The Colt Python 357 Magnum revolver with 5-inch barrel is one of the most storied wheelguns ever built, and this matte-finished version delivers the legendary Python action in a practical, no-nonsense package. Whether you're a revolver enthusiast, competitive shooter, or looking for a reliable defensive or hunting sidearm, the Python 357 Mag combines Colt's heritage craftsmanship with modern materials and ergonomics that work hard without requiring constant maintenance.
Built on a forged carbon steel frame with a matte blued finish, this Python is engineered to handle real-world use. The one-piece barrel features a ventilated rib and recessed crown—design elements that contribute to shot-to-shot consistency while adding 30% more steel behind the rear sight for durability where it counts. The cylinder is fluted for a classic look and chambers six rounds of 357 Magnum, while remaining fully compatible with 38 Special ammunition, giving you flexibility at the range or in the field.
The trigger experience is what separates a Python from the crowd. A leaf-spring action delivers a smooth, non-stacking trigger pull that feels crisp in both single-action and double-action modes. In double action, expect a break between 7–9.5 pounds—the kind of predictable, glass-smooth release that makes accurate follow-up shots natural. Tritium night sights come standard up front, while the fully adjustable rear sight lets you dial in your load and shooting distance. Hogue OverMolded rubber grips provide secure purchase in all conditions without the slip that comes with wood.
At 43 ounces unloaded and 10.5 inches overall, the Python 357 Mag strikes a balance between pointability and control. This is the Shooter's Model—a product that may exhibit minor finish imperfections from the manufacturing process that don't affect function or durability, and Colt backs it with a one-year warranty.

Yes. The Python's cylinder is chambered for 357 Magnum but is fully compatible with 38 Special cartridges, giving you flexibility with available loads and practice ammunition.
The Python uses a leaf-spring action that produces a smooth, non-stacking trigger break. In double action, you'll feel a pull between 7–9.5 pounds with a crisp release that many shooters describe as glass-smooth—ideal for accurate shooting in both single-action and double-action modes.
The Shooter's Model designation means the firearm is new and fully functional but may have minor finish imperfections from the manufacturing process—typically invisible to the naked eye. These cosmetic marks do not affect durability, accuracy, or reliability, and the revolver is covered by Colt's one-year warranty.
Yes. The 357 Magnum cartridge is effective for hunting medium game and varmints, while the adjustable rear sight, tritium front sight, and smooth action make this Python equally at home on the range. The 5-inch barrel is a practical length for both applications.
