- Colt Python: what I WISH I knew earlier…
Colt announced the reintroduction of the legendary python to considerable fanfare back in 2019. But despite the joyous occasion, this unbeatable classic Magnum has undergone considerable changes. In this video, I'll tell you everything that I wish I knew about the new Colt Python. Check out the video, then swing by the comments and let me know your thoughts about the revisions to the action. Are the updates welcome improvements, or have they spoiled what makes a Python, a Python?

Hope you enjoyed my Colt Python: what I WISH I knew earlier… Video.

Cover picture is a Smith and Wesson… backwards with cylinder release on the wrong side😂. Major fail
First thing I noticed. Why would you make a video about Colt Pythons and use a bassackwards S&W for a thumbnail? LoL
..and spelt earlier as " ear liar"
Wish I knew😂
There new lineup include the Kodiak and the Grizzly.... And they brought back royal blue...
I picked up a 1978 stainless 3 inch barrel a few days ago in the original box and paperwork
Good luck
Heard it costs $500+ to tune the timing nowadays...
Knew someone that had an original Python in the late 70s early 80s,we were at a range and I had my 686 and a batch of my reloads,fellow asked if he could try my handloads fine no problem but there was a problem my handloads 357 mag consisting of a 170 gr SWC cast bullet were too long for his cylinder. Thought that was a bit strange but the video made a point of the original Python was a target gun not a duty gun. Now I know why the cylinder was a bit "short".
To me the python was the kind of revolver you take out of the case at the range, shoot, and put back into the case. The old action was very intricate and think a grain of sand could easily put it out of service.
The modern Python's are the better pistols. I will be purchasing the blued 6" Python due to my affinity for the Starsky and Hutch TV show.
Here I go again. Got to find another excuse to get another revolver. I do like the .357-mag cartridge. So the Colt Python will fit right in with my S&W-586. Trouble is should I get my dream gun the S&W-29, or, a Colt Anaconda. Both in the big .44-mag cartridge size. Too bad money doesn't grow on trees.
Love to have one! Great review tho!
What do you think about the new Colt Python's action changes? Do you prefer the classic feel or are you a fan of the new design?
I had an original 80's Blue 6" Python that I sold, and regretted it for years. Buttery smooth action. I was thrilled and jumped on a 4.25 " SS a couple years ago, and this past year jumped on the blue version in 6". I have replaced the front sight and added a Wilson Combat red fiber optic instead. Love it. Compared to the original? No stacking, like the greater durability and I am thrilled to have the new 6" Anaconda, and a new King Cobra in 2" for carry. I am a Colt fan....a revolver fan as well with 4 Smiths and even a 10mm Match Champion 4.25" Ruger too. They are the stick shift of guns!
I’ve got both, and I agree with your assessment.
I love mine.. changed out my grips and sights .i'm good to go.
Can they handle loads that is in Lyman manual that is to be used only in Rugers , because of the loads is stronger then other 357 mags?
What I wish I knew: Purchased a new Colt Anaconda a couple of months ago. What I found out: [1] If you try to buff out a hairline scratch that was on the gun when you bought it, you void the warranty; [2] If you put a slight burr on the cylinder lock screw, you cannot get a replacement from Colt. If you look for parts on the Colt website, the website tells you to go to Brownells or Midway USA (where the selection of parts is so limited it's laughable).
👀🤪. That! Blued finish. MMMM! BABY! 👌
The problem being is CZ arms not Colt
The biggest problem with the new Pythons is the wobbly rear sight. I’m going to be replacing the one on my 6” 2020 Python with one made for it by Wilson. It’s not a problem at 15 yards, but at 25+ it really shows up.
Que hermosa es la nueva Colt Python, es una excelente arma, pero prefiero el modelo clásico, ese revolver es el Cadillac de los revolvers, yo tuve una y la vendí, y pienso volver a hacerme de ese bello revólver..!! Es un arma muy versátil y muy precisa..!! Excelente video..!!
Have a 4 digit 1956 6" barrel Python in "pinto " ( blued fame, nickel cylinder & barrel, shoots great)
Price is far superior from most revolvers.
Why is the thumbnail clearly NOT a Colt Python? I mean I get not many people can always tell the difference between Colts and Smith’s, but the python is generally well known and has an iconic look to it that’s pretty hard to miss….
My two new production King Cobras could not handle a steady diet of factory 357 Magnum ammo without needing service. I have limited my use of my two 2020 generation Pythons as a result. I don’t want y to send them in for service. The cartridge overall length is very critical in all Colt revolvers. The SAAMI specs must be followed ( max COAL for 357 Mag is 1.590”). There is no room for any deviation. These guns are very expensive.
All clips from other peoples videos with a computer voice reading a script written by someone who never held this gun ar any other gun.
Now you know why I didn’t like or subscribe to this channel
Interesting that the front sight is crooked.
This video was stolen from Colt Firearms.
Duh , it's ab a colt fire arm
There wouldn't be a new Python without the new action. The scarcity of both parts and pistolsmiths able to work on the old action is pretty much the swan song of the older guns. Better durability and a better double action are tradeoffs I'd be willing to make considering the alternative: no Python. I doubt Colt would have brought the gun back if they would have had to charge MR73 or Korth levels of prices. The new gun's sights are simply unacceptable, but that's easy enough to remedy. Be glad Bill Wilson is a Python fan.
What is unacceptable with the sights, they have remedied the loos rear sight, that actually made no difference when shooting the gun. The first production series on the Anaconda and the Pythons had this issue, this has now been corrected and the rear sight fit snug in place.
That was years ago
@@norseman5041 The Allen screw is still too small. Rounding it off will be common. The sight picture isn't good. The gun should have at least been fitted with the old Accro sight, if not the Eliason. Colt was probably trying to make a price point, but the rear sight just isn't up the rest of the gun.
@@davefinfrock3324
1 way for it to not be a problem for you, don’t buy 1
Nothing valuable here unless one is a complete newby.
give me the manurhin mr73
Yes, but it's not accurate unless you are eating a hot dog with your left hand............
Who are you? Show yourself!
Stupidest thing is that press-fit firing pin! Impossible to change out without sending it back to Colt! If Colt stop servicing the new Pythons one day and that part needs replacement, well the whole gun is now a paperweight...totally brain-dead "feature"...
Anaconda ❤️
I'll stick to my Ruger gp 100.
Nice gun but lost its soul.
You mean you could never afford one
@@lynch6642 no I have a '69 blued Python 4 in like new w/ box and a '73 nickel plated Python 4 in . I paid crazy money for both. The new guns are nice they just don't have the swagger of the vintage Pythons. Could swing $1500 for a new Python easy but I have more guns that I know what to do with.
A waste of time watching this
This channel is such a joke considering it's not even a colt python on the thumbnail… Just another channel looking to make money with no knowledge and a high budget production team
If you can afford a python. You should want it Royal blue ..
I never liked the python
