It may be irrational AF, but I want one.
(I'd really like a Smython, though.)

Mox nix zu mir.
Give it time.
Modern manufacture cost cutting notwithstanding, the SF6 I looked at and reportedly the better New Cobras don't NEED gunsmith "tuning" like old timey V spring Chamelot Delvigne guns.

I’d have to see an MSRP and have a sample in hand to inspect before committing, but I’m kinda interested
Maybe I'll actually end up with a 3" Colt Python before I die now...
But seriously 4" Royal Blue or fucking bust...that's Python 101.
My 4" is a Jungkind duty tune, all he was doing in semi-retirement at the time.
My 6" Colt Custom Tedford action is lighter but utterly dependent on well seated Federal primers. That is all I use in any revolver ammo, so no problem.

Jungkind was a Texas LE legend in many ways. He was Bill Jordan huge and serious. I often wonder what happened to the many TXDPS Pythons he tuned. You could carry one if you had 10 years on (usually in THP) or were a Sergeant. Looked nicer in the holster than the issue Model 28. Sometimes you wish you could see the future a bit and get something you don't know you want yet!

Can you please explain, in legalese, why they won't be rid of it?
Since they offer the lock in basically none of their semi autos, and they offer some revolvers without locks, what possible reason could there be against eliminating them completely? Or at least leave it as an "option" that we know pretty much no one is going to order?
I'm curious too. I can only think of one reason since they've made the 442 sans lock and my 642 doesn't have one either. Ruger has a fully functional lock in some revolver models, but good luck using it. It's hidden under the grip and designed as such that it'll likely never cause a problem locking up when it shouldn't. To use it you have to remove the grips. It's like they said "OK here's your lock, now fuck off". The new Colt Cobras don't have one at all. So I'm really curious as to how S&W is locked (pun?) into the lock for perpetuity if it's not just a case of snowflake management and legal council.
