    I bought mine in Dec. 2021 and had zero issues with it. I've never shot a vintage one but I can't believe any differences in the trigger action are so big that people just write it off as junk. They're new guns versus guns that have been shot for years. I don't necessarily think it's a fair comparison. Also, according to several youtubers, the only part that is still handfit is the hand. Glad to see somebody actually acknowledging that its a terrific handgun. I love mine.

    I received the 6" version last year. The recessed crown and beefed up stainless steel construction are functionally gorgeous. After changing the sights (Wilson Combat gold bead front and 'U' rear) and the grips (Deer Hollow 85' repro of the originals that are flawless) I was happy with it. I've got about $2300 into it and ZERO buyer's remorse. It's currently my favorite firearm. I LOVE sending .357 158grains down range. I fire almost exclusively double action which has helped with my 9mm semi-auto accuracy. Mine is no safe queen. It's fired often.

    I have a 4.25" and a 3" Python and actually like it better than my older Pythons. The originals were basically target revolvers masquerading as service pistols. The often went out of time with heavy use whereas the new ones with their lock work will not. Beautiful and iconic as they are the new ones are stronger and more durable. Like you I added Wilson Combat sights on both mine and added Wilsons fiber optic front sights.

Just a few months ago I was at a Sheels and they had 5 older Pythons for sale.

    Now I shot some revolvers in my day and I really didn’t care to own one especially the ones with barrels 6inches or greater. However this colt with the 4.25 inch barrel is absolutely the best looking firearm I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I can’t wait to put 500 plus rounds through it. Just ordered early this week the price is on the expensive side but hey you get what you pay for.. anyway I’m excited to add her to my collection. Thanks for this informative video you’re doing a great job. Watch out new subscriber coming through.

    Great video! I commented on the last Python video you did, ( 2 of em -a 57 and 72) anyway here's something to make the collectors/white glovers faint- my 57 model belonged to my dad who was employed by Federal Services ( AEC) He bought it new but found the 6" barrel to be a problem for duty use( poked him in the ribs when sitting) so off it went to Tom and Roy's gun shop in Amarillo TX to get cut down to 4"(!!!!!) All went well except the old model underlings were bored almost to the end, which left a noticable hole at the end.Simple fix, shave down a 1911 spring plug , insert, and fix with a set screw. Collector value pretty much gone but a cool modification and still shoots amazing.

    I have a couple old Pythons, but also love my 2020 Colt Python. I did however send it off to a gunsmith and have the single action pull improved. Apparently in order to meet with California and Massachusetts's drop safe requirements they had to make the single action heavier. How they did that was when you pull the trigger in single action it goes back ever so slightly before it drops. The gunsmith did a little file work and corrected that slight move back before it drops. Sent mine off to TJ's Custom Gunworks. His shop is in, of all places, California.

    Both a dig and a kudo to Colt for the new Python. I got my new model Python this spring. So disappointed upon unboxing. The cylinder had almost 0.003" end shake; the single action trigger drew the hammer almost 1/64" to the rear before a heavy release; worst of all, the barrel was not aligned to the frame with the front sight visibly canted to the right. I called Colt and they issued an RMA and a prepaid shipping label. In less than five weeks the revolver was back in my hands with all issues addressed. End shake gone; barrel aligned; single action trigger still a bit heavy but with no creep. Colt did well by me. This one slipped through the QA cracks, but Colt made it right. Now it's the gun I thought I was buying and is one I can show off and brag about to my shooting buddies. BTW, it's wicked accurate. When I miss, it wasn't the gun's fault.

    • @TerryBenton
      @TerryBenton  ปีที่แล้ว

      That is ashame stuff like that happens but it does. The hard trigger pull in single action is due to the fact that they put heavier springs in them after the first run. Apparently they were having soft primer strikes on certain ammo in double action. Glad to know they fixed it and you are happy with it.

