In June 1955, Colt’s Mfg. Co.’s new masterpiece, the Python double-action revolver, was first shipped from the Hartford, Conn., factory, beginning a half-century of continuous production.

Since the 2020 re-introduction of the Python revolver, Colt purists clamored for the return of the blued models, and this year, Colt obliged with its blued 4.25" Python revolver.

Colt Manufacturing Company LLC showed off the reintroduction of its .357 Magnum Python revolver at SHOT Show 2020.
