The '''Colt Python''' is a [[.357 Magnum]] caliber [[revolver]] manufactured by [[Colt Firearms]], considered as one of the premium [[United States|American]] [[pistol]]s. It is a classic model and along with the [[Colt Peacemaker]], is considered to be one of the finest revolvers ever made by [[Colt]].
This is a double action, large frame handgun chambered for the powerful Magnum cartridge originally developed by [[Smith & Wesson]]. Pythons have a well-deserved reputation for superior fit & finish, accuracy, smooth trigger pull and a tight cylinder lock-up. If there is a downside to all this precision, it is the Python's tendency to go "out of time" with continued heavy shooting. This is a condition in which the cylinder is no longer turning into exact alignment with the forcing cone, so a shooter may be sprayed with tiny bits of shaved [[projectile]] when the gun is fired. When this happens, the lockwork needs to be re-timed.
