The Colt Python .357 Magnum 3-Inch Bead-Blasted Stainless Revolver, Hogue Grips (Colt part no. PYTHON-SM3RTS) is a 3-inch Python finished in bead-blasted stainless steel with Hogue grips. The stainless Python pairs a red ramp front sight with an adjustable rear sight, a recessed target crown and a user-interchangeable front sight. 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 3 inches, a compact length that keeps the revolver easy to carry and holster.
• The finish is bead-blasted stainless steel, a matte surface that cuts glare and hides handling marks.
• Grips are Hogue grips, a grippy panel that helps control recoil.
• The front sight is a red ramp front sight, an easy-to-find sight picture.
• The rear sight is an adjustable rear sight, with thirty percent more steel beneath it for a stronger revolver.
• The muzzle has a recessed target crown, which protects the muzzle where accuracy is decided.
• Unloaded weight is about 42 ounces, enough weight to soften recoil.
• Trigger pull is listed at 8 pounds in double action and 3.5 pounds in single action, so the cocked-hammer shot is far lighter than the long pull.
