After years of collecting S&Ws and Rutgers, I just acquired my first Colt last year. Now I know what all the fuss is about. They really are extraordinary revolvers.
The best thing about the new Colts is the trigger. Extremely smooth! Also the Kimber KS6. The Kimber and the Colt have the nicest 357 trigger.
Which colt did you get? Did you get a python?
I've tried Kimber and this Colt has the trigger pull beat hands down. I pick up my 3” tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy.
I stick with the Ruger ! I shoot a lot of 357 , that colt is going to break ! A lot of problems with the old pythons and the new ! 686 or GP100 for me
Been carrying my 4.25" Python in a 1791 brand OWB holster loaded with Hornady critical defense .357 ammo as my primary carry gun for about 2 months now. Surprising how fast I've gotten used to the carry rig and such a sweet shooting gun. Wearing a buttoned shirt untucked and it completely hides the gun. I used to carry a Glock 19. With the Python and a couple of Bianchi speed strips for spare ammo and I feel better prepared now than I ever was with the Glock. The Python is such a sweet high class CCW.
Outstanding demonstration of the new 3" Python! I have had both 4" & 6" old school Pythons. I could never afford the 3" old school ones because of how much they cost! So I saw one of the new 3" Pythons for sale at the local gunshop just like yours and bought it! That was yesterday and I have to wait the 3 or 4 day waiting period! I am excited to be able to take it home after wanting a 3" for so long! After watching your video I am more impressed than I was with it! My Dad was a WW2 Marine Raider so I appreciate your service!
Great double action shooting. And that’s the way a revolver should be shot . Please keep bringing us more revolver reviews .
I thought the same thing. Damn fine shooting
shooting a double action revolver "single action" is MUCH better.....lighter trigger pull......
Tell you what I see. An entertaining and informative video from somebody who knows something about revolvers (rare among the internet jockeys). Love your enthusiasm. And son, you can shoot some.............yes you can
I have a 1980 6" Python and it looks like your new 3" is just as accurate. That was some nice shooting for offhand double action. They are beautiful guns.
Enjoyed the video, honest and first I have seen on 3 inch range review. Well done thanks for going the extra mile.
Awesome gun and a super video, sir. I appreciate the time you took and depth you covered it. Great shooting, too.
I'm afraid I'm now convinced to buy one.
Thank you for your service.
This is a great video! I held this gun yesterday at the local store and damn if it ain't the best revolver I've ever held. That's a great day at the range, keep em coming!
Great video! Just discovered your channel and I am wondering why it took this long. Really enjoyed your presentation, felt like we ran into each other at the range and was just talking guns all day. Will defiantly be checking out your other videos.
Nice video. I love your enthusiasm! Plus a very nice gun.
Just found your channel. Nice commentary and nice shooting. And a beautiful revolver. Thank you.
Finally a shooting video with the new 3" Colt Python. Thanks for braving the cold to bring us another fantastic video. I just picked up a 3" to go along with my 4.25" Python and can't wait for the weather to warm up.
I did the same, got both the 4.25 and the 3 now. My old 1981 is a 6 inch nickel.
So nice to actually see a video with a guy who actually knows what he’s talking about
Humbled and really appreciate that but always learning.
oh hell yeah. I just bought one today. great review sir!
Enjoyed the video and some damned fine shooting. I had a 3" model 65 S&W I used to shoot like that before my eyes got old. That same gun will probably be my next new gun purchase.
Another solid video. Thank you. These new revolvers from Colt look outstanding. Would be real nice to have some availability at reasonable prices of the .357 & 44 mag.
Beautiful Colt and great shooting!
Outstanding review!
Excellent review....going to pick one up tomorrow that I saw in my local gun store! Semper Fi.
Nice review. Three cheers for Matt's bullets. They are top stuff.
Excellent review and good shooting! Thanks.
Great review, first one I've seen comparing different loads. Stay safe, back the Blue.
I put a pair of vintage Herretts stocks on my new Python. Beautiful review. The thicker stocks are a game changer for me.
The double action trigger on the 3" Python is amazing
Just got me the same exact revolver! Picking it up today! Yay!
