The 3" barreled Colt Pythons were a limited production by Colt. They were first introduced in the 1980s and were designed as a compact version of the popular Colt Python revolver. Due to their limited production, they are considered a rare find in the firearms market and are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. The 3" barrel length makes them ideal for concealed carry, as they are smaller and more manageable than their longer-barreled counterparts. While they may be rare, those lucky enough to own one know that they are a true gem in the world of firearms!

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In the history of modern double-action American handguns, the Colt Python revolver stands above all others. It was born in the mid-1950s in a post-war era in which quality was already starting to fall from the heights that American gun-making had attained in the 1930s and 40s.
Going against the grain of fast, mass-production firearms made of stamped and fabricated parts and "Space Age" plastics and aluminum, the Python was intended to be the finest revolver ever made in America, and it met that goal. At the time, the finest double-action revolvers made were the Colt Officer's Model Match target revolver and the Smith & Wesson Model 27 Magnum. Each was the top quality revolver made by the respective companies. In time, the Python would also be offered in an 8" barrel and a short run of extremely rare 3" barrel versions.
