It’s finally back – the new Colt Python will make its debut in 2020. The return of one of the ultimate American wheelguns has been eagerly anticipated since the re-release of the Colt snake series began a few years ago.
With production spanning nearly half a century and ending in 1999, the original Python is a highly sought after piece by collectors. This new revolver boasts modern alloys, a stronger frame and redesigned sights. Still, the new model Python has big shoes to fill – revolver lovers rave over the original’s perfect trigger and awesome accuracy. And while purists will never be able to accept a comparison with the original classic, Colt’s recent track record with new snake guns has been very positive.
I’m sure we’ll be able to go hands-on at the 2020 SHOT Show and give you our initial impressions. Details, specifications and links can be found below.

Wheelgun Wednesday: The Return Of The New Colt Python
The Colt Python is back.
Building on Colt’s Snake Gun legacy, the legendary double-action revolver returns in stainless steel in 4.25” and 6” barrel lengths. The 2020 Python features modern stainless steel alloys and a re-designed rear sight. Thirty percent more steel beneath the rear adjustable target sight gives you a stronger revolver and more robust shooting experience. A recessed target crown, user-interchangeable front sight, and Walnut grip with the iconic Colt medallion make this a gun you’ll want to shoot AND show off. The Python is chambered in .357 Magnum and also accommodates 38 Special cartridges.
