Since the New Python is stainless steel, you are asking whether they will make guns out of chrome moly that CAN be blued. I doubt it, the machining is done differently.

In all likelihood we will see a new Python with some sort of shiny dark finish, if nothing else as made for a big distributor like Talo.
S&W made a few guns in blackened stainless. They looked pretty good but they did not look like conventional blue and a bit of wear did not give them "character" as it can blue, they just looked dirty.

Treatments are better now and they could bright polish some stainless and have it DLC treated for a good dark finish that would last. If they thought they would sell well enough and high priced enough to be worthwhile to the company. Maybe CZ will give them a push.
