Manufacturer: Colt
Caliber: .357 Mag
Model/Size: Python 4 in.
Finish: Blued
Condition: Pre-Owned
Box/Papers: Yes
The Colt Python has long been regarded as one of the finest and most iconic double-action revolvers ever produced by Colt. Introduced in 1955, the Python was built as a premium revolver, combining Colt's traditional craftsmanship with a precision-oriented action and distinctive ventilated-rib barrel.
This 1966-production Colt Python, fitted with the highly desirable 4-inch barrel, represents an early example from the revolver's classic era of production. The 4-inch configuration offers the Python's unmistakable profile in a somewhat more compact and balanced package than the longer-barreled examples, while retaining the characteristics for which the model became famous.
The Python features Colt's signature ventilated barrel rib and full-length ejector housing, adjustable rear sight, and ramp-style front sight. Its carefully fitted action, smooth double-action pull, and crisp single-action trigger were hallmarks of the Python's premium construction. The revolver's distinctive lines, polished blue finish, and finely machined components established the Python as much more than a conventional service revolver—it was marketed and built as a luxury-grade handgun.
Early Pythons such as this 1966 example are particularly appealing to collectors because they date from the period when Colt's revolver craftsmanship was at its height. The original-production Pythons are highly sought after for their traditional Colt workmanship, classic configuration, and historical significance.
The 4-inch Python remains one of the most recognizable configurations of the model and is especially desirable among collectors who appreciate the balance of the shorter barrel with the Python's unmistakable proportions.
A well-preserved 1966 Colt Python, particularly one retaining its original configuration and finish, matching numbered box as well as manual, test target and tools that accompanied it originally, make it all the more collectible and represents an important piece of Colt's classic double-action revolver history and American firearms craftsmanship.
Condition is very good, as illustrated in the photographs to the left and to view them in ultra-high-resolution click on the link directly below them. The revolver ships in a Colt gun rug with everything pictured, including the original numbered factory cardboard box, factory test target, instruction manual, warranty card, and Colt sight-adjustment screwdriver/tool.
