Colt Firearms, the renowned firearms manufacturer, has quietly announced the latest addition to its Python family of revolvers. When I say quietly, I mean little to no information has been released by the company other than a little of the basic information.
From what I can see, the new Python follows the famous snake gun heritage. The newest Python revolver features a 2.5” stainless steel barrel, like other Pythons before it, and is chambered as a .357 Magnum. If it follows the Python line, the revolver theoretically can handle .38 Special cartridges as well. But that isn’t confirmed yet, just conjecture so far.
We will update you when we get more information. But right now, the Colt 2.5” Python .357 Mag revolver has an MSPR listed at $1,499 which is what other revolvers in the Python family are listed at. As you can guess, there is no set word on availability.
