In June 1955, Colt�s Mfg. Co.�s new masterpiece, the Python double-action revolver, was first shipped from the Hartford, Conn., factory, beginning a half-century of continuous production. Colt�s factory superintendent, Adalbert (Al) Gunther, was heavily involved in the design of what was to become the company�s flagship double-action revolver. It started in 1953 when Bill Henry, Colt�s head salesman, came to Gunther with the idea for a new precision target revolver. Colt had no budget for experimental guns at the time, so the prototype was made from existing parts and from raw steel, which was machined and welded as needed.

There are many citizens among us who value this right yet are hesitant to exercise it because they�re timid about carrying.
