Most Python Elite models were constructed in Stainless Steel making the production of the Royal Blue models limited with the 4" barrel model being even more Scarce and Desirable!
With the Colt company in financial difficulties, Colt moved production of the Colt Python into the Colt Custom Shop in 1997 and made it a custom order only revolver. To highlight this move, the Python had the name "Elite" added to the barrel and it became the Colt Python Elite. It was manufactured from 1997-1998, then reintroduced 1999, and then again during 2002-2006.
