My local gun shop had one of the new Pythons for $1249 a few weeks ago. Happily I am not a Colt fan or my visit might have been even more expensive than it was. Not even Colt SAA? C'mon, man, every handgunner needs a Colt SAA in their stable. To be fair, every handgunner should have a Colt Snake gun in their arsenal too.

I passed as I prefer to buy a proper Smith of old for the same price.

I bought a 4.25". I figure if I don't like it, I should be able to make or buck or two or worse case, break even on it. I have not handled the new ones.

I came very close to pulling the trigger when I got the email. I don't receive their emails, but I would have been tempted myself.

Mine arrived today and I see nothing wrong with it. I've had plenty of new guns with fit and finish issues that were not sold as blemished. If you want a new Python, below wholesale by the way, this is a deal.

Oicked up my blem today. I can't find the blem? I'm not surprised. I've bought blem bullets, brass, and AR parts for years. Only one time did I ever see a possible blem. They're not marked so it's hard to tell what they saw.

They're not marked so it's hard to tell what they saw. The Buck Knife factory is not far from me and offers an excellent tour. At the end of the tour they offer various knives to include blems. I bought one of their Skinner's for no other reason than I have always wanted one and it was priced right. They handed it to me and there was a small "pointer" sticker pointing to the apparent blem. I could not see it and am fiddling with the knife as I type and still have not found it.

Tried to like these but handle an actual true old colt and compare the actions you'll be extremely disappointed,they're on par with being a polished up modern s&w and we know how their qc is anymore. I remember reading when these came out how they were bragging about how they were able to make the action cheaper which made it cost them less to make sacrificing the action feel.what a great selling point LOL.
