KWC PYTHON .357 - 2.5" inch Airsoft Revolver in Black

KWC Python .357 – 2.5" CO2 Airsoft Revolver in Black

Small but absolutely mighty, the KWC Python .357 2.5" CO2 Airsoft Revolver in black is the kind of sidearm that turns heads. A full-metal, snub-nosed beast with intimidating looks and punchy power, this revolver brings all the gritty revolver charm into a compact and practical airsoft handgun setup.

Made by KWC—no stranger to reliable CO2 airsoft builds—this replica is modelled after the iconic Python .357 Magnum. It’s a 1:1 scale airsoft revolver, and let’s be honest, it looks and feels like it could’ve been pulled straight out of a movie. While the 6” version might have more reach, this 2.5” variant is purpose-built for tight corners, CQB environments, and holster-friendly practicality. You’ll appreciate the reduced length when you’re weaving through tight doorways or ducking behind cover.

This is a full-metal airsoft revolver through and through—frame, barrel, cylinder—giving it a solid 1.1kg heft in the hand. That weight adds realism and stability, and you can feel the quality as soon as you draw it. The polymer grip is textured and contoured for comfort, with moulded finger grooves that let it nestle naturally into your hand. Even with gloves on, it’s easy to handle and keeps its grip when the pressure’s on.

The firing system is powered by a 12g CO2 capsule hidden neatly in the grip. Once it’s in, you’re good for around 100–140 shots per capsule. The velocity on this little beast clocks in around 498 FPS (150+ m/s) with 0.20g BBs—though we’ve seen it touch up to 550 FPS with lighter BBs. It’s not messing around. For best results, use 0.25g to 0.30g BBs to keep your shots steady and avoid overhopping at higher speeds.

One of the coolest features is the shell loading system. Each BB gets inserted into a dummy shell—just like the real thing—and those six shells get loaded into the revolving metal drum. The cylinder swings out for fast reloads, and with the included speed loader, it’s actually pretty quick to get back in the game. It’s got a proper old-school vibe with modern usability—a sweet combo.

The hammer functions just like a real revolver. Pulling it back gives you a crisp single-action shot, while double-action lets you shoot by just pulling the trigger. There's something incredibly satisfying about the tactile “click-clack” of the hammer and cylinder working in unison. Plus, that trigger response? Surprisingly smooth. Fast follow-up shots are totally doable once you get the rhythm down.

Sights are simple but effective—a V-notch rear paired with a blade front. On a 2.5" barrel, you’re not winning long-range duels, but at short to mid distances, it’s surprisingly accurate. And thanks to that high FPS output and tight barrel construction, your shots have some serious punch. Just mind your site’s FPS limits—this one’s a heavy hitter and not always CQB-friendly unless tuned or restricted.

All in all, the KWC Python .357 2.5" is a standout airsoft handgun. If you're after a compact revolver with old-school flavour, serious build quality, and performance that bites harder than expected—this is a sidearm worth holstering.
