Few revolvers turn heads at the range like a blued Python, and Colt finally brought it back after years of shooters asking for it. This 6-inch model wears a deep polished blue over a forged carbon steel frame, set off by checkered walnut target grips with the gold Colt medallion. It is chambered in .357 Magnum and happily runs .38 Special too, which makes range days a lot easier on your hands and your ammo shelf.
The 6-inch barrel is the classic Python configuration for a reason. The full underlug and one-piece vent rib put weight out front where it soaks up magnum recoil, and the longer sight radius makes precise shots come easier. A recessed target crown protects the rifling, and the sights are set up for real work: an adjustable target rear with 30 percent more steel beneath it than earlier Pythons, plus a user-interchangeable front sight so you can run what suits your eyes. The action is where Colt earned its reputation. The double-action pull rolls through smooth and even, and single action breaks clean for deliberate target work.
At roughly 46 ounces, this is a substantial revolver, and that heft is exactly what you want when you touch off full-power .357 loads. It settles right back on target instead of jumping around. Plenty of folks will buy this one as the centerpiece of a collection, and it certainly earns that spot, but the modern Python is stronger than the originals and built to be shot. Target matches, steel plates, woods carry, handgun hunting with the right loads, it handles all of it.
The Python name has carried weight since the 1950s, and this blued version is the closest thing yet to the classic everyone grew up wanting. If you have been waiting for the right one, a 6-inch blue Python with walnut grips is about as right as it gets.
Yes. Like any .357 Magnum revolver, the Python safely fires .38 Special from the same cylinder. A lot of owners run affordable .38 loads for practice and save the full-house magnums for hunting, defense, or when they want the full experience. The gun's 46-ounce weight keeps even hot .357 loads very manageable.
The blued models are built on a forged carbon steel frame with a carbon steel barrel, which is what allows for that deep hot salt blue finish. Colt's stainless Pythons are a separate line. The carbon steel version needs a little more routine wipe-down care than stainless, but that finish is worth it.
The modern Python keeps the classic lines, vent rib barrel, and walnut grips, but it is built with updated steel and a redesigned rear sight area with about 30 percent more material beneath it for added strength. The action was also reworked for consistency and durability. It is a stronger revolver than the originals and made to be shot regularly, not just admired.
Yes, the front sight is user-interchangeable, so you can swap it for a different style if the factory sight does not suit your eyes or your use. The rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation, making it easy to dial in your preferred load.
