Atlas Collectible Firearms is proud to present this extraordinary 1980 Colt Python, a premier specimen of Hartford’s elite revolver craftsmanship in a highly rare Custom Shop configuration. Chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum, this specialized "Snake Gun" features the commanding 8-inch full-lug barrel. This revolver represents a limited production run tailored for precision hunting and long-range target applications. The visual profile of this Python is exceptional, featuring a deep factory Royal Blue finish that retains a high-mirror luster across all surfaces. As a rare Custom Shop model, the top of the ventilated rib is factory-machined with specialized scope rail cuts, allowing for the direct mounting of optics. Adorning the grip frame is a set of premium black rubber target stocks featuring gold Colt medallions. Every marking remains factory-sharp, including the "PYTHON HUNTER" branding on the barrel and the iconic Rampant Colt on the sideplate. This Colt is in collector-grade condition, showing only minor signs of handling and use consistent with a well-preserved investment arm. The mechanical action is bank-vault tight with the legendary Python "smooth-as-silk" trigger pull, and the bore is in perfect condition with sharp, clean rifling. This package includes the period-correct wood-grain style Colt factory box (which does not have an end label), the original owner’s manual, a Colt welcome letter, and a yellow factory warning hang-tag. As an 8-inch variant with factory scope rail provisions, this Python stands as a premier acquisition for the advanced Colt collector.
