When we last reviewed the ColtPython, we primarily showed its longer-barreled variant. This week, we're taking a closer look at its smaller sibling. Chambered in the tried-and-true .357 Magnum, this revolver is a solid performer in the deer woods. With a more manageable 4.25-inch barrel, this Python is as at home in the woods as it is riding on your hip. For more on this classic wheelgun, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Editor in Chief Scott Olmsted and Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $1,499.00

But the offspring of that cartridge—as well as those cartridges which were “highly inspired” by the .404 Jeffery—have gotten much more of the spotlight than the .404 ever did.
