Frequently Asked Questions
Colt Python for sale
How much are Colt Pythons worth?
Colt Pythons vary widely in price. New models average around $1,579, while used examples average around $1,358. However, the broader market ranges from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, and vintage or first-year production models can sell for $25,000 or higher. Current production MSRPs run $1,499 to $1,699.
Do they still make Colt Python 357 Magnum?
Yes, Colt currently manufactures the Python .357 Magnum revolver. It was reintroduced in 2020 after a long hiatus. Available barrel lengths include 3, 4.25, and 6 inches, in double-action/single-action configuration. Prices typically run around $1,400–$1,500 at most retailers.
Is the Colt Python worth the money?
The current production Python costs around $1,400–$1,500 and offers excellent accuracy, smooth action, and reliable performance in .357 Magnum. For serious revolver shooters wanting a quality American-made gun, most owners consider it worth the price. Budget-focused buyers may prefer less expensive alternatives.
What are common Colt Python .357 problems?
Reported issues with current Pythons include cylinder misalignment, light primer strikes, and trigger lockup under load. Some owners report timing problems and action wear. Colt has acknowledged these concerns, and most issues are addressable through proper maintenance or factory service.
What is the best year for a Colt Python?
Collectors generally prize 1955–early 1960s Pythons for their superior hand-polishing and hollow-lug barrels. The 1970s models are also well-regarded. Current production Pythons offer modern reliability and easier serviceability. Your best choice depends on budget, intended use, and whether vintage character or contemporary performance matters more to you.
Can I lookup a Colt serial number online?
Yes. Colt's Manufacturing Company offers a free serial number lookup on their website. Enter your number without spaces or dashes to find the model and approximate manufacture year. For definitive documentation, contact Colt Archive Properties, LLC directly.
What is the rarest Colt in Python?
Factory engraved Pythons rank among the rarest, as Colt produced them only to order, typically in single units. The California Combat Python, with roughly 200 manufactured, is also highly scarce. Vintage 3-inch barrel models with factory letters command premium collector prices.
Can I conceal carry a Colt Python?
Yes, you can conceal carry a Python. The 3-inch barrel model is most practical for concealment. Many carriers use shoulder or inside-waistband holsters. However, Pythons are expensive; some prefer carrying less costly firearms to avoid potential confiscation during legal proceedings.
