[Tinman]

Well I picked up my new Colt Python with a
4 1/4” barrel today.

 

[Podmonkey]

Man that's a good lookin' piece

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Nice fire breather.

 

[Saltwater60]

Nice piece. If you run out of bullets just beat ‘em with it.

Thats a beauty. I think by spring I am going to pull the trigger (no pun) on a King Cobra. I know they are pricey, but I don't have a Colt revolver and I want one....correction....I need one!

 

[Bustedknees]

do they have any plans for a blued version?

 

[FP1201]

Why, .44 mag of course.

Well supposedly the Anaconda is being reintroduced as well.
The Action and frame isn't the same as the original Python, and I strongly suspect it's the same as the King Cobra using a "V" main spring opposed to coil springs. The Bolt spring on the Mark V and KC's is problematic in that it doesn't have sufficient tenson, and this is a critical area for timing and lock-up.

 

[Tinman]

All of the original problems with the Python have been corrected. When they first came out they had a timing problem and a light strike issue. Both have been corrected.

Nice purchase. What a classic looking wheelgun.

 

[That_FNG]

You misspelled 460 magnum

 

[thegatman]

Nice pistol. I prefer that Smith 629 for power and hunting. Any Colt is great though.

 

[Rondo223]

Sweet!!

Beautiful revolver! To me, the Colt snakes are some of the best-looking production revolvers out there. Add to that some of the best double-action triggers right outta the box, and you have an awesome revolver. Have you shot it yet?

Have not shot it yet. Been remodeling a master bath. Will go to the range soon.

NICE and congrats, good luck with it!

Been eyeing a nice Colt Wheel Gun, either .357 or .44 ... But have been holding out as I don't want to feed NY in any way unnecessarily. Waiting to relocate, and THEN get a few toys, and especially my Tax Stamp for hearing protection (Silencer)
