The Python

I was simply asking for that ability, IF it exists.

I know; that's why I was sure to clarify that I was not taking a shot at your request for on-line verification.

Is there any online proof you can point me to so I can show others when this comes up - as it will - again?

This will be fun for you on a Sunday. Go to this thread:

Enjoy....internet drama elsewhere. It is typical of he "internet", and "my cousin knew a SEAL who had a friend who killed Bin laden and he did it with a mK23". Along with that are links to the John Milius stuff on YouTube discussing the guns. Also, note post #57. I can vouch for Mike. Well established SME and long time LAPD and serious gun dude. I got into it on the rehash in post #106 with a typical cop look of "prove it"....because all the actual "proof" is that the guns were 6.5" Model 29-2's, including the guns, and all the folks actually involved. Then there is post #138 by a very heavyweight SME from the Smith Collectors association (which is a wonderous organization of great gun folks).

I couldn't force myself to read the entire thread but the two posts you referenced are good enough for me. Thanks!

Watched Dead Bang last night. Loved it, great movie. I miss the 80's.

Back in the '70's, I was heavily involved in PPC shooting. Started out with a 6" Python because I wasn't a fan of the S&W. At a match in Ohio, I was introduced to a deputy from a local sheriff's dept who, I learned, had been taught how to 'smith a Colt by Jerry Moran. I sent him my Python and it came back with a DA that was incredible. In the meantime, I ran down an old model Colt Trooper (Python action) and had it fitted with a 1" Douglas barrel, BoMar Rib, and I sent this one to the deputy. Came back with a full action job converted to DA only and a fully bobbed hammer. The DA pull was an even 4 pounds with no stacking whatsoever. It never misfired nor went out of time and I put a ton of rounds through it. It is indeed a complicated action to work on and I'd hate to have to find a gunsmith today to repair one.
