Well - the Python finally made it home . I will get a range report as soon as i can. The case of ammo got here yesterday ! I was bummed that with a delayed 4473, you cant add additional items to it when you pick it up. I thought that was the case, but i was told thats only on same day purchases. HAd...

My Python is a 4". I've handled the 6" and the snubby version (2.5"?). The .357 is very accurate and handles sweetly from the 4". It's a shame Colt didn't release it in that length. They have the 4" too. I believe the lineup so far 3", 4" and 6" with the 8&qu...

I put a comedy movie on Tubi for my dog when i leave for the day

I have found that it will keep rolling and play movies in whatever category in perpetuity for Lil' Grace's viewing pleasure. - i suspect she probably sleeps through most of it though

For $4500 this could be yours or anyone you want it to be….3 digit number (first two months of production up with bolt peep and deluxe) and 98%…….I’ve never shot it after 20+ years. https://i.postimg.cc/sXc8bmnL/0945-DD3-B-7860-448-D-A6-AA-762-C879-AD270.jpg Beautiful!

a 348 is one i always wanted to add to the quiver . Great shooting !

Streetstar

Still not here, but i have noted that my stores of 357 and 38 have dwindled down to less than a box. Not really in the mood to dust off the old Rockchucker just yet, so ordered up 500 rounds each of .38 and 158 grain .357. Probably 2 years supply at the rate i shoot, plus will have brass for decades...

Streetstar

Yup. WAY better than a 20! That's a really nice revolver. My uncle had one and it was really neat. Yeah, since you still have the Dan, I'd get the 3" Colt. Thats exactly what i did. Went back and committed to the 3" engraved model -- will post a pic or two when my 4473 clears. (ex .Mil --...

I had a new 3" Python, but sold it. I don't really see a need for a 3" 357 magnum unless I was going to carry it concealed. The 6" is ideal to me for a hunting or target gun though. Kind of what i was thinking at first, but then i found the Dan Wesson that i thought was long gone (CR...

That said - i really loved shooting my old Dan Wesson with 8" barrel - i had the whole pistol pack, but the 8" was the only i used an appreciable amount for plinking --- I need to change "Had" to "Have" on this statement , while looking around for .357 or .38 ammo in m...

I like the old Python's quite a bit . However I’ve never liked the way you released the cylinder on aColt DA it’s assbackwards to S&W’s or Ruger’s and just seemed un natural to me . Me too -- and it occurred to me that the dough one of these new ones cost would go a long way towards an original...

First off...... Tutt, Yes, I agree! I'm still rolling my 96" Twin Cam from 2008. I'll NEVER go any newer. Never. Streetstar, I have one of the new Pythons, but mine is a 4.25". I realize this is the one barrel you aren't considering, but I have been happy with mine. Thanks for the input! ...

If you want to talk 'tactical' or 'combat', the Marbles Bullseye sights are awesome because the field of view is better than ANY iron sight in existence, and they are the fastest site imaginable, yet offer precision if you take just a half second extra to use the finer sighting ring.
