Colt Python 357 Mag Revolver 4″ Nickel 1967

This 1967-production Colt Python in .357 Magnum is a classic “snake gun” in one of the most desirable configurations: a 4-inch barrel with bright nickel finish and factory walnut target stocks. The mirror-like nickel plating shows off the iconic ventilated rib, full underlug, and finely polished contours that made the Python famous as Colt’s flagship double-action. The original gold-medallion wood grips still have sharp checkering and pair perfectly with the high-polish finish for a timeless, mid-century look.

Serial number 70192 places this revolver firmly in the golden era of Python production, when Colt’s hand-fit actions and tight tolerances were at their peak. Condition is described as “like new,” with only minimal evidence of careful handling and a light turn line. The nickel retains strong luster across the barrel, frame, and cylinder, and all rollmarks remain crisp and legible. Mechanically, these 1960s Pythons are known for a glass-smooth double-action pull and a clean single-action break, making this a superb example for both the serious Colt collector and the enthusiast who appreciates vintage craftsmanship.

Whether you’re filling a key slot in a snake-gun set, looking for a high-end .357 companion for the range, or simply want a truly premium classic revolver that will hold its value, this 4" 1968 nickel Python checks every box.