Good shooting! Hoping to pick up a 3" soon. I appreciate the fact that you actually fired the revolver in DA at defensive ranges. There are a ton of videos of people constantly running SA/DA revolvers in SA almost exclusively. On a 3" gun it is a must to have a good DA trigger. You made it look easy 👍
beautiful gun and you shoot very well, man!
This was a great review!!! Thanks very much for helping me make a good decision 👊
Great presentation. Thanks for the video. I know how much work goes into making these videos and yours is multi camera to boot. Glad to see the 3' having no problems. I had some problems with my 6" but Colt made it right. My 4" has been flawless.
Thank you MVD so do you have an early model Python?
@@Dayattherange I have a 1971 6" nickel that I bought to pass on to my grandson but I haven't fired it. That's up to him when he becomes the owner. I just keep it in the safe and polish it with Rem wax from time to time to keep it rust free.
Very nice review. Great shooting too. Thank you! I have the 4.25" 2020 Python and I love it.
SUBSCRIBED
Awesome review. Thank you so much!
Great video, great review, beautiful gun
Nice presentation! Thanks!
If it's like the old Colts, if you pay close attention, pulling the trigger in double action the cylinder is still rotating as the hammer falls. They work well.
Great review. Made my laugh on my lunch break. Thanks!
subbed
Saw them in my local shop and man they are beautiful. Picking one up for sure.
That is a beautiful revolver. 3" is about perfect.
I’m a smith fan but I love the colts too. But I love the video, love your enthusiasm for the gun. We can all relate!
God bless and thanks for sharing!
Beautiful firearm ! Currently don’t have a new model but do have a 1996 4 inch brushed stainless. Hopefully one day I’ll get a new model and see how it does. Have a Blessed Day
Amazing accuracy and shooting.
Awesome gun!! Beeing a S&W enthisiast I must recognize that this 3" Colt Python is as good and sturdy as the 4" Smith Model 27!! I Will go for both of them!!Thanks for sharing!!
5in target, 3in barrel, 25yards, .357. All on target…..he says I need more practice. Sure… but credit where credits is do, that’s some good shooting, Hats off. I am now a follower of this channel great video!!!!
*where credit is due*
I was on the fence about this one but now because of this video I'm a believer and will be getting one, thank you for a great video

First time viewer. Great video. Used to own a Colt Anaconda 44 in 6". Going to buy the 3" pynton next.

Nice !!! I love 3” barrel revolver
Mine was built in 1958 with that amazing blue finish
Great video brother
I’m getting this one soon. Pretty stoked fam
Has to be the 6” for me. Love mine! Would like to get my mom a 4.25” soon
Nice review. Sir, you are a damn good shooter. Semper Fi !
Excellent shooting by the way. I favor a 3" in a carry revolver. May have to look for one....great review as per your norm.
Excellent shootin’ and fun video, thank you and subbed
Beautiful gun. I want one!
1976, Las Vegas, Nev. We had a competition firing for law ebforcement. I remember talking with a State Trooper who carried a Colt 357, 5 inch barrel. The subject was about double action in S & W and Colt revolvers. The trooper told me how Colt double action became smoother with firing. Smiths don't really smooth out. He let me dry fire his revolver. I had years of experience with S&W revolvers and I was really impressed with the Colt.
Excellent video and information, thank you.
Thanks Gumby
Nice review, thanks!! Great shooting!!
Thanks AJ
Great video 👍
Great video I got the 6 and 3. Trying hard to find that 4.25. Your a hell of a shot! Keep up the good content
You got what Travis are you kidding me NICE!!!!!
Great demonstration, thank you.
Thank you it is really fun
GREAT review!!!!!!!!!!
Nice gun, nice shooting, and a nice review!
One of those may be on my radar!
Paul you burning day light my friend "SHOULD BE" on your radar.
Excellent video, thank you Sir
Thank you Mikey appreciate it.
Sweet shooting all in the 10 ring!!!
I saw one of these in the gun shop the other day and I knew I had to have one. The three inch barrel seems just right. Another great video sir.
Thank you much Max, there is something about the lines of the 3inch that makes it the Queen of the Prom.
