I posted the wrong video!Beautiful gun. Glad they got it all sorted. I don't think I can bear to watch another one of that kids videos. My grammer nazi senses tingle with every word.
The old ones are really good, but they aren't as good as people "remember". The old ones also finicky and have a range of issues such as maintaining timing.Yes, they are beautiful revolvers. But the question is, are they as good as the older Colt Pythons?
I have an older one. No issues in 40 years. Jack.The old ones are really good, but they aren't as good as people "remember". The old ones also finicky and have a range of issues such as maintaining timing.
I have and older 8 inch Python and its been perfect throughout the years, it was my dads and now mine. I've taken a lot of deer with the Python and one is the third biggest Northeast buck I've ever shot. Somebody in the current PCC thread was saying only an irresponsible hunter would use a pistol caliber to hunt game, I was likeThe old ones are really good, but they aren't as good as people "remember".

Yes, I am aware it is a year old.Reptile: That video is from February 2020. Just saying.
I haven't had my 2020 Python out of the safe lately. I ran out of .38 special and only have one box of .357 left so no revolver shooting for me for a while. .38 and .357 seem like it's non-obtainium even more than other popular calibers. I know this has been discussed on some of the ammo threads. I think I'll take the 2 S&W revolvers and the Python out of the safe tomorrow for a little dry fire and oiling.
Don’t do it! The CMP still has .357 mag available (with the Hornady 125 XTP bullet) for $168 for a 240 round case.If yours is a 6" model, I'll trade you for 2,000 rounds of .38!

Yes I know. I've been trying to get back with them. My affiliated "club" status expired and although I have emailed them my current membership card 3 times they still haven't updated my profile.Don’t do it!

Give them a call, they are pretty good at working things out.Yes I know. I've been trying to get back with them. My affiliated "club" status expired and although I have emailed them my current membership card 3 times they still haven't updated my profile.

I have to disagree. I recently got a 1981 vintage 6" blued Python, and it is by far the best revolver I have ever shot. Even double action is amazing.

I got the "new" 2020 Python to the range today for the first real workout. I fired 42 rounds of Perfecta .357 magnum in DA and SA and didn't not have any problems whatsoever. No light strikes and no mechanical issues with the firearm. I will say that the wood grips look nice but I think I'll switch them out to rubber grips that should give me a better grip on things. I wish I had some .38 special but I went through what I had of that during the initial firing months ago.
I really want one of these. I wonder what the Massachusetts markup will be?
Forget price. I think the first question is: Will they ever become available to buy in Massachusetts? Bueller? Bueller?$1,995.00 Ouch.
I only see one Colt on the “list”. Do they just not submit samples?Forget price. I think the first question is: Will they ever become available to buy in Massachusetts? Bueller? Bueller?

Colt has always been reluctant to play the Massachusetts handgun certification extortion game.I only see one Colt on the “list”. Do they just not submit samples?
LOL!!!!! For right now, new and old Python prices remain insane and out of my league... so moot point.I would bet "never" by a landslide. If you want one badly you will need to use a masterclass level wallhack to get it.