    Nice video. I have the 2020 6 inch Python and the new 6 inch Anaconda for a few years and few hundred magnums down range now. They are nice but they are also $900 standard production guns all day long. The Smith is just as good but Colt is riding on the name with the Python. The new ones are better in every way with few exceptions as you noted. No reason for that abomination of a rear sight, and the hammer spur could of easily been made the same as original. The new one won't beat itself out of time as easily as the original.

    @Shadowstep_Cuda ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I was looking to get a Colt Python as my first revolver and I was definitely influenced by Rick Grimes of the Walking Dead show. I went to the range last year to rent this gun and I shot it. A few times in double action I had a couple of light hammer strikes but I only used one type of .357 ammo brand (don’t remember the brand) and the Python I had shot was heavily used and probably purchased in the early 2020s year. After a lot of research and TH-cam reviews I realize they fixed alot of the problems they had on release. I still want to get one for myself but my only issue now is if I want the 4.25 inch or the 6 inch. I am learning towards the 6 inch. Longer sight radius and it’s the same barrel length that Rick Grimes used in the show too!

    • @TerryBenton
      @TerryBenton  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      They changed the leaf spring in them after the initial release. It made the single action a little bit harder but not too much. Since you are "leaning towards" theb6 inch and you like the walking dead I think your decision is made. Just buy the 6 inch you will not be disappointed. I hope this helps and thank you for watching

    Great informative video. I also watched your video, comparing the old and new. Not ever having an interest in collecting handguns, I only shoot them. Both practice and formerly competitive. Unfortunately I did own a beautiful 4" Bright Stainless Colt Python back in 1992, but sold it later that year. I had sent it to a famous Shooter/Gunsmith (Reeves Junken) back then and had a great action work done. With that gun, I shot my best Police Bullseye match score of (293 out of 300) I attribute it to the superb "Single Action" trigger. But still was not liking the "Double Action trigger.
    Being more interested with competing in PPC "Police Pistol Combat" matches, I was disappointed with its "Double Action" trigger.
    I didn't like it stacking near the completion of the DA pull. This was my reason for replacing the Python with a Smith & Wesson 67 "Combat Masterpiece" revolver which had a smoother "Double Action" trigger pull.
    Now that they have reworked some of the lockwork, I am contemplating purchasing a 3" model. Would you say the "Double Action is comparable to the S&W now? I would really appreciate your opinion.

    • @TerryBenton
      @TerryBenton  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I honestly would say they are very close. The new Colt is smoot amd even all the way through just like Smith and wessons are. The single action is a little heavier tha. The old ones due to then installing those heavier leaf springs for thr soft primer strikes. The double action is the money shot. Itnis hands down better than the old one. You can correct the lightness with a decent gunsmith. I honestly think you should go to the store and just pull the trigger on one. Let me know what you decide. I would love to hear it

    I absolutely love the Colt Python old and new. I owned one of the older ones back in the late 1970s it was blued. I no longer have it being as I was a huge Dirty Harry fan and traded it for the Model 29 44 Magnum. I'm not sorry for it but it sure would be nice if I had that back. Also in my law enforcement days I bought and sometimes carried the Colt Diamondback blued that pretty much looked like the python. When I got on with the Department I ended up trading the Diamondback for a Smith & Wesson 357 combat Magnum. I heard that Diamondback is a collector's item now. I also traded a Smith & Wesson model 14 which I heard is also a highly sought-after 38. It's just hard to know when to Hold'em and when to fold them. Haha of course for the price nowadays my go-to guns or the Ruger GP100 and SP101 357 Magnum. As much as I like the python I don't think you can get a better gun for the price t h a n a Ruger.

    I have two vintage Pythons. I think the new Pythons are homogenized a little. I think Colt should have copied the new Python to the letter with the vintage models but with new updated internals, 4 in barrel, old style hammer, stocks etc. I haven't shot the new Python yet looks like a great gun. Would like to have one. Old vs new different guns in some ways. I like Robert Blake's vintage two-tone Python in "Electra Glide in Blue".

