The Colt Python in bright nickel finish represents the Python at its most visually striking — the reflective nickel plate over the Python's machined and polished steel created a showpiece revolver. Nickel-finish Pythons were ordered by both law enforcement agencies and civilians seeking the ultimate presentation revolver. Mechanically identical to blued examples, the nickel finish adds a layer of visual drama that has made nickel Pythons especially sought in the collector market.
