About the Real Gun
In the 1970s, most Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolvers lacked a full underlug barrel. Meanwhile, Colt’s Python stood out with its heavy underlug, which reduced muzzle rise, and its strong rifling twist that enhanced bullet stability and accuracy. Although the Python offered exceptional smoothness in trigger pull, some shooters found it harder to predict the exact hammer break.
Competitive shooters and gunsmiths soon envisioned a hybrid that combined the strengths of both platforms—S&W’s crisp trigger control with the Python’s barrel performance. This concept gave birth to the custom “Smolt,” most famously crafted by California gunsmith Bill Davis. Early examples featuring an ejector rod tip lock are now rare collector’s pieces. Each Smolt was built to order, pairing an S&W K-frame with a Colt Python barrel of the customer’s chosen length.
About the Airsoft Version
Tanaka recreates this legendary custom concept with its Pegasus-style gas revolver “SMOLT” (formerly known in Japan as “Smythson”). This Tanaka Airsoft Python Smolt 4" Stainless Steel Finish Ver.3 Gas Revolver features a K-frame square butt configuration, responding to long-time fan demand.
Beyond the frame shape, it includes a wide hammer, wide trigger, and oversized grips for a strong vintage presence. The stainless-style finish is inspired by the M66, with matching treatment applied to the frame, barrel, hammer, and trigger for a cohesive appearance.
Built with heavyweight resin and zinc die-cast components, the Pegasus system integrates the gas mechanism within the cylinder for consistent performance and realistic handling.
Specifications such as weight may vary slightly depending on production batch.
