colt python 2020 review

The frame strength was second to none – even more robust than the S&W.

I much prefer a .44 or .45 caliber.

Founding Member. These days, high performance JHPs mean that while semi-autos still can’t keep up with enormous hunting cartridge revolvers, they are more than good enough to compete against .38 SPL self-defense revolvers. Results were excellent, as good as I am able to produce with any handgun.The new Python is a good handgun. To be honest, I found it challenging to take photos of this revolver without including my own reflection. Victim blame all you want (like “they didn’t release the trigger all the way” in this review), this release is a mess and the problems were (are?) The reply was that stainless steel guns are what people will shoot.As much as I bristle at that (I shoot the heck out of finely finished guns all the time), I’m afraid they’re right. The first python had light strikes, gouges on the crown and tool marks inside the barrel.

(It’s August 10, 2020)I love my new 2020 Python. Built for comfort, not speed. 6″, no Hillary hole and six rounds only. All of us licensed FFL dealers that don’t have a big retail store front but have been in business for years, got kicked down the road and can no longer sell Colt products.

When I see my trusty Glock 19 sitting in it’s place while not on me I see a semi-auto pistol.When I look at those Pythons or say something like a Colt Walker I see a freakin canon. I have ordered 2 of the 4.25″, hopefully consecutive numbers, though when I might see them in this environment, who can tell. I sold it and have never purchased a Colt revolver since.I own a 1961 4”, 1977 6” and a 1982 8”. I was ready to be angry.And then, in 2020, Colt released the best stainless steel revolver they’ve ever made.New 6″ Pythons in from the distributor (image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com)Months before Colt was able to get me guns to review, the guns from my buddy came in. I wanted this to be my best gun, I wanted to love this gun. In double action, the lowest trigger pull of either gun was 8 lbs. My questions is, Are parts from these new models compatible with the old Pythons?

On all of the guns I shot, the windage screw moves very easily. It’s hard to overstate. I don’t know if I’ll buy a new one. Please be respectful of others. I am cautiously optimistic about the future of Colt.Their recent record indicates they may actually be interested in people who shoot for fun as well as defense.The Python is cool. The inferior margin of the barrel is bounded by a heavy, full-length underlug.Combined with the rib and and barrel’s existing heavy profile, this adds up to a good bit of weight forward on the gun. A bad combination and an expensive one at that. I’ll buy two Smith&Wesson revolvers and be just as happy. With the stock wood grips the recoil is quite strongly felt.

Otherwise very happy with the new Python and hoping they will produce a 2.5″ not too far down the road as I need a good conceal carry gun before retirement (Hint Colt, please produce a 2.5″ barrel within the next year, please! Over a single long session of shooting, I put 300 rounds of reloaded .38 SPL and 200 rounds of .357 Magnum reloaded rounds through that 4.25″ gun prior to doing some brief accuracy testing.2020 Colt Python detail (image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com)I put an extremely wide range of ammunition through these three guns. re: the “need” for thread locker on modern guns. the only thing is can’t find a new anywhere and double the price is crazy i think the 1499.00 price is right but try to find one its impossible and if they only made 2500 6″ pythons thats a frigin joke its gonna be the same thing again you want a python its gonna be 3000 period which is a real bummer were not like the lucky ones who get to find these guns and test them colt needs to ramp up the production on these pythons which won’t happen real bummer us average joe will never see one of these pythons jockI shot a few Pythons back in the day, but couldn’t afford one myself.
