Glad to see this video. I don't have a 44magnum revolver so I been studying most of them. Your video has convince me to buy the new Anaconda. Lots of good comments about it here and many other sites. Thank you.
Hi Terry, beautiful guns you have there. I am always a fan of the colt python. I saw it in one of the Dirty Harry movies Magnum Force as a child. It was used by those four rogue cops in the movie. I have a couple of questions for you. When the colt pythons were reintroduced in 2020, wasn’t there a recall about a side plate screw coming loose causing timing issues? Second, has Colt started fixing the rear sight issue. I would love to get a python but only if they got rid of the bugs. You’re right $1500 is a steal for a classic handgun like that. Thanks.
I have a video comparing the old vs. New one. The side plate only happened to some of the very first few. It was such a minor thing that got blown out of proportion. That issue has been resolved. The sight thing has never been fixed. You ha e to just order the wilson combat site. It fixes everything. Check out the side by side comparison video. I would highly recommend getting one of the new ones
I got a question. I just picked up my 8" Anaconda last week and I already had the 6" Python and after comparing both next to each other it seems like my Python has a more mirror polish to it and the Anaconda is a more matte polish. Has anyone noticed this about there Anaconda?
@The Negociater they are the Altamont Grips Python Elite Grips. The saying that I put on them.are from my favorite movie Pulp Fiction. That was the waller Samuel L. Jackson had.
What barrel lengths are these pistols? Where can these grips be purchased? Thanks! What barrel length do you recommend on the Python, 4.25” or 6”. I have 2.5, 4, & 6” S&Ws
@@TerryBenton I have both. I kept trying to see an external difference between both. It looks like the Python’s hammer is pointed more upward than the Anaconda.
@@TerryBenton It's a general difference. The guns are fine. It's just a detail for people who try to guess if It's a Python or an Anaconda they saw in a game or a movie
@@SpaceBethC131 right. I usually notice everything. I did not notice that. The old anaconda and python were light years apart when it came to the hammers. I actually compare them in another video
Can that bar code be polished out of the frame without leaving a noticeable difference in the finish? My 460 and 500 Smiths have those hideous looking things.At least Colt never put a Hilary hole in the frame for the guns to be disabled with a key like S&W did. I bought a 2 1/2" Python a couple of weeks ago and its ten day waiting period will be over on Mon. or Tues.of next week,M.L. King day doesn't count in the 10 day countdown and neither do week ends! Thanks Washington Democrats!!!
Your videos on these two models are excellent and very detailed. Thank you.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching
Those babies are worth evey bit of their M.S.R.P
Yes they were. Thank you for watching
Umm he didn't do a safety check on the barrel.
@mrfarts5176 you can clearly see the barrel is empty....
Another great common sense video thank you 👍
Yw. Thank you for watching
I fixed the crappy sights by putting a vice grip on the front and bending the sight and then hitting it back on with a hammer and its super tight now
Wow, that is a different approach. Thanks for watching
I just bought the anaconda, waiting for the 10th day
Did colt fix the issue with the rear sight on the newer production?
No. The sights on the new ones are terrible. They fir very loose. Order a Wilson Combat rear site

They are really awesome

Where did you get those anaconda grips??
A company called Boone Trading Company
Can't wait for the new blue python coming out
I have not heard anything about them. I was sorta expecting that this year but they announced the 4 inch Anaconda.
@@TerryBenton I email Colt every month..nothing concrete on a date but they're coming

My anaconda actually has more shine to it. Go buy a can of neve dull a d wipe both of them down with it. They will.tuen out nice
probably the difference between stainless and polished nickel
Own both, don’t like most colt guns but the snake series has some nice pieces
Yes they are really nice. Tha KS you for watching
Beautiful revolvers
Thank you
Were did you get the white grips?
I got them from. A place called Boone Trading Company online
@@TerryBenton is there a certain name for that grip
Good video, sad about sights aside they are a true investment ,take the Python for all around,"make my day" go with Anaconda. Thanx P.S. Tx.
Thank you for watching
awesome iron's. Have both.
Thanks. Congratulations on having both
My python dates from 1979 and still has the bluing that makes grown men cry. Old school rules!
I also have Older revolvers and you are right. They command alot more prestige however there is nothing wrong with the new Colt revolvers
@@thenegociater3387 sadly not the original but a nice hogue monogrip in Cherry rosewood

I am sure colt will produce a few in blue so to make old men continue to cry. ;-)
Men don't cry Boi. If a human cries it mean they a B!tch.
What barrel lengths are these pistols?

Thanks!
What barrel length do you recommend on the Python,
4.25” or 6”.
I have 2.5, 4, & 6” S&Ws
The anaconda is a 6 inch. The python is a 4.25 inch. The synthetic ivory grips are from a company out west. The python grips are Altamont
I own a Colt anaconda, 8 inch barrel, beautiful gun.
Very cool
also capable of taking buffalo bore Heavy .44 Magnum +P+ Ammo 340 gr. Hard Cast
Very true
I read, the anaconda will handle hotter loads than, Smith, or Taurus.
This is more than likely true due to its Beefy frame and large cylinder
It’s seem the Python has a higher hammer
I think they are about the same
@@TerryBenton
I have both. I kept trying to see an external difference between both.
It looks like the Python’s hammer is pointed more upward than the Anaconda.
@spacebeth2962 maybe so. I will.actually look.at them closer.side.by side
@@TerryBenton
It's a general difference.

Not making them in blue
Gary never made an anaconda In blue

Thanks Washington Democrats!!!
Yes. I did it in a video
This guy didnt safety check the barrel.
Please go watch other videos. Fo not waste you time with someone as wrecklass as me.
A few weeks ago I got the Python 6". Today I got the Anaconda 6". Everything posted here is the truth. These revolvers are worth every penny.
