The Colt Python Combat Elite PYTHON-SP3NS combines the refined performance of Colt’s legendary Python with a compact 3-inch barrel and purpose-driven upgrades. Chambered in .357 Magnum and compatible with .38 Special ammunition, this six-shot revolver offers a versatile combination of power, manageable dimensions, and premium construction.
Unlike the traditional fluted Python cylinder, the Combat Elite features a distinctive unfluted stainless-steel cylinder. Its front night sight provides improved visibility in reduced-light environments and pairs with an adjustable rear sight for precise point-of-impact corrections. The recessed target crown helps protect the rifling at the muzzle.
Textured gray G10 grips provide a secure hold and include Colt medallions for a distinctive finishing touch. The double-action/single-action mechanism allows a smooth double-action trigger pull or a lighter single-action pull for deliberate shooting.
