Where this comes from is people measuring ONLY the portion of the barrel sticking out from the front of the frame, instead of measuring the entire barrel from the front of the cylinder.
This mistake is common and for some reason it's VERY common with Pythons. I've heard of "rare" 5 1/2" Pythons, and 1 3/4" Detective Specials.
