The Colt Python .357 Magnum 3-Inch Blued Revolver, Walnut Grips (Colt part no. PYTHON-BP3WTS) is a 3-inch blued Python with walnut grips on the Classic frame. The blued finish, walnut grips and double-action/single-action trigger give it the traditional Python look, with a thicker frame and redesigned rear sight underneath. 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.
