Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Colt introduced the Python revolver in 1955: the same year Smith & Wesson introduced their own iconic Model 29 in .44 magnum: the 1950’s were a wonderful time for American cars and revolvers it seems. While many a Smith & Wessons was returned barely used, the Python offered a “magnum” that could be fired without flinch inducing trauma. Production ceased in 1999 with only custom orders available until 2005 when the last, the 50th anniversary, was turned out supposedly engraved with an effusion of gold inlay. The Python was, from its theoretical inception, designed to be a .38 Special, heavy-duty service or target revolver on Colt’s I-frame, like the Trooper (1953-1985). Thankfully, someone decided with all the weight (almost 3 pounds) going into it, to up the caliber to .357 Magnum. It could still serve as a .38 target revolver but also could be used for hunting, law enforcement (which is what the magnum cartridge was initially designed for in 1934) and even the military – Python’s first pseudonym was the “Combat Magnum.” In a discomforting acceptance of size matters, its versatility is limited only by the choice of barrel lengths: 2.5”, 3”, 4”, 6” and 8.” Other than that, every Python had the same level of custom hand fitting and finish.
