I guess I got a good one . Now over 1300 rounds of both .38 and .357 and it’s been 100% and that’s with mostly double action.

I joined the club today. Called my LGS and a 4.25” is on the way. Just finished reading the last 10 pages
and ordered the Wilson sights. I was tempted to drive up as they are less than 2 hours away.
I bought a new 6” Python @ 1972, but it is long gone.
Once this is here, I’ll compare it to my 14s and 15s.

It's a good guess, but I'm not as comfortable working on the internals of a Colt as I am S&W. I think I'll let the factory handle it.

My Python is home. Scanned the barcode and it is June production. Looks good and feels good in hand.
SA averaged 6.7 Lbs. DA 10.5. Rear sight had drifted right, so centered it up and locked down the tiny
screw to hold it in place.
Ran a few dry patches and dry fired @ 100 times. Tomorrow the Wilson sights arrive. I’ll take a look with
my borescope then put a few on steel. Very happy so far.

Picked up an old set of camoflauge Pachmayr grips for my 3" Python. Makes for a slow feeling gun but takes all the sting out of recoil and they do look cool.I think they'd balance much better with a 5" or 6" barrel.
I handled a 5” Python today, very tempting
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Oh Gross! Isn’t the whole Python mystic its curb appeal? I’d just buy a blem if I needed to save money. Waiting for me to inevitably to sell one is another idea, but that’s not happening anytime soon. Lol
Hmm... can you mimic parkerizing on stainless in some fashion? Like, maybe matte cerakote on top of bead blasted stainless? Would the texture be close?
Part of me would be amused by creating a metal-polishers-strike Colt like the park'd Agents and Peacekeepers they did back in the early 80s. Only with a Python. Because heresy.
