Author Martin Dougherty notes the weight of the Python as a drawback, as it is quite heavy for a handgun, ranging from 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) to 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg), which is only slightly lighter than [[Smith & Wesson]]'s model [[S&W Model 29|M29]] .44 Magnum. The S&W M29 with 6½-inch barrel weighs 3.0 lbs (1.36 kg).<ref name="Dougherty, Martin 2005, page 48"/>
