The Colt Python .357 Magnum 8-Inch Stainless Revolver, Walnut Grips (Colt part no. PYTHON-SP8WTS) is an 8-inch stainless steel Python with walnut grips and a Colt medallion. The long barrel carries an adjustable rear target sight, a user-interchangeable front sight and a recessed target crown. The long barrel gives a longer sight radius and more weight out front, which suits range sessions and target shooting. It builds on the Snake Gun legacy that Colt revived with the modern Python, and it ships as a six-round .357 Magnum revolver.
