Colt Python Shooter s Model Features The Colt Python is built on a robust stainless steel frame with a bead blast matte finish delivering the corrosion resistance and durability of stainless construction in a low-reflectivity field-ready package suited to hunting and sustained range use. The leaf spring action produces a non-stacking smooth-as-glass trigger pull in both double- and single-action modes with a double-action pull of 7 to 9.5 lbs for reliable deployment across defensive and field applications. The 8 barrel with 1:14 left-hand twist six-groove rifling delivers the maximum sight radius in the Python lineup supporting the most precise aiming for long-range handgun and hunting work. The Colt Python features recoil-absorbing interchangeable Hogue OverMolded rubber grips that manage the substantial recoil impulse of full-power .357 Magnum loads and maintain positive hand purchase through extended range and field sessions. A user-interchangeable red ramp front sight and fully adjustable target rear sight allow precise zeroing for windage and elevation across both .357 Magnum and .38 Special loads in varied field and range conditions. At 51 oz. and 13.5 overall length this 8 Python provides commanding weight and balance that promotes steady hold and effective recoil management for deliberate precision fire. As a Colt Shooter s Model this Python is a 100% new-in-box firearm that may exhibit a slight finish imperfection originating during the manufacturing process typically imperceptible without a trained eye or magnification.
