The Colt Python Combat Elite .357 Magnum 3-Inch Stainless Revolver, Fixed Night Sights, G10 Grips (Colt part no. PYTHON-SP3NS) is a 3-inch stainless Python Combat Elite with fixed night sights and G10 grips. The fixed night sights and G10 grips are what set the Combat Elite apart from the standard walnut-grip Pythons. 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.
