COLT PYTHON! Enough said!
The Python is regarded as the greatest production DA revolver ever created. It took many countless hours from master gunsmiths from Colt to create these timeless pieces. I will be going over the pros and cons of the Colt Python so others can see if they would like to get their hands on one.
Pros:
1) Its a Colt in a time where beauty and function meant something.
2) Colt Royal Blue has always tried to be duplicated but never replicated. The blueing will cause awes and ooos and jealousy!
3) The cocking of the hammer is like rubbing silk together with your fingers. Something that would cost hundreds of dollars to do on others and even than nothing like a python action.
4) Colts "bank vault" cylinder as in NO movement what so ever while firing.
5) A firearm that MANY people have sought after... blame the walking dead lol.
Cons:
1) EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2) A 6 shooter still a revolver
3) Colt stopped production of the snake revolvers so what's out there is it.
4) Heavy and in this day an age not practical for much
5) Its beauty is also a double edge, nicks and wear depreciates value substantially.
Thoughts:
The Colt Python has been under scrutiny since its birth. Reports of malfunctions and "fragile" build. Many Pythons have not been maintained properly, the so called hand breakage making timing issues a problem... Suggesting that the Colt Python is a fragile revolver.... BS! Many people compare Colts to the other great revolver maker S&W. Anyone who is into revolvers know Colts were the elite, S&W were for the working man, robust and not refine as a Colt. Which is perfectly fine! The problem with the Pythons were because of all the hand fitting parts they were very prone to high maintenance costs. Example a competition shooter who shoots thousands upon thousands of rounds, causing timing issues and to fix those issues costs hundreds of dollars because those parts were hand fitted and polished to perfection. While S&W revolvers that had timing issues, were easier to fix and much cheaper. These problems found their way to web and "stories" spread of their catastrophic failures.... Buy S&W revolvers.....lol. Guess it was a very good marketing plan... Colt no longer produces revolvers while S&W still produces them? Regardless the Colt Python is an extremely well built revolver. Their are videos on YouTube that go in depth in dissembling a Python to the last screw showing all the individual parts and you'll understand what made the Colt Python the greatest! If you are thinking of picking up a python now is the time! They continue to increase in value and in this case waiting is not the answer.
