The tried-and-true design has evolved, adapting to changing needs and incorporating modern manufacturing to maintain its reliability and effectiveness. While the new Blued Pythons are true to the original in many ways, they also include these modern upgrades, making them even better!

A Blued Python has been the number one request ever since Colt launched the new Python in stainless only four short years ago.

“The classic carbon steeled Blued Python serves as a passport to a bygone era, where firearms were not just tools but also exquisite works of art.” – Justin Baldini, Vice President of Marketing

The Python is a 357 Magnum, double-action revolver. The initial barrel lengths offered on this new Blued Python are 4.25” and 6”. This revolver features a target adjustable rear sight, as well as a user-replaceable front sight, using a set screw for retention. This gun has the updated action with its stainless cousin. The refined action has proven to be extremely robust and requires no hand-fitting, for a consistent trigger-pull. The Walnut Grips have been updated with a Gold Medallion, as is historically color correct for a Blued Python. The tried-and-true Blued Python has evolved, adapting to changing needs and incorporating modern manufacturing to maintain its reliability and effectiveness.

Colt has shipped just over a thousand Blued Pythons already in anticipation of the SHOT Show launch and continues to make more every single day. The new Pythons boast an MSRP of $1,599.
