I bought a new to me Python, which is real nice. Does it need anything before I take it to the range? Anything that I should look for so it doesn’t break?

clean underwear at least...Does it need anything before I take it to the range?
Oh don't worry. With that beauty in your hands, you're sure to get some action.Don’t forget your moms demand action hat
What size did you get? Show us a picture. I went with the 6” and it’s a great shooter. Handles full power .357 with no problem. .38 special feels like shooting a .22I bought a new to me Python, which is real nice. Does it need anything before I take it to the range?

I couldn’t get that commie taste out of my mouth….and I’m an AK guy…Oh don't worry. With that beauty in your hands, you're sure to get some action.
Just relish the fine craftsmanship and enjoy that wonderful classic gun.
Congratulations!

Good question. New to me could be anything.Wait is this a new or old Python?
So put some bullets into it and shoot it. Adjust sights as needed.It’s a 2020 series Python, 6 inch barrel.

Thanks, that's kinda what I was looking for - any particular lubing or break-in that I should look out for.I just got a 2020 series as well. The rear sight it junk, take a look Wilson combat. The front site is okay, but could be replaced. The SA is a bit rough, but the DA is okay (but heavy). If you wanted to trick it out with a trigger job, the only name I've heard is good is backed-up until 2025. Other than that, shoot it. It will start to easy up more as it breaks in and the parts rub down. There is a thread in Colt forum about putting a drop of dry silicon down the action to slick things up.
Pretty sure X frame trumps Colt Python.Work on your 'better than you' facial expressions in case you find yourself shooting next to someone with a S&W, Ruger or <gasp> a Charter Arms??
Watchman had it - get ammo, have fun!
