Colt Resurrecting the Python?

[Bucky]

I keep seeing notices that there are new posts in this thread, but it just keeps turning out to be S&W folks talking about non-Pythons.

I agree, now back to some on topic talk about Python.

def stop_thread_drift():
    print(“Stop talkin’ ‘bout Smiths”)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    stop_thread_drift()

Dear God, it's like Blues and my software engineer friend had a baby.

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Back on topic, I love Smiths as much as the next guy (but maybe not like Crazy K-Frame Lady), but this is a thread for lust over pure cosmetics, and a desire to join the My Little Pony fan club, constrictor division.

Plus, I was too dumb to take a pic of that 3" m24 I saw at the LNGS to join the fun.

It's kind of like the Jeep thread has stopped talking about Jeeps for a while now.

If they get the Python to work right, I'd love to then get an Anaconda in 45 Colt (preferably 5" barrel) that is tough enough to handle a regular diet of 255 gr SWC at about 1000fps.

The old Anaconda is easily up to that.
Buffalo Bore lists Anaconda's as good to go with their 45 Colt +P and the 44 mag +P+.

Ken made a lot of seemingly definitive statements in that video that aren't being born out by actual events, thus far. Not surprising really, he is a paid shill for Colt these days. Anyone smell Fireclean in the air?

Yea, not to diminish the work that Hackathorn has done in the past, but that was just a goofy advertisement like video.
I like the old Python DA trigger. I like the S&W DA trigger. But I don't slow pull or try to stage DA's either.
As they age (most times) these old timers like Hackathorn begin to think that every firearm related word they utter is Gospel.

Colt's official acknowledgment/reply...



Bottom line: "Our screws are too loose, our springs are too light; damaged crowns don't affect function but send 'em all in, beta tester, we'll get it right."

On the one hand, good for them sending this video out. On the other, good grief...

All this is making it easier to say that my 686 is good enough.

You’re not supposed to remove the sideplate On a Colt? It lets the unicorns escape?

Never mind.
