    3” Colt Python… I’m Weak

    Sportsmans Warehouse had this on their website yesterday, but when I hit “Pay” it read out of stock. Today it went through. I sold my 4.25” Python last month, mostly because I like to carry a shorter revolver. We’ll See…

    It's too bad Colt never came up with a smaller and/or rounder grip frame for the shorty Pythons

    Frank congratulations on the "sweetness" of short barreled 357s. Balance, sights, strength and trigger all pluses. Enjoy that take with me anywhere revolver.

    The splinter grip that came with the older 2 1/2" barrel Pythons is a bit shorter. It is unfortunately the only option I know of for a shorter Python grip, and the only potential improvement is a Tyler T-grip adapter.

    Altamont has service grips I have been wanting to try. I'm just too busy at the moment to concentrate on firearms and shooting.

    Did you not see the round butt job on my Cobra? Hate crime.

    First impressions:
    VERY CLEAN! The fit and finish are as amazing as the first 4.25” Python. DA trigger pull feels the same, but the SA is much improved. It’s not only lighter than the first; the hammer doesn’t have that slight rearward movement while pulling the trigger. My trigger scale is upstairs, but I’m guessing…hang on while I get my scale 🤣… DA average is 8lb 7oz, SA is 5lb 1oz. Both are very nice! Timing is dead on, endshake is nonexistent, and the B/C gap is .005”. The stock target grips are almost too big for a 3” revolver, but the vented rib kind of balances it out.
