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.

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
