Getting the Python right... - 07/24/20
So picked this Python up last year, but really haven't shot it much; but she does shoot! Unfortunately, being an OLD factory trained gunsmith on the Python, I recognized immediately the DA action just wasn't what it ought to be; definitely not up to factory standards and probably shouldn't have left the factory like it is. Well turns out, it didn't.
Once I got inside her (yeah, she's kinda sexxy), I found the cylinder bolt was a replacement that was improperly fit, which caused a serious "hitch" in the action mid stroke (more sex talk...). Well the good news is, I don't have to try to find any parts... but cleaning it up takes some work. While I was in there, I cleaned her all up, and then re-formed the V spring to give it an OH SO SWEET double action pull that far exceeds what comes from the factory.
Now I'm happy.
