The Legend of Colt Python

In 1955, the firearms industry was completely changed when the Colt Python was introduced. Of all the firearms to come out that year, this was the only one with a radically new design. It was a dramatic change from anything Colt had ever done before, despite the fact that its ancestry included the Army Special, a popular .38-caliber DA that had been in the line since 1908. I digress.

The Python was, and is, chambered in .357 Magnum. Now, 357 Magnum had already proven itself as a powerful and dependable round. Plus, it’s far more pleasant to shoot than the .44 Magnum from Smith and Wesson which had come out that same year. However, until WWII, the .357 Magnum had only been offered in the Single Action Army, of which only 525 guns were. Fun fact: when the SAA was reintroduced in 1955, it was in .45 Colt and .38 Special but not in .357 Magnum. I thought that was interesting.

This was Colt’s top-of-the-line model and was originally intended to be a large-frame, .38 Special target revolver. You can see this in the precision adjustable sights, smooth trigger, solid construction, and extra metal. However, since they already had the SAA out, a change was made and it was released in a different caliber. Pythons, you’ll notice, have a distinct appearance due to a full barrel underlug, ventilated rib, and adjustable sights. Another fun fact: Colt initially manufactured Pythons with hollow underlugs but decided to leave them solid so they could work as a stabilizing barrel weight.

The Python was removed from production in 1999, supposedly retired for good. Colt had other ideas. In 2020, a reimagined version of the old classic was brought back to their lineup and has shown to be a massive success.

Colt Python for Sale

If it isn’t obvious, the Python is built on Colt’s legendary Snake Gun legacy. This double-action revolver has returned with a stainless steel barrel, stainless steel alloys, and a re-designed rear sight. There is 30% MORE steel beneath the rear adjustable target sight to give you a stronger revolver and a more robust shooting experience. Factor in a recessed target crown, user-interchangeable front sights, and Walnut grip with the iconic Colt medallion, and you’ll never want to put this down. Truly, this was a revolver designed to be used AND shown off. Like the original, it’s chambered in .357 Magnum, but it does also accommodate .38 Special cartridges. You can even find custom gold-plated Colt Pythons on our site! So, what are you waiting for? Pick up your very own Colt Python from GrabAGun today!

FN High Power–Reimagined

Any gun enthusiast knows about the FN Hi-Power handgun. That piece of history has continued to leave shooters in awe of its simplistic lines and unbeatable power. Now, history is at your fingertips with the reintroduction of the FN High Power. This 9mm handgun is new, improved, and ready for action and the best place to pick one up for yourself is at GrabAGun. We are the premier, online gun store with everything you need from bulk ammo, holsters, magazines, and more. For FN High Power deals, GrabAGun is the only name to trust with guns for sale. Keep reading to learn more about what is probably the best 9mm handgun.

The Best 9mm Handgun for Sale

The original Browning Hi-Power was designed in response to a French military requirement for a new service pistol. This new pistol needed to meet specific requirements including:

Compact size
Magazine capacity of at least 10 rounds
Magazine disconnect device, an external hammer, and a positive safety
Easy to assemble/disassemble
Capable of hitting a target from at least 50-meters

FN commissioned John Browning to design a pistol with these very specifications in mind. Browning already had the rights to the successful M1911, so he had to work around those patents. He created two different prototypes and filled his patent for this new firearm in 1923. The patent wouldn’t be granted for another four years. Of the two prototypes Browning created, a locked-breech design was ultimately the one that was chosen. It became the FN 1935, the one that would be used by both the Axis and Allies during World War II. The 1935 became the military standard for more than 80 years and is still considered one of the best 9mm handguns on the market.

The Gun: FN High Power

The FN High Power was built for the modern handgunner. It reimagines the legendary 1935 FN pistol conceived by John Browning. From NATOs trusted sidearm for more than 80 years to a modern pistol designed for today’s sports shooters, the FN High Power has been enhanced to exceed every expectation. What can you expect with this new firearm?

There have been improvements to the ergonomics and fire control design, shootability, and accuracy, which bests any clone of the original FN Hi-Power. Driftable steel sights allow for the shooter to find a natural point of aim. You’ll experience pinpoint precision thanks to the smooth, single-action trigger. But there’s still more to come. Ambidextrous safety and customizable grips provide comfortable handling for any range day or competition.

At 40-ounces, the robust design keeps the signature rake of the dust cover and long arm slide release, adding ambidextrous controls for instinctive operation. An extended beavertail and raised hammer fit perfectly in hand. The FN High Power takes down instantly for maintenance, deletes the magazine disconnect, and ensures that most modern factory loads feed smoothly over the polished ramp of the cold hammer-forged barrel.

FN High Power vs FN 57

This is different from the FN 57, released back in the 90s. The FN 57 utilizes a groundbreaking design, with improved range and accuracy over common pistol cartridges. Unlike the High-Power, this uses 5.7x28mm ammunition. The chrome-lined cold hammer-forged barrel help with pinpointed accuracy for minimal felt recoil while still maintaining incredible power. This is a fantastic standard issue that cant stand with the FN High Power, no issue.
