The Python returns

[Texas by God]

Well, someone other than me needs to buy one of the new Pythons so the thread pic doesn't show a S&W PC ugmo anymore

I hope they get the bugs worked out!! I might need one of these to go with my Python Target gun I got , like, 30 years ago!! Guy said “ dang .38 special, if it woulda been a .357 magnum, I coulda done sold the dang thang long ago”! Hahahaha, lucky for me I knew what it was!! He did too, and at that time in history, nobody around my hometown wanted a .38, just some .357’s!!

Sorry, they can call it anything they want but a Python it ain’t. It is missing the Deep blue on carefully polished steel. To me Pythons were like the “pretty girl” in high school, all about the look. And this one looks like a cheap knockoff.
I’ll take a vintage M19 for half the money.

Pythons are ment to be kept in a safe & not fired.

Why? I've been chooting mine for 42 years. It's kind of like my Smiths, the more I choot it the better it gets.

Seen a 1970s Python get leaded up so bad that all shots could not be kept on the official 50 foot target @ 50 feet.
The owner had me shoot it to see if it was him.

Turned out the groove diameter was .354" The swaged 148 gr wc bullet was .358" diameter & loaded with 2.7 gr Bullseye Powder.

What a coincidence I also have a Pattern 14 w/ volley sights.

I got one as well, but without the volley sights, a 1916 Remington. Most accurate military rifle I've ever owned. Took it hunting last year and bagged a really nice buck; those battle sights work as well as any I've used. I'll stop hi-jacking the thread though......

ill stick to my rugers

Colts, like Fords, and Rugers, should never be bought when first announced. They seem never to have been fully de-bugged before being put on the market. You want to wait a year or so.

Seems it's getting that way with everything these days. Apparently warranty-return work is cheaper than proper R&D.

This is very good advice. A generation has passed since the last of the original Colt Pythons or any Colt revolver have been produced and few if any who built the Python are still alive to advise or direct the construction of the new Pythons.

Is anyone making holsters for the new 4.25” Pythons? Specially kydex?
