Colt Python

The Colt Python is Rick Grimes's main sidearm. It is seen in almost every episode of the The Walking Dead. The Colt Python is a .357 Magnum caliber revolver formerly manufactured by Colt's Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut. It is sometimes referred to as a "Combat Magnum". It was first introduced in 1955, the same year as Smith & Wesson's M29 .44 Magnum. The now discontinued Colt Python targeted the premium revolver market segment. Some firearm collectors and writers have described the Python as the finest production revolver ever made. The Colt suits Rick well due to it's power and authoritative appearance.
