Wikipedia: The Colt Python is a double action revolver chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge. It was first introduced in 1955 by the Colt's Manufacturing Company.

Pythons have a reputation for accuracy, smooth trigger pull, and a tight cylinder lock-up. Pythons, built on Colt's large I-frame, are similar in size and function to the Colt Trooper and Colt Lawman revolvers.

The Colt Python is intended for the premium revolver market segment. Official Colt historian R.L. Wilson described the Colt Python as "the Rolls-Royce of Colt revolvers",and firearms historian Ian V. Hogg referred to it as the "best revolver in the world". Some firearm collectors and writers such as Jeff Cooper and Ian V. Hogg have described the Python as "the finest production revolver ever made"

The Revolver is a six-shot pistol. It is Alan Wake's first acquired weapon, found in the lumberyard and used for self-defense. The model appears to be a Colt Python with a 4-inch barrel. It is the most common firearm wielded in the game. In Alan Wake's American Nightmare when you pick up the revolver at the oil field, Wake will state "Can't go wrong with the classic". The achievement The Six-Gun Scribe is earned for killing 100 Taken with the revolver.
