Product Overview

The Colt Python .357 Magnum 6-inch stainless steel revolver in Target configuration brings back one of the most respected wheelguns ever made—and this version is built from the ground up for shooters who prioritize precision and adjustability. If you're a handgun hunter, precision pistol competitor, or serious revolver enthusiast looking for a .357 Magnum that shoots as good as it looks, the Target Python delivers the accuracy and fine-tuning capability you need without compromise.

The foundation here is a full-lug vented rib barrel in polished stainless steel—that design stiffens the barrel and helps manage recoil while the venting reduces mirage and glare during extended range sessions. The redesigned rear sight is both robust and adjustable, letting you dial in your zero and hold it. Up front, you get an interchangeable green fiberoptic target front sight, so you can swap it out if your preferred sight picture changes or if conditions demand a different option. The cylinder is fluted, holds six rounds, and chambers both .357 Magnum and .38 Special—giving you the flexibility to practice with cheaper .38s or step up to full-power .357 loads for hunting or defense.

Cosmetics matter on a gun this good, and the Target Python doesn't skimp. You get a polished stainless steel frame paired with walnut target grips fitted with a silver Colt medallion—purposeful styling that feels substantial in your hand and won't distract from accuracy. This isn't a safe queen; it's a working shooter's revolver designed for the someone who actually uses their tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use .38 Special ammunition in the Colt Python Target revolver?

Yes. The cylinder is chambered for .357 Magnum but accommodates .38 Special cartridges, giving you the option to practice with lower-recoil .38s or use full-power .357 loads depending on your need and preference.

Is the front sight fixed or can it be changed?

The green fiberoptic target front sight is user-interchangeable, allowing you to swap it out if you want a different sight picture or configuration to match your shooting style or lighting conditions.

What type of grips does this revolver come with?

The Target Python features walnut target grips fitted with a silver Colt medallion, designed to provide a solid, controlled grip feel for precision shooting.

Is this revolver suitable for hunting?

Yes. The 6-inch barrel, adjustable sights, and .357 Magnum chambering make it capable for handgun hunting applications where the round's ballistics are appropriate. The adjustable rear sight and interchangeable front sight support precise shot placement at distance.
