Gun of the Month | Custom Engraved & Gold-Plated Firearms

Each month, Top Gun Armory Custom Shop selects a single build from our workshop to feature as our Gun of the Month — a piece chosen for its craftsmanship, rarity, and presentation.

  • Hand-selected monthly from our custom shop's current production
  • Featuring 24K gold, 18K white gold, or dual-tone plating
  • Finished with our signature engraving styles, including French Scroll, Colt Heritage Scroll, and Snake Design

Top Gun Armory Custom Shop is based in California and specializes in transforming legendary firearm platforms — Colt, Rock Island, Springfield, Ruger, and more — into fully customized collector pieces through hand engraving and precious metal plating.

Each Gun of the Month acquisition represents a singular moment in our shop's ongoing body of work — a build that will not return to this page once claimed.

This custom Colt Python 357 Magnum is the first production a 5 inch Python barrel to ever leave our custom shop, amazing balance point between the Python's compact and full-size builds: not small, not oversized, but precisely proportioned.

Every inch of this Colt Python 357 Magnum revolver was engraved in our new signature "Snake & Scroll" design, cut to a full 1.5mm depth across the frame, cylinder, and barrel. Mirror finish polishing and then plated in real 18K White Gold, with the hammer, trigger, and accents finished in 24K Yellow Gold. We completed the build by upgrading the factory grips to our signature White Pearl polymer grips, inlaid with a 24K gold plated Colt medallion.

This Colt Python 5 inch revolver is Unit 1 of a strictly limited run, with only 4 additional units planned for production in 2026. This is a brand new revolver, unfired, and represents the first production example of this barrel length and engraving combination to ever leave our custom shop.
