I bought a new Colt Python a few weeks ago, and it’s very nice. It had a few hundred rounds through it now, so…. The DA trigger is nice, but it’s a different action than a S&W L frame. The Python wants to be pulled all the way back, while the L frames sort of “snap’ at the halfway point. I honestly don’t know which I prefer. If you’re shooting bullseye at long distances, the Python’s SA break is clearly inferior to the Smith’s. The Python breaks in SA at 5lbs 5oz, while the L frame Smiths are around 3.5-4lbs. The Python shoots well at long distance, but that’s something that buyers might want to be aware of.

Two different guns and in all honesty hard to compare due to the different styles and ways of manufacturing. In the early 80's, when the 686 came out, I would have picked the 686, but nowadays, I don't like any S&W revolver since the early 2000's, I've had some, but they do need tons of MIM removed....

Ken is a great instructor!!

Yamil, First, I wish to commend your humble approach to your video on the New 2020 Colt Python. You can call me at today I am around if you have time and interested. Appreciation to Ken for his tips for revolver, however he did double stage the DA during shooting. Your straight thru DA shooting was refreshing. Most Pythons were not out of time as anyone who understands the action knows that following thru with the trigger finger locks the cylinder tight against the bolt and in alignment with the barrel by design. Tinkers who installed trigger stops retarded the rotation of the trigger, whereby not allowing the hand to rotate the cylinder in alignment with the barrel as design intended. Any proper timed, alignment barrel/cylinder at hammer impact to firing pin will remain that way for thousands of rounds. I know , because I shot thousands of proof rounds in many guns properly timed and 10k's of rounds with only one adjustment to the original hand to my personal Python originally assembled in the early 70's. Unfortunately some of the guns assembled in the 90's and later were not properly assembled as designed. If both guns were on the table and I was able to check certain attributes, I would choose the old gun, just to demonstrate it could be blue printed to feel like or improved from the 2020 Python. When first hearing of the new Python to be and intro of previous OVER the last two years, I knew that the business plan from cost analysis, to product redesign, would likely incorporate proven CNC manufacturing processes. However, in order to retain the iconic design of the most exquisite revolver produced to date, certain physical characteristics MUST BE RETAINED. SUCH AS VENT RIBBED BARREL/WITH UNDERLUG, IDENTICAL GRIP/ FRAME APPEARANCE, ADJUSTABLE SITES, AND CHOICE OF BARREL LENGTHS. The addition of interchangeable sites with screw is not new, however, at the least ( although King Sights of California) should give credit to the late Dan B. Wesson. The retention of the leaf spring was an excellent call to potentially give the desired trigger response SA/DA I hope that the QA/QC demonstrates the potential winner quality of investment to longevity of performance. While I would test one to the limit, thousands of guns,shooting thousands of today's .357 defense loads should reveal design for manufacturing achievements and/or ferret out design or manufacturing faults. Actual execution of a design is one level. LONG TERM RELIABILITY IS YOUR REMEMBERED LEGACY. I REMAIN HOPEFUL FOR THE COLT FIREARMS EMPLOYEES TO RISE TO THE OCCASION AND REESTABLISH A MARQUE HELD IN THE HIGHEST ESTEEM BY THOSE WHO DEMANDED QUALITY. . Do not be so hasty to sell your old Python, all though there were thousands, no more will be made like the good ones. Check with Frank Glenn, He still knows how a Python is suppose to function. After he is done, it can last a lifetime with reasonable care. Remember if you drive your car or truck as fast it will go without proper maintenance, it's reliability is diminished severely. If you use reasonable care it will travel hundreds of thousands of miles. ( I drive Toyota's made in USA) An 8 or 10 " gun with appropriate scope mounts for hunting. Demand is always there for boutique runs of firearms. S&W , Ruger, Sig, CZ, and others have done likewise. Sincerely Jerry Moran aka Python Surgeon ( NA)

Glad you liked it, Ken is a great source of information.

Oh it's such a pleasure to hear Mr. Ken Hackathorn speak on guns and shooting technique - I think I am sold on the new Python and I'm a young guy who hates anything new...Wish he offered shooting course or even made shooting videos for sale..

Double action revolvers are some of the best ways to learn to shoot. You have to learn true trigger control through the pull and that makes all the difference in every other platform.

There are thousands of videos like this,but this one is far at the top, due to realistic explanations and procedures during the shooting secions. The experience of 30 years or so, above all is visible.

S&W Model 27, a much more robust revolver with near comparable out-of-the-box action to the Python. Yes, the Python is a bit sexier but I believe my blued 3 inch M-27 is right in there with it.

I love Colts, but they're Cadillacs and S&W are like a reliable pickup. A friend was a Sheriff's deputy for almost 30 years and carried a stainless 686 for most of that. He switched to an H&K when the dept. went from 9mm to something heavier.

Thank you! Great information.

1980s, my older brother suggested we go by new pistols, as we we just old enough. Me, kind as poor gets a Ruger 6" revolver, brother gets Nickel 6" Python.... many great trips to desert for shooting. Little time passes, I get the Python, lots more trips for me (dirt bike). Python was there for 20+ years. We even called it Monte.... It is back home, and the new iteration is tempting. I would get 3" as maybe best all around length. Revolvers have qualities unique, and the rimed 38/357 is easy to reload. I like revolvers.
