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.
Production of the Python continued as a production line gun until the late 1990s. With the Colt company in financial difficulties and losing some of their best craftsmen, Colt moved production 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. The Elite was exactly the same gun as the standard Python, with only the barrel stamp being different. Production of the Python finally ended in 2003-04. The Colt Python Elite was introduced to fill a void in the market after discontinuing the original Python. The name is synonymous with rigid construction and captivating styling.
