The Colt Python PYTHON-SP8WTS pairs the legendary Python design with an imposing 8-inch barrel, forged stainless-steel construction, and classic walnut grips. Chambered in .357 Magnum and capable of firing .38 Special ammunition, this six-shot revolver is designed for shooters who appreciate excellent balance, an extended sight radius, and the substantial feel of a full-size Colt revolver.
The ventilated-rib barrel features a full-length underlug that adds forward weight for steadier handling and reduced muzzle rise. A red-ramp front sight and adjustable rear sight provide a clear, customizable sight picture. Its double-action/single-action mechanism allows either a traditional double-action first shot or precise single-action shooting.
Finished in semi-bright stainless steel, the 8-inch Colt Python delivers unmistakable styling for target shooting, hunting applications, and serious Colt collections.
