Colt Resurrecting the Python?

sixteen C-notes on the glass for one

That will buy a very nice M27, as if that needs pointing out.

The interview Yamil Sued and Hackathorn did was pretty painful to watch. At 1:10 YS "now, we haven't shot this one yet"

16:58 KH "as a shooter, this is a much better gun". Now I understand he is directly comparing it to an older Python. I do. But, I am very curious how many rounds were put down range to reach that conclusion.

I'd like one, no doubt.

The idea of plunking sixteen C-notes on the glass for one is, well, daunting. I have a 4" 686 and a 6" 27. A Python fills no niche that I need to have filled.

But I still want one.

It’s perverse, I have to say. I bought both of my Pythons from pawn shops in the 1990s for under $500 each, and I occasionally think about selling them so that I can die having made money on a firearm. I’ve also not got a shortage of .357 Smiths. And now I want to try the new Python.

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?

Only if Colt starts suing people for saying bad things about their guns.

I got this for half that, including tax and two speedloaders.

Must not be a very nice one. What would another $800 of quality revolversmithing and custom grips do for it?

Here we are 316 posts into this thread and it is now clear that the new Python is having tons of problems. But someone implied I was full of shit when I noted early on that Colt was having QC issues with its revolvers.

This is my, "I told you so", shitpost. And a reminder that you don't need a mechanical engineering degree to understand that a revolver cylinder should turn when the trigger is stroked.

Isn't this what has been pretty much predicted over the past number of years whenever the Python resurrection was suggested?
