Colt Python RSP2TS .357 Magnum 2.5" Round Butt Stainless Davidson’s Exclusive

Colt Python RSP2TS .357 Magnum 2.5" Round Butt Stainless Davidson’s Exclusive

One of Colt’s most recognizable revolvers gets an especially eye-catching compact treatment with the Colt Python RSP2TS Davidson’s Exclusive. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this special-production Python combines the unmistakable styling of Colt’s legendary Snake Gun with a short 2½-inch barrel, round-butt grip frame, handsome walnut stocks, and semi-bright stainless steel finish.

The RSP2TS is a particularly distinctive addition to the modern Python family. Developed as a Davidson’s exclusive, this configuration introduced the first round-butt grip frame and the only 2½-inch barrel offered in the current Python line, giving the revolver a compact, muscular profile that immediately separates it from the more familiar longer-barreled Python models.

The revolver is fitted with attractive finger-grooved walnut round-butt grips accented by traditional gold Colt medallions. Against the semi-bright stainless steel frame and barrel, the walnut provides the classic upscale appearance that has long helped make the Python one of Colt’s most desirable revolvers.

Colt retains the Python’s famous full-lug, ventilated-rib barrel styling while shortening the package to just 2½ inches. Sight equipment consists of a red-ramp front sight paired with an adjustable square-notch rear sight, combining traditional revolver styling with a practical adjustable sight picture. Davidson’s lists the revolver with a 3.5-pound single-action trigger pull. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
