Colt Python 357Mag 6 Blued Wood Grip$1,209.38
Availability: In Stock
The Colt Python 357Mag 4.25 Blued revolver with walnut wood grips represents the revival of one of the most legendary wheelguns ever made. This 4.25-inch barrel version splits the difference between compact carry and sighting radius, making it equally at home at the range or in the field. Built on a forged carbon steel frame with a polished blued finish, the Python delivers the precision and feel that made the original a standard-bearer for generations of shooters.
Colt engineered this modern Python with genuinely improved specs over the original: the rear sight now features 30% more material beneath its adjustable target sight, creating a more robust platform for accurate shooting. The one-piece full lug vented rib barrel is finished with a matte surface on top to kill glare, and it terminates in a recessed target crown for consistent accuracy. You get a user-interchangeable front sight (red ramp), so tuning your setup is straightforward. The fluted 6-round cylinder chambers both 357 Magnum and 38 Special, giving you flexibility at the reloading bench or in the field.
The double and single action trigger is tuned to reasonable factory specs—expect 7 to 9.5 pounds in double action—and the walnut target stocks with the gold Colt medallion give the gun a finished, purposeful appearance. At 42 ounces unloaded and 9.75 inches overall, it's a substantial revolver that handles well. These are Shooter's Model examples that may exhibit minor finish imperfections from manufacturing; cosmetics don't affect function or safety.
Whether you're a revolver enthusiast, a handgun hunter, or someone who simply appreciates a finely made wheelgun, the Python 357Mag 4.25 delivers accuracy and reliability without pretense.

Yes. The Python features a user-interchangeable front sight, so you can swap it out to suit your preferences or needs without gunsmithing.
Shooter's Model examples are new in the box but may have minor cosmetic finish imperfections from the manufacturing process that are typically difficult to see without magnification. These cosmetic marks do not affect function, reliability, or safety. They are not covered under Colt's one-year warranty.
The 4.25-inch barrel and 357 Magnum chambering make it capable for hunting medium-sized game. The adjustable target sights and solid accuracy make field use practical, though barrel length and hunting application should align with your specific quarry and local regulations.
