I'm just old school enough to think that a new $1500 Python shouldn't need a trigger job. That a nice crisp trigger job was one of the reasons the gun cost $1500 to begin with. This. C'mon, man, the imbecile Democrat in office isn't Jimmy Carter, its a different clown. It's 2022, $1500 bucks doesn't buy a Buick anymore. If a man wants an action job, then so be it. A trigger and action job is the easiest, least expensive, gun-smithin' you can get done. What's different between that and everybody pulling their factory Remington 700 triggers to replace 'em with a TriggerTech or Timney, before even shooting 'em? I have both a new Python and Anaconda, and, personally, I find the triggers on both acceptable. You do you.

To no one in particular, I think it's called a difference of opinion. It's not a big deal.

Not following this thread, so sorry if this has already been mentioned.
The reason for the heavy SA pull on the Python is CA and MD drop tests. That is what they need to do to pass the test. Sucks, but they have to live in the real world and make revolvers that will sell in their biggest markets.

So CA and MD are Colt's biggest markets for the Python? Colt's marketing strategy is to muck up the trigger pull for 48 other states and the rest of the free world to satisfy the CA and MD drop test requirements?

It has to pass the drop test with the hammer cocked?? No one carries a double action revolver that way.

Colt's marketing strategy is to muck up the trigger pull for 48 other states and the rest of the free world to satisfy the CA and MD drop test requirements? CA is the biggest market for everything, they have nearly 40 million people. In 2014 (or was it '15?) I was at a lunch with the then CEO of S&W, and he informed me that California was 39% of S&W's total sales. You can't ignore that. So I'm basing my statement on what he shared with me. If CA means that much to S&W, it's likely Colt is in a similar situation. After all, Colt doesn't really have any handguns that are NOT on the CA list. So Colt may even get more of their share from CA (again, speculation but I'm betting I'm not far off).

Just did 7 weeks of radiation hell and dealing with some f'd up latent side effects. Not very tolerant of douchebags trying to rain on somebody else's parade right now.
