Colt is doing it. 2020- New Pythons! 6 Inch and 4.25 Inch

Priced about right. Retail means nothing. One can probably get one for around $1200.00--1400.00 They look Great! Question is: How do they shoot?

Ok so my LGS had one in display. not for sale yet but display trying to create buzz. I fondled it and it was pretty awesome!!! I want one. They said it would be $1299 though...

It was really nice.

Caleb 01-04-2020 02:41 PM

$1299 is not bad if it’s as good as first reports say it is.

Aw, hell. That wasn’t on my list of purchases I wanted to make in 2020.

DrHenley 01-04-2020 03:29 PM

So now I have a New Year's resolution. Get a Python! :D

And then, I can FINALLY stop kicking myself over not buying the last NIB Python in town back in 1978 when I had the chance. I went cheap and got a Security Six instead. Sold it within months.

Yeh, that's what I'm thinking as well

I agree. $1299 is not bad if it's as good as it seems to be! Hell, even $1499 is not "Excessive" IMHO. Modern CNC Machining does have some advantages! :)

Phil, did it have a nice action?
I not only want one, I'll have one! IF I can find one! This may just be Colt going all out to save itself, and that may benefit us. We know they are capable of building some fine wheel guns! :D

What barrel length

Since it's not going to be a concealed carry gun, I want a 6".

I'll probably wear it deer and hog hunting and use it at close range if the opportunity arises. Right now I have a Super Blackhawk Hunter for that. Hell I'd trade the SBH for the Python in a hearbeat!

Caleb 01-05-2020 12:04 PM

Yep.... 6” or even an 8” would be my choice!

I have handled old school versions and this felt really good like them. Trigger was nice, crisp, maybe a little heavy but you know that can be helped. I was really liking it. I didn’t get to mess with it much but I thought it was very well done.

sdmc530 01-05-2020 01:06 PM

It had 6” barrel and it was just right

Yeh, 6" would be my choice as well and I'd bet that'd be the one that sells the most too.

Caleb 01-06-2020 10:27 AM

I’d hold off for the Royal Blue version (if they make one).

Hard to find too! Some out there, but overpriced

Really? I don't see a way to Pre-Order. Got a link? I see where you can get a notification when in stock is all.

You are correct, my mistake. The “Reserve” order is for the new Ruger 57 pistol. Not the Colt. Bummer

There's some available here, overpriced though:rolleyes: $500.00 over Retail, but He HAS some. I think I'll patiently wait till there are more around! $1995.00 + $50.00 shipping.

My thoughts exactly, there's a price to be paid to be the first one in the neighborhood to have one.

I will not pay $500.00 Over Retail. No way. I'll wait a while!
( I REALLY want one, but not that bad!)

OOPSIE!

Hickock45 found an issue with the new Python.

I don't think it's that serious. The pawl is probably hanging up due to tight tolerances. Simple fix...

At any rate, I wouldn't carry this for self defense anyhow, just for hunting and plinking. If someone were to have to depend on it for self defense, then that is cause for worry.

...... all the more reason not to be the first one in the neighborhood to have one, just like anything else, give them time to get the bugs worked out.

Agreed! Rule #1. Don't Rush to buy a New Release Firearm! :D
Wait a little bit. I think Colt will get that likely Minor Issue Resolved.
Maybe a Recall? Depends on how many are affected.
It would be Terrible for business if they didn't!
I STILL Want One!
