Colt has posted: “Built on a legacy of performance, the Blued Python is a .357 Magnum available in 3″, 4.24″, 5″, 6″ and 8″ barrel configurations, appealing to both collectors and avid shooters. The classic carbon steel Blued Python serves as a passport to a bygone era, where firearms were not just tools but also exquisite works of art. Modern upgrades ensure finely tuned double-action operation that delivers an impressively smooth trigger pull and consistent shot-to-shot reliability.”

“We’re honored the Blued Python is being recognized for what it is – an iconic American revolver,” said Joshua Dorsey, President of Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC. “This NRA award is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of our design and engineering teams, and a nod to shooters who demand reliability, accuracy, and confidence in every trigger pull.”
