The Colt Python Matte Blued is a premium, compact medium-frame double-action/single-action (DA/SA) revolver that pairs Colt's legendary Snake Gun ergonomics with a utilitarian, non-reflective finish. Chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum (and fully compatible with lower-recoil .38 Special and .38 Special +P ammunition), this wheelgun features a 6-round capacity fluted cylinder. The firearm is constructed from forged carbon steel treated with a rugged matte blued finish that resists glare, hides fingerprints, and is highly practical for defensive carry. This specific variant is defined by its short 2.5-inch barrel, complete with the Python's signature single ventilated top rib, a full-length underlug, and a protective recessed target crown.
