel as his duty sidearm. This gun was chosen for its high stopping power and accuracy.
