The new Python was only offered in two barrel length however, 4.25" and 6", leading to customer requests for Colt to reintroduce the shorter 3" barreled model as well.

Colt Manufacturing Company LLC showed off the reintroduction of its .357 Magnum Python revolver at SHOT Show 2020.

When Colt re-introduced the Python back in 2020 with a pair of polished stainless-steel models, some questioned whether blued carbon-steel versions would also return.
