Colt Resurrecting the Python?

[Wondering Beard]

I would honestly never have expected blue carbon steel. Lord knows what the price will be, but Colt seems to have delivered the holy grail here. That said, three small vents on the 4.25 rib is... strange.

Their current 4" stainless guns have 2. I wonder if that's a prototype oopsie.

One can hope.

I believe it's a 5 inch barrel rather than a 4". In an image search for the 5", all I see is the three vents barrel.

Like this from the 1911 forum:

I already have the back up he used.

What was that?

No, it's definitely a 4.25 with three vents. I had the same thought but found the specific reference.

Detective Special. Makes sense.

Is @FrankB starting a waiting list for his blue Pythons?

I’ve had a 2.5” Python in my shopping cart a dozen times since they became available, but my 2.5” 868+ keeps saying “No”. The blue 2.5” Python was John Wayne’s first backup gun in McQ, so it’s got that going for it. To further complicate matters, I’m still struggling with the idea of converting an 6” M19 into a 2.5”. I have the parts compiled, but…🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼

When Hal Holbrook’s car blew up, I was mourning the poor Python.

I really hope they release a 2.5 inch blued version so I can finally get the Michael Douglass Black rain gun. I already have the back up he used.

VERY underrated Movie!...And I LOVED Gregg Allman's contribution to the Soundtrack...
