Sounds like there might be an issue, but I’m buying one anyway even if I have to send it back a time or two That's mighty big talk from a guy named Boatanchor. Just kidding.

Yep, it's a real shame. Colt has been making revolvers since the 1830s. You'd think they would know how to get it right by now. They let most of their double action revolver people go during the Clinton administration. Hard to get that culture back within a company once you let it go. Well you poor old soul you have no idea about this new action and how it is made and then assembled into the sourced parts. It was employee error. Well intentioned just not going into further detail.. In time you will see that this information is spot on.  Carry on!

One mistake out of thousands of pistols can result in a viral video that can ruin a reputation for years. If an error is "well intentioned" then it's best to get the facts out rather than let rumor rule.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Therefore the revolver is more Trooper than Python. We already new itvwas a QC error, a costly error on a new release $1500 revolver

It would seem to be reasonable to expect that QC would be in complete overkill mode when a new product like this is introduced wherein the initial buzz is going to have a huge impact on success. Or maybe not.

Seems to me that way.

I'm good with my original... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/jMJvehp.jpg)

That's nice. Out of the four or so Pythons I've had, none have been stainless or nickel. All Royal Blue.

Completely different and better than the original. You see I have both.

I believe the original rotated the cylinder. The new one is totally different as to the point other than the vent rib barrel it isn't a Python at all but a different revolver
Misfires and not rotating the cylinder dam sure isn't better

Everything else aside it IS a Python because Colt says it is. Whether it is better or worse than the originals will be up for debate

Perception is reality. Any marketing person at Colt should know that. As someone noted earlier in this thread, this is a Mustang: ![[Linked Image from img.jamesedition.com]](https://img.jamesedition.com/listing_images/2018/12/20/08/56/44/250a397a-6e66-445e-b88a-fc5e3a0edcdc/je/1040x620xc.jpg) And according to Ford, this is also a Mustang: ![[Linked Image from hemmings.com]](https://www.hemmings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2012/07/1978FordMustangII_01_700.jpg) But to people who appreciated the first one, the second one is more properly referred to as "a hollow imitation of a Mustang". Maybe Colt could have been honest and just called this the Python Mark II.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

The best observation of this thread so far is analogous to the Ford/Chevy debate.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.
