Bought a 4 inch python recently. Had some light strikes, but only with handloads. A firmer seating of the cci primers was necessary.
Never had an issue with factory ammo

The Harrison sights are taller than the original Colt. I thought I read that the Wilson sights were the same height as the factory ones. Have you noticed any significant POA/POI differences? I’ve got the Harrison sights on my 4.25” sample, but the Wilson rear keeps calling to me. I’m interested to know how this combo works.
I took Colt Python #4 to the range this afternoon, and it shot a variety of ammo just fine: Underwood .38 special +P and .357 magnum, WWB FMJ, Hornady Critical Duty in .38 special and .357, Federal FMJ 130 grain, and Norma .38 special 158 grain. They all went BANG, especially the Underwood .357 magnum.
The first 3” Python gave me fits sometimes in terms of accuracy. I ordered and installed the WC front and rear sights, but mailed it to Stephanie without trying the new sights. After using the WC sights on a 4.25” Python, along Stephanie’s results, I had a pretty good notion that the new setup would work well. After a few clicks of UP and Right on the rear sight, everything was pretty much centered!
Has Atlamont discontinued the walnut service panel grips for the Python? I can't seem to find them on the website.
I have not found anything objectively better than Deer Hollow stocks for the Pythons, when it comes to well made wood stocks.
I'm really liking my 3" Python. The Wilson sights are excellent and the DA trigger pull is very smooth and even. The single action pull is nothing to write home about, but I'm not using this gun in single action.
This week I crossed the 1k round mark with mine . It’s been 100% on reliability and no light strikes .
