He grew up in a family that collects Colts...it amazes me the obscure stuff that guy pulls out of his head (or ass). Honestly, I think he needs some kind of 12 step program...

Very nice!

I can't seem to look away from the grips. Nice pieces of wood there!!

Ironwood?

Thanks guys! Nope, that’s some exhibition grade french walnut. My dad and I had the pair built back a few years ago for us. Started out as 7 1/2” Redhawks that we sent to Rob Rowen to make the grips and then from there they went to Hammilton Bowen for his Kodiak package. The grips really brought the whole project together and took them to the next level I think. I’ve got a friend that’s on the waiting list now with Rowen to have some grips built for his Kodiak, and I’m on the list again too to have a set made for my Freedom Arms 97 22 LR.

I went to a local gun store hunting for a 3” python. They had a 6” only and a 3 or 4” (looked like a 4 but employee said 3” barrel) king cobra. Both new production. Counter dude says they only make a 3” king cobra . I think he’s FOS though. I liked the Python but the KC was meh.

Congrats, so cool do be able to go down to the LGS and buy a Python again.

Did not know that, thanks, My research said mine was made 1981

SAA

One difference I’ve heard about, not confirmed is that the new pythons have some MIM internal parts. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes internals are MIM, and that's not a bad thing.

My favorite is a glass smooth Officer Model Target heavy barrel in 38 spl with authentic Roper grips

OMG!!! That's RIGHT up my alley! Beautiful revolver.

Yours are nicer than mine, but I have two of those plus a 7.5” in factory form. They are my favorite revolvers. All three have had complete action jobs including terrific triggers and Bowen’s Rough Country rear sights. The only thing missing are those great grips. I did pull those horrible Pachmayers off of the 4” guns and installed some nice wood factory grips.

Are those grips Rowan or Fishpaw? Just read your previous post, I see that you state Rowan.

WOW! That’s a winner for sure. Classic beauty.

Please explain how that’s good, or at least not bad. After I had a hard failure of an MIM part on a carry pistol, I won’t have one in a gun of mine.

Good grief. C'mon, man, are you just trolling? This argument has been beaten to death over and over, and over, on every gun/shooting/outdoor forum ever.

Stick to your Dan Wessons, I guess.

I’m getting the itch to buy one of the Colt King Cobra 3 inch models.

Simple question and observation. Maybe unruffled your feathers, no shot at anyone, on my part anyhow.
