Design and Restoration Details

This Revolver is notable for its professional restoration: the high polish and rebluing were performed by Colt Certified master gunsmiths in The Custom Shop in Montana.

The attention to fit, timing, and finish restores both aesthetic and mechanical integrity.

Performance and Practicality

Barrel Length and Handling

The 2.5-inch barrel is a deliberate compromise — shorter than service-length barrels but long enough to harness solid .357 Magnum performance in a compact package. Expect lively muzzle blast with full-power loads, but controllable recoil for experienced shooters. For those prioritizing concealability and quick presentation, this barrel length is a practical choice.

Caliber Advantages

The .357 Magnum caliber delivers versatile performance: effective stopping power, reliable penetration, and the ability to run lighter .38 Special loads for reduced recoil in practice sessions. For defensive applications or range work, .357 offers a proven balance of energy and manageability in a revolver platform.

Brand pedigree matters: Colt has a storied reputation for durable, well-balanced handguns. This listing — Model: Various — is priced at $5189.99, reflecting the restoration quality and collectibility of a 1977-era Python. View product details and pricing
