Colt Python .357 Magnum Revolver 1981 8" Blue

This Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver, manufactured in 1981, is a classic example of Colt’s legendary “Snake Gun” line, renowned for exceptional craftsmanship, accuracy, and smooth double-action performance. Featuring a deep blued finish, original checkered walnut grips with gold Colt medallions, and an 8-inch vent-rib barrel, this revolver is equally suited for target shooting, hunting, or collecting.

This example remains in very good overall condition, retaining approximately 90% of its original finish with some scattered handling marks. It shows signs of regular but careful use, with a clean bore and tight cylinder lockup. The original grips remain attractive with crisp checkering, though the finish shows some minor cracking. The revolver comes with its original Colt factory box, which has edge wear and a missing end tab, adding authenticity for collectors.

A well-maintained, early-’80s Python like this offers both collector value and practical shooting enjoyment—an ideal addition for enthusiasts who appreciate Colt’s finest revolver design.
