The Umarex Colt Python Part 2

Putting the legendary DA/SA six-gun to the test

By Dennis Adler

The Umarex Colt Pythons are offered in two finishes, a deep flat blue black and nickel (chrome). The Python CO2 airguns rekindle a romance with the Colt double action/single action revolvers that were discontinued for the last time in 2006 with the Python Elite. Previous Python models were discontinued after 1996.

The moment you pick up the Colt Python airgun you have a sense of authenticity in their weight, balance, and very familiar operation. The guns even fit existing Colt Python holsters like the Galco thumb break belt holster shown. With a very modest suggested retail the Pythons are available in a deep matte blued black or nickel (actually chrome) finish with authentic wood grained or black checkered plastic grips. read more

At the top of the order was the Colt Python. Back in the 1950s and well into the late 20th Century, revolvers were king among law enforcement sidearms, and one of the most popular was the Colt Python .357 magnum revolver. read more
