The Colt Python 357Mag 8 Ss Wood Grips is a modern revival of one of America's most iconic double-action revolvers, now built on stainless steel with an extended 8-inch barrel. If you're a revolver enthusiast, long-range handgun shooter, or collector who values both performance and aesthetics, this Python delivers the accuracy and durability that made the original a legend among serious shooters and law enforcement.
Colt expanded the classic Snake Gun legacy with a longer sight radius and barrel that transforms the Python into a formidable target and hunting revolver. The 8-inch barrel chambered in .357 Magnum (also fires .38 Special) gives you velocity and stability on the range or in the field. The semi-bright stainless steel finish resists corrosion while maintaining that timeless look—a gun built to be shot hard and shown proudly.
The redesigned rear sight gets 30% more steel backing for a stronger, more robust revolver. You get a recessed target crown with a user-interchangeable red ramp front sight, letting you tune your setup to your needs. The walnut target grips with the iconic Colt medallion feel substantial in hand and won't fatigue you during extended shooting sessions. With adjustable windage and elevation on the rear sight and a smooth double-action trigger, this Python is purpose-built for accuracy-focused shooting.
This is a Shooter's Model—new in the box but may have a minor finish imperfection from manufacturing that's barely visible without close inspection. It's a practical choice if you want a legendary revolver without paying collector premiums for flawless examples.

Yes. The Python is chambered in .357 Magnum but freely accepts .38 Special ammunition as well, giving you flexibility for practice, reduced recoil, or lower-velocity shooting.
This is a new-in-box revolver that may have a minor finish imperfection from the manufacturing process—typically invisible without magnification or a trained eye. It's a practical option if you plan to shoot and use the gun rather than preserve it in pristine collector condition. The one-year Colt warranty does not cover these minor cosmetic imperfections.
The 8-inch barrel, adjustable rear target sight, and .357 Magnum chambering make this an excellent choice for handgun hunters and range shooters seeking accuracy and velocity. The longer sight radius and robust construction support precision shooting at distance.
The rear target sight is adjustable for windage and elevation, allowing you to fine-tune your zero. The front sight is a red ramp design that is user-interchangeable, so you can swap it if desired to match your setup or preferences.
