357 Magnum Colt Python is first acquired by the player in a Civil Protection outpost in the chapter 'Water Hazard'. Note that the barrel weight is incorrectly shown as being completely solid, as the real one has an opening ontop of it that exposes the barrel the weight being solid would also prevent the barrel from moving, permanently locking the action. The weapon's slide also is released automatically when a fresh magazine is inserted, instead of using the slide release.

It must be also noted that the slide always locks back when a reload is started, even if there were unfired rounds in the chamber and magazine. One detail worth noting: the weapon doesn't eject empty casings when fired, while the (otherwise identical) pistol in the pre-release beta demonstrations did, this is a bug. Oddly enough, while it can be found in many supply caches and beside civilian corpses, Resistance members are never actually seen using it.ĭespite it using standard 15-round magazines (with finger-rest floorplates like the picture below), it holds 18 rounds like the extended magazines that are meant to be used in conjunction with H&K's 'Jet-funnel' extended mag-wells. Its stopping power is lax, but its decent accuracy, rate of fire, and high capacity make it suitable for a variety of applications, such as attacking weak but difficult to hit enemies like headcrabs and manhacks and setting explosive barrels on fire from a distance. Later, one can be taken from a slain CP and then used throughout the game. It is first seen wielded by a guard in the train station and is soon after used against the player as they flee across the rooftops in the chapter 'Point Insertion'. The Heckler & Koch USP Match in 9x19mm is the standard issue sidearm of the Combine's 'Civil Protection' police force.
