The suggested retail price on the new Colt Python is $1,499... believe they came out at first of year! Good luck finding one
Beautiful wheel gun for sure.

I have owned 3 over the years; sold them all. They will never have as good a double action trigger as a good Smith. Less than zero interest. Save your money

I like my S&W66. The old Blue Colts and Smith's were probably as good as a handgun gets. Stainless is more of a utilitarian finish. Carry, shoot, hunt workhorse type of finish.
I have not seen one yet but the price is a turn off to me.
I say if you really want it go for the Python. I always thought they were cool back in the day too.

I've always wanted a S&W 586 (or 686) but you rarely see them in the gun stores (especially now).
Maybe someday...

I don`t know how I`d ever be able to pull this off but I desperately want to. As for the knocks on the trigger, that`s what a gunsmith is for. |

I think the advantage Smith's have is there are a lot more of them. So there are more good pistolsmith that know them.
Really though who does not want a classic S&W29?

Nah, it is the mechanics of the design. You just can’t get a Python there. There was a reason every single major competitor in Action pistol built their competition gun on a K frame; they could afford to use whatever they wanted and go to any gunsmith out there. The auto eventually took over but until the the K frame was king
