This Colt Python is a 1992 production example in .357 Magnum with the 6-inch barrel, stainless steel throughout and checkered walnut grips. It is a used revolver, and the metal carries light marks across both the barrel and the frame; the supplier rates the overall condition as very good. The serial number is KT9430.

A 6-inch stainless Python is a range and collector revolver rather than a carry piece, and that is how most New Jersey owners will use it. Each handgun in the state needs its own Permit to Purchase, applied for at 21 through the NJSP online system to your local police department and good for 90 days with one automatic 90-day renewal, so start that paperwork early if this is the Python you have been waiting for. The state also limits you to one handgun purchase every 30 days unless you hold an exemption.
