Key Features and Unique Attributes

• Barrel and Caliber
  • 5-inch barrel, a rare and highly sought-after length that strikes a balance between the 4.25" and 6" models, offering an ideal mix of sight radius, handling, and aesthetics.
  • Chambered for .357 Magnum and also compatible with .38 Special, including +P loads.
• Finish
  • Bead-blasted stainless steel finish gives the revolver a matte, non-reflective appearance. This is a departure from the traditional high-polish stainless seen on most Pythons, making it less prone to glare and fingerprints, and well-suited for field or working use, offering a unique aesthetic appreciated by those seeking a practical, utilitarian look.
• Grips
  • Factory-equipped with Hogue black rubber grips, providing a secure and comfortable hold, especially under recoil for enhanced ergonomics and control.
  • The grip choice is functional, catering to users who prioritize shooting comfort and control over classic styling.
• Sights
  • Red ramp front sight for high visibility and quick target acquisition.
  • Fully adjustable rear sight, allowing precise windage and elevation adjustments for both defensive and target shooting applications.
• Action and Trigger
  • Double-action/single-action operation, maintaining the Python’s reputation for a smooth, consistent trigger pull.
  • Incorporates Colt’s LL2 trigger system, which is designed for improved reliability and a crisp break.
• Construction and Dimensions
  • All stainless steel frame and barrel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Six-round capacity.
  • Weight: approximately 43 oz, providing enough heft for stability during firing without being unwieldy.
  • Overall length: 10.5 inches.
  • Rate of twist: 1-in-14", optimizing performance with a range of bullet weights.

Special and Unique Features of the SM5RTS, Model D

• Bead-Blasted Finish: Unique among Python models, the bead-blasted stainless finish is less flashy, more utilitarian, and appeals to users looking for a practical revolver that can withstand field use without showing wear as quickly as polished surfaces.
• 5-Inch Barrel: This intermediate length is exclusive and not as widely available as the 4.25" or 6" barrels, offering a "just right" balance for many shooters.
• Hogue Grips: Factory-issued rubber grips prioritize function, making the revolver more comfortable for extended shooting sessions and heavy .357 Magnum loads.
• Red Ramp/Adjustable Sights: Enhanced sighting system for both fast acquisition and precision work.
• LL2 Trigger System: Modernized internals for improved trigger feel and reliability.
• The Colt Python SM5RTS, Model D, stands out for its bead-blasted stainless finish, rare 5-inch barrel, and practical Hogue grips.