    12:50 it was not one person on TH-cam....
    I had been saving up for this gun....
    I excitedly went to watch the vidoes of its release....
    There were nearly half a dozen well-known youtubers who had problems with theirs.
    Including one who documented his attempt at getting Colt to fix the problem only to discover that Colt had no way to fix any of the problems so they ignored him.
    Here are some of the youtubers in question below:
    Mind you, these are just people who had the problems & made a video WITH an audience.
    Golden Webb (the most well-documented of Colt's fuckery)
    Snow Lothar (Lots of problems & Colt refused to fix his gun)
    Hammer striker (gun wouldn't reliably run Winchester White box)
    Target Suite (A guy who worships his python but fails to recognize his sights not holding zero & light primer strikes to be a bad thing)
    Night wood guns (His video is on the Colt King Cobra & it was a shit show)
    Then i went down the rabbit hole of forums & videos & found that ALOT of king Cobras & other colt revolvers (2017 & up) had unforgivable quality problems..... Many of these guns out of the box had timing issues.
    That's not a small batch.....sir.....
    13:40 it was definitely not just the side plate being loose....
    By design, bad design the gun wouldnt work if the screw backed out even a lil.....
    This gun is made to fire magnum loads, the kind that may do this.....
    The other problem was the light primer strikes even when it did work causing unsafe delayed firing (very dangerous when the chamber is no longer aligned with the bore) & dud rounds.
    Colt lied & said it was only foreign ammo with hard primers but ive seen wiinchester white box fail to shoot......
    there was problems with the crown being gouged bad enough to effect accuracy...
    14:18 no, you DO NOT get that problem with ANY revolver.
    If revolvers couldn't shoot normal cheap ammo.....
    It'd have been a well-known issue & nobody would have batted an eye....
    It's not.....
    I have never in my life seen this outside of the 2020 colt python.
    I own 3 revolvers including a 1941 colt official police.
    14:40 No, you do hear about it when it does happen.
    Chris baker of Lucky gunner ammo is one example of his Ruger LCR not working due to defects.....
    Ruger fixed his problem right away, Colt gas lit its customers into thinking there was no problem or ignoring them.
    The LCR is $550 bucks, the 686 is $700is bucks & the GP100 is $650ish bucks....
    The colt python is $1,200 fucking bucks......
    I expect my fucking gun to be better made than a $150 dollar hi-point
    19:00
    You're joking, you made a 32 minute video gas lighting the people who had problems with this gun, claiming it wall just blown out of proportion..... AND YOUR PYTHON IN YOUR HANDS, OUT OF THE BOX COULD NOT HOLD ZERO?!?!?!?!!?!
    DUDE IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR YOUR PISTOLS SIGHTS TO COME LOOSE DURING NORMAL SHOOTING!
    Listen man im aware they fixed the problems since then.....
    Im aware you really like your gun & its an awesome gun
    But please dont flat out lie & act like oure reaction to the 1,200 dollar turd that was the 2020 python when it was first released was unjustified.

    Another great video! I bought one of the 2020 Pythons back in 2020 (paid MRSP and not one penny more). I also noticed the distinctly different style of hammer on the new Python vs the original. The New Python and New Anaconda have a very similar hammer, almost like Colt put the Anaconda style hammer on the Python. I kind of wish Colt would have kept the original beaver tail style of hammer on the New Python, but this takes nothing away from the gun at all. Maybe in the future Colt will offer a replacement hammer for the new models that have the beaver tail style end. Kind of like what S&W does, they offer a replacement target style hammer for their 686 you can order on Midway USA or Brownells.

    Best video Ive seen on the colt python.

    But I never knew what it was until recently..it was the Colt Python.
    My plan is to buy a new one next payday.
    Ive never been through a safety course or had any gun training because I never needed it.
    I use to go to the range twice a month..I carried a gun on me for years and never had any issues.
    I think if someone wants to go through a training course thats fine but it shouldn't be a requirement.
    Theres a new law in Washington state..effective January 2024.
    Before buying a firearm we have to show proof of completing a safety course.

I had 2 light primer strikes out of the 110 rounds. 1 during rapid fire and 1 just normal shooting. Do you think this was because of break in period? Or maybe the way I was shooting it?
