FINALLY! A new 3 inch 357 revolver with everything you need and nothing you don't!

Thanks Colt! Regards 18DAI

That should be a great addition to the Python line...3" older Pythons are MUCHO expensive, if you can find one.

I will definitely be keeping an eye out for one.

But I will not pay over MSRP for one so it might be a while before I get one.

Colt won’t be able to run the lines quickly enough to keep up with demand. They should start running now 24/7/365 to get a head start.

Coming to America

A new Ceska Zbrojovka (CZ/Colt) Python 357Rem Mag
3” barrel is fantastic news. A good sign from CZ.

Only in America can a Foreign Company take over an
Iconic American company and turn it around.

Hope more Single Action Army’s are coming to
market too.

Nice to see, but a new .38/.357 3" Diamondback would be a much better carry gun, and would offer the same pleasing aesthetics.

Colt has announced a new 3 inch Python for 2022.

Shouldn't it be called a Colt Garter Snake, if it's only 3 inches?

I’ll definitely be checking it out in a few weeks at SHOT; hopefully shooting one at media day. That said, I’d prefer a 2.5”.

Nice if they would do it in blue as well as, or rather than, stainless. Can't have everything I guess.

Depending on how nice these are I might have to look into selling my new King Cobra...

 

[Beemerguy53]

I can't wait to snag one of those!

Interesting news, guess that means that Colt, under CZ ownership, will continue to produce revolvers. Colt will now have Pythons in 3, 4.25, and 6 inch barrel lengths. That's a good range for the big Colt revolver.

 

[muzzleblast]

3" Python = Grail gun. IMHO.

 

[Shark Bait]

Maybe a 4 inch Anaconda is in the works too

When they first hit the gunstores and on line auctions, get ready to pay at least $400-$500 over retail and probably more. I refuse to pay over retail. They did it with the new Python when first available and will do so again with this new barrel length. Will have to wait 6 months or more before they come down close to retail. Pythons are nice guns and I have had several over the years but I believe a 686 is much better.

Outstanding

The trick to marketing is not to make too many to fast and keep the customers looking and talking about the excitement of the hunt and the find.

 

[Just another 22 shooter]

Shouldn't it be called a Colt Garter Snake, if it's only 3 inches?

No, it should be a Bull Snake; smaller than a Python, but still a constrictor.

 

[murphydog]

CZ/Colt will quickly sell every one they can make for the foreseeable future. But getting one at MSRP will take a year (or more) after they hit the shelves.

Has Colt actually announced this gun? I don’t see it on their site.

I have seen the photos of two 3” guns from their Custom Shop with patridge sights on another forum. They were done as a special deal for someone. They weren’t production guns.

I’d love to see a link to an actual announcement.
