As we are days away from SHOT show, the companies are announcing new product. Well, Colt has the Python back again. Looks very sweet for wheelgun fans !
I totally agree. $1499 is not an unreasonable number, if the quality is there. I may just have to buy one. Lol$1,499 is an excellent price point for this revolver. Colt listened to the customers. The legendary trigger pull is even better?
Everyone who picks up a real Python always admires cocking the hammer. I know the new Python won't drop the prices on the original model.
Wow, I was just thinking the opposite. Why do you say that?I know the new Python won't drop the prices on the original model.
The Colt revolvers have softened a bit as with many firearms. People know this is not a hand fitted revolver and doesn't have that action or fine Royal Blued or Bright Nickel option many Colt Python customers want.Wow, I was just thinking the opposite. Why do you say that?
Im with you on the 4.25 inch version. I much prefer it to the 6 inch model.The Colt revolvers have softened a bit as with many firearms. People know this is not a hand fitted revolver and doesn't have that action or fine Royal Blued or Bright Nickel option many Colt Python customers want.
The new Python is a different action. It is supposed to be very durable because of new technology and better metallurgy.
I will buy the new Python. It's not unreasonable, I could've purchased a 6" model for $1,331 shipped to my FFL but would like the 4.25" barrel.
TWD fans did jump on those 6" nickel Pythons during season one. I am buying the 4.25" model since The original Python was never available in that barrel length.Still think the general public fave will be the 6 inch stainless for all the Walking Dead fans.
Nothing. Hope you enjoy watching Huntley & Brinkley. And I have no idea why they cancelled Star Trek !BTW what's wrong with my CRT TV?
I am waiting for the Canadian 4.25" model. The new Colt has 37 fewer parts than the original Python. The new King Cobra is basically the same action. The original action of the Python was hand fitted. Cocking the hammer on the original Python was so nice and smooth which is why many target shooters used them. I hope Colt will make a Royal Blue and Bright Nickel version.Ken Hackathorn from Wilson Combat,claims that the trigger of the new Python is better than the old classic Python.
He called it a Shooters gun.
The 4.25 was made specially for Canadians,but will sell here as well.
Simong.
Wait until Colt has a fix. The single action pull isn't like the original Python. I would like Colt to make a hammer Spur similar to the original.I had no interest
Until I saw the new trigger pull
Now I need one!
Unfortunately, some of those first videos didn't report the issues with the problem Hickok45 had with his Python as those videos basically was promoting the new Python. The Colt VP reported at SHOT that one was returned and they couldn't replicate that problem. The revolvers returned had only minor finish issues. In total only 5 returned from over 2,500 sold.Bear in mind, these are NOT hand fitted Colt Pythons. While they may look like a Python, they most certainly are not. Plus, there are some problems with them that shouldn't be happening at the price of $1500.
I would suggest waiting several months to see how Colt handles the issues, prior to spending your hard earned money.
Check out Golden Webb on youtube. His gun is the one they say they can't replicate the issue. Watch his video showing exactly what the issue is. It happens more than once during his range session.Unfortunately, some of those first videos didn't report the issues with the problem Hickok45 had with his Python as those videos basically was promoting the new Python.

I am sure some of those guys will eventually get called out for not reporting the truth.
I applaud Golden Webb for his honesty, he was telling everyone to sell their old Python revolvers ASAP because the new Python is much better and selling at $1,499.Check out Golden Webb on youtube.

Happened to Hickok45, and the Colt rep in their promo video. Im certain there will be more.
