Colt faced the challenging task of living up to a legend when it decided to bring back its blued Python revolver—and it appears to have succeeded in spectacular fashion.

Colt Manufacturing Company LLC showed off the reintroduction of its .357 Magnum Python revolver at SHOT Show 2020.

The latest Colt Python is identical to its 3", 4.25" and 6" stablemates other than its 5" barrel. The difference and the magic is in that "in between" barrel length.

In 2020, Colt re-introduced their legendary Python series. After decades out-of-production, the Python 3-inch is back.
