Zero regrets.

Beautiful Python I’m going to shoot ten ways to Sunday. If Colt had this priced where it’s at currently before the pandemic, I would’ve thought it was a good deal and would have considered it a good deal. I would love for them to come out with a 7 round 327Fed Mag… Thanks Bronwells

Beautifully made. Comparable to my older models

Beautifully made. Comparable to my older models. Slightly slicker action than the older models, and with a somewhat more beefed up frame, although barely noticeable unless you know the differences. The grips are much nicer than the originals.

Perfect finish

I tried for an hour to find a defect... i think it flawless. Only gripe is the single action trigger is not as good as the original python or smith/ruger. Read somthing about a Californian drop test being to blame
