A couple of years ago, Colt made a bold move by resurrecting its iconic revolver, the Colt Python. Since its reintroduction, the Python has not only regained its status but has also become a top-seller for the company. In keeping with the tradition of offering excellence, Colt has now unveiled three new options for the Python, featuring a bead-blasted stainless finish and Hogue Grips.
These new Python models are available in three different barrel lengths: 3 inches, 4.5 inches, and 6 inches, and they sport the brand-new finish and Hogue rubber grips instead of the traditional walnut grips. With the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) set at $1,299 for all of these models, it’s noteworthy that Colt has managed to reduce the price by $200 compared to their original counterparts.
The original Python models boasted a high-polish stainless steel finish and the classic walnut cut checkered grips. The new iterations have replaced these features with the more affordable bead-blasted stainless finish and the comfort of Hogue rubber grips. But even with the reduction in price, the Python is still seen as a premium, somewhat expensive revolver.
However, it’s crucial to recognize that when you invest in a Colt Python, you are not just purchasing a firearm; you are investing in quality and craftsmanship that takes revolvers to the next level. The Colt Python has a rich history of reliability and precision, making it well worth its price point for those who demand the best in their firearms.
The bead-blasted stainless steel finish not only contributes to the Python’s durability but also gives it a sleek, modern appearance. The Hogue rubber grips offer superior ergonomics and control, ensuring a comfortable and steady grip, whether you’re shooting for sport, personal defense, or simply enjoying a day at the range.
The Python’s resurgence and the introduction of these new models with a more accessible price point have generated considerable excitement among firearm enthusiasts. Colt has managed to strike a balance between retaining the Python’s legendary status and making it accessible to a broader range of shooters.
The Colt Python, with its new bead-blasted stainless finish and Hogue grips, represents a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. While it remains a premium option, the price reduction is a welcome change, making the Python even more appealing to discerning firearms enthusiasts. If you’re seeking a revolver that embodies quality, craftsmanship, and a rich heritage, the Colt Python continues to be a standout choice.
