We like this configuration for shooters who want the Python platform in a shorter barrel length with target-oriented details. The recessed crown and vent rib are specific design features, while the walnut stocks add a traditional touch to the stainless construction. At 42 ounces, the revolver has a substantial listed weight for its compact barrel configuration. The Colt Python brings those choices together in one clearly specified revolver.