@@Dayattherangequestion would this gun be a good first good I’m super interested in revolvers and I think this colt python is beautiful would you recommend it for a first time gun owner obviously with some training
DATR, Pick up mine on Saturday. Great vid. //ji
I has an original Colt Python 3 inch blue never fired it but stupid ( that's me) trades the revolver rare to find now and extremely expensive had the smaller dark wood grips too. Today I'm looking at the new 3" Snake or the 3" S&W Carry Comp. I carried a 6" Colt Python Blue .357 on duty many decades ago. Extremely accurate. Excellent very informative review.
Great video - thank you brother!
Thank you Coderedjones
Pretty good- answered some of my questions and helped me make up my mind! I like the old hammer style better...Thanks hey...
Great shooting
I’m happy with mine.
congrt bro you bought worlds finest revolver good choice
Congrats Marine! You may like my Colt Detective Special vids
I was seriously debating getting either the S&W 629 44 magnum or 627 357 magnum performance center snub. Until my LGS had a 3" Python sitting in the cabinet...
From the moment my hand wrapped around the grip I was hooked. Absolutely beautiful gun, she followed me home soon after.
S&W will have to wait a little while lol
Just got a new 4". Great pistol 😊
Great video
I just got one Saturday....it's beyond awesome!!!!!
Congrats!
Great video and danged fine shooting here! (Of course, the Marines don't turn out any bad shooters, and I mean that in the most sincerest of ways). When I was shooting on rifle and pistol teams back in the late 70's and 80's, (local NG Artillery here in Oklahoma), our unit's "first-shirt" was our team captain. He was a top-notch, true-blue, 1st Marine division A**-kicker that could just drill with any weapon you gave him. Really great guy and we had a lot of fun burnin powder together for a decade.
I just so happened to pick up one of these lil" 3" units couple days ago new in the box from one of the shops I haunt. Took it out yesterday and lemme tell ya, for a guy that's been a dedicated S&W carrier all his life, I am seriously impressed! Like you say, the lock-up is phenomenal on it, ZERO Movement!! (As my dad used to say, "tighter than dick's hatband"). I took a course decades ago from a man that built and armored guns for a living and on-board ship in WW-II, I can slick up a smith or a 1911 right nicely, but this Colt Python outta-the-box, man, it's a dream, and I can see yours is too. I gotta admit, I was skeptical after seeing the issues that were cropping up on the first gen new releases a couple years back and was really stand-offish about getting mine. But I can say now, it appears I'm gonna be holster shopping for the next couple days. I'll be featuring my 3" and the 4" head to head in a new video on my channel hopefully next weekend. Thanks for all the good video work you do, I get a "large-charge" outta them for sure.
Brad thank you for the encouragement. I am sure the snake will provide you with a long life of fun.
Nice grouping on the head shots!
After the first one I would have packed up and called it a day. It wasn't going to get any better
Beautiful pistol for sure . Try the Ruger sp10 also.
Get a new 3in a few weeks ago, beautiful annd smooth.
Nice review, love the enthusiasm! I have the 6” model, it was my first revolver. I’m a lady new to the hobby. I like the compact size of 3”, just unsure if I could handle recoil of .357 mag through it compared to my 6”. Got a new subscriber!
Madam, perhaps shooting .38 +P ammo in the Python would strike a balance between pawer and manageable recoil. The Weight of the Cold would mitigate the recoil, yet you would have more power than a .38 Special. --Old Guy
That comment of mine should read, "...weight of the Colt..." Great typing, Ed! --Old Guy
beautiful!
Great Review.
Thanks Sandog
Sweet! Are the stock grips speed-loader friendly?
You have to love the brass scavenging vultures in the background.
😁
AWESOME GUN!
Good shooting.
Really beautiful
Awesome gun
Nice shooting, nice revolver
Thank you, I remember this like it was yesterday I just had to get out of the house man was it cold.
My Dream gun
The old grips were beautiful, but very soft and susceptible to damage. W/ very sharp checkering. Fired my old 6" off the bench and chipped the grip. Just got the new 4.25" PYTHON and am not disappointed. Like the old rear strap serrations and beavertail hammer spur but...what the heck! Only thing I would change, think the ejector rod could stand to be 1/4" longer.
