Colt Pythons

I am sure that if some company or agency wanted a 5", Colt would have made it.......just wasn't cataloged. A factory letter would be interesting to learn about it.

Not sure you could.
1-1/2'' and 3'' guns both have one groove cut in the barrel.
4'' have 2. 6'' have 3. How would you make a 5''?

Unfortunately, the last Colt Factory Letter I asked about would have been $225.00 which is way too much. At least, for my "Gun Budget".

Same as a 4" I guess.

I purchased this 6 inch stainless for a bit over $800 15 or so years ago... I thought it was a hefty sum, in those days...

They were never cheep........always considerably more than a good Smith but worth it. Nice looking gun, the last 6 inch revolver I had was a very early M66 that I bought new, everything since has been a 4".......
