Colt Resurrecting the Python?

I wonder what grips Mas has on his 3-inch Python.

They appear to be Hogue wood monogrips with the no fingergroove option.

If you go to the for sale section, @FrankB is selling a 3” Python with Wilson sights.

I bought his first one. The sight installation was solid. If you want a 3” Python, I highly recommend this deal.

I read somewhere that a 5" Python should be coming. Anyone seen anything to substantiate that rumor?

I'm THIS close to buying a 6" Python, but a 5" would really be nice. So, as is usual, if I buy a 6" now, Colt will announce the 5" in the next 60 days.

There is a 5” Python on the way. Colt’s part number PYTHON-SP5WTS. UPC is 098289003416.

For those interested, the 2.5” Python part and UPC numbers are PYTHON-SP2WCTS and 098289003423 respectively.

Thank you! Now I gotta find a picture to see if I prefer the 5" over the 6" aesthetically.

Oh Man! This might last a few weeks after I buy one.

Thanks to @kilo sierra for their post, #702. I went to Davidson's and found this. https://www.davidsonsinc.com/clt-python-357-da-rev-5-ss

Looks like I'll be holding off buying a Python until I can get a 5". I've been fighting myself over buying a 6" for about 6 months, so a few more months shouldn't be a big deal.

What is the verdict on Pythons:
2.5” vs 3” vs 4.25” ?

Also interested in Anaconda .44 Mag, 4.25” ?

I've got the 3" and the 4". The extra inch of barrel is very noticeable when managing magnum loads and two vents are better looking than one IMO---and looks are probably 80% of the reason anyone gets a Python.

The 3" inch is a good shooter and I've carried it more than I thought I would but it certainly doesn't carry like a 3 inch k frame or even a 3 inch GP100 ( which can use the same holsters). I like both but would keep the 4" if I had to choose.
