The full-length top rail allows the owner to mount a variety of optics, including red dots, scopes, and laser sights. The compact bottom rail can handle a variety of accessories, including a flashlight or laser sight.  With the compensator that helps to reduce recoil and muzzle rise, it makes it easier to control the Colt Python during rapid fire.
