I knew they were going to bring it back eventually... $1499 seems to be on the inexpensive side for a revolver of that stature, which suggests they've completely redesigned the action to make it modern production line compatible.
The question is: will it live up to reputation of its namesake predecessors? The new Cobra and King Cobra did not in my opinion.

If it is as good, and true to the original, as the web-site pictures appear; KUDOS to Colt !!

Now maybe Colt Python owners/ sellers will stop thinking and handling their guns like rare museum pieces.

I guess this is a marketing maneuver, however this new python appears to be awesome!!!!

I'm hitting the stores tomorrow. Will buy both lengths if I can. There is a lot of excitement about the new Python. S&W can capture some excitement too if they would get rid of the locks on their revolvers. As of now, I am buying Colts.
It does look good and priced reasonably. I wonder if it’s reworked internally to be put together by basic assembly line or a craftsman. I haven’t found much information on how newer colts are made though and wonder if you’re just buying a name. I still like that they are bringing it back though. I’ve never had a colt revolver and the old ones I’ve handled were pretty wore and loose. None were pythons though. The prices I’ve seen on the new cobras locally seemed pretty high to me. Still I’d like to try and get one. Maybe.
Well, I'll have to see one in person of course, but I think I want one. I like the new Cobra I've got well enough that's it's my EDC now.
I had a Python a few years ago, back when you could buy one for less than a grand, and I liked it. I don't know if it was any better than anything else, but then I didn't expect it to be. I just wanted a Python. Then like a lot of other guns I had I had to sell it when I was out of work for a couple of years. I never thought I'd get another one.
Maybe now I will.

I definitely think the new Colt's are great . I only have one Colt , an old model trooper 357 , before the MK III's . I really like the looks of the new King Cobra and am really happy to see the Python being made again . I'm a Smith guy , but can enjoy Colts as well . That 3" King Cobra has really caught my eye . People moan and groan about , " well it's not like the old Colts " . Maybe that is a good thing ! Regards, Paul
So will it feel like an original Python or not? Looks great! From reviews, sounds great! Likely same song and dance from Colt folks as w/ us S&W folks regarding old/new, changes, etc. Reality, looks like Colt has made a very good move. Looked at several of the new Colt revolvers yesterday afternoon. There is a whole lot to like about them! Same stacking DA trigger as always. SA trigger was very nice. Expect that the mechanics will be more durable than was the case with older Colts. As good ... better? We'll see! We'll see!. Sincerely. bruce.

A better Snake
Wow! Thank you for the Videos explaining the New Reintroduced
Colt Python 357Magnum. Maybe I should start saying
"New Shootable Upgraded Python 357Mag"
Sounds like Colt listened to their Customers and also
applied the new manufacturing technics to make a
better Python.
This New Python sounds better, it is more what I would
like to purchase, and is at a price point I can easily afford.
I won't have to look at those High Priced Museum Pieces
any more. Out with the Old in with the New, only in America.
I will have to see how this plays out. This is Great for
Revolver Connoisseur's.
Thank you Colt! I'm impressed so far.
I will of course keep my Time Tested S&W 686

This is where I'm at also. Ball is in their court and the game is theirs to loose.

I'm looking forward to seeing one in person.
I've had Pythons over the years and traded them away when they brought 2 to 3 times what I paid for them. I kept one NIB example and it remains unfired.
I haven't bought a new revolver (as in current production) in years, but if this one is as good in person as the hype, I'm a buyer.
And it's gonna' get shot, not put up as a safe queen!

Well............................. have to "try" the trigger.
Like Hackathorn's review
Would like to see one up close and personal.
Stainless......
Might give my 681,686s and 586s a run for their money.

).I think that I'm in, but will wait until the buyer premium has passed. Wonder if this will effect current Python prices.

I believe it will. I know a lot of old guard Colt fans, will be shaking their fists at the sky and yelling it wont because they are so heavily invested in them but I think the reality is that they are going to slide down to mere mortal mans pricing
ETA: it has been speculated for the last decade that the python market was overinflated and going to pop at some point. This may bring it on

A python that doesn't stack?
That was always the Achille's heel for me.
