Colt Python 6″ 357 Magnum 6rd Blued – Snake Scale Walnut

The Colt Python 6″ .357 Magnum 6rd Blued – Snake Scale Walnut is a modern reissue of the legendary double-action revolver, built for shooters who demand precision and classic aesthetics. This six-inch blued model wears snake-scale walnut grips that offer both vintage flair and secure handling, with a polished finish and fixed brass-front sights. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it holds six rounds and delivers the tight lockup and smooth trigger pull that made the Python an icon. Per Colt specifications, this revolver is assembled in the USA and represents a faithful update of the original snake gun.

Key Features

• Polished Blued Finish – The deep, mirror-like bluing not only looks stunning on the display table but also provides corrosion resistance for years of range use.
• Snake-Scale Walnut Grips – These checkered walnut panels give you a positive purchase even with sweaty hands, while nodding to the original Python’s distinctive styling.
• 6-Inch Barrel – That extra barrel length wrings out every bit of velocity from .357 Magnum loads, and the full underlug keeps muzzle rise manageable for fast follow-up shots.
• Fixed Brass-Front Sights – The brass bead front and square-notch rear are simple, durable, and quick to acquire – no batteries, no adjustments, just point and shoot.
• Double/Single-Action Trigger – Colt’s leaf-spring system delivers that legendary smooth DA pull and crisp SA break, making it a pleasure to shoot at the range or in competition.

Who It’s For

This revolver is for the collector who wants a modern production Python with the classic look and feel of the original. It’s also for the shooter who appreciates a heavy, well-balanced wheelgun for target work, steel plate matches, or just enjoying a sunny afternoon at the range with a piece of history.

Pros and Cons

• Pro: Authentic Python styling and fit – the action is smooth right out of the box, no gunsmithing needed.
• Pro: Snake-scale grips are both attractive and functional, giving you a solid hold even with hot .357 loads.
• Con: The polished blued finish is beautiful but shows fingerprints and holster wear more than a matte or stainless finish would – keep a microfiber cloth handy.
