The Colt Python .357 Magnum 2.5-Inch Bead-Blasted Stainless Revolver, Hogue Grips (Colt part no. PYTHON-SM2RTS) is a compact 2.5-inch Python finished in bead-blasted stainless steel with black Hogue grips. It pairs a steel frame with a red ramp front sight and an adjustable rear sight, so the short barrel still carries a real sighting system. At this length it is a revolver for concealed carry, home defense and close-range work, where a short barrel keeps it easy to handle and holster. It builds on the Snake Gun legacy that Colt revived with the modern Python, and it ships as a six-round .357 Magnum revolver.

Key Specifications

• Chambered in .357 Magnum, the heavy-hitting revolver cartridge the Python was built around.
• Capacity is six rounds, a full cylinder that suits both range sessions and carry.
• The barrel measures 2.5 inches, a compact length that keeps the revolver easy to carry and holster.
• The finish is bead-blasted stainless steel, a non-reflective surface that wears the day-to-day handling of a carry revolver well.
• The frame is steel, a solid frame that handles the pressure of magnum loads.
• Grips are black Hogue grips, a soft, grippy panel that helps manage recoil from a short barrel.
• The front sight is a red ramp front sight, a bold ramp that is easy to pick up quickly.
• The rear sight is an adjustable rear sight, so point of impact can be set to your load.
• The action is double-action/single-action, so you can fire the revolver with a long, smooth pull or cock the hammer for a precise shot.
• Unloaded weight is about 40 ounces, a heft that tames recoil in a short-barrel magnum.
