2024 Blue Python

[armalitesheepdog]

Whats everyone thoughts here?

It looks to me like they got that old royal blue finish about right

 

[natdscott]

It looks to me like they [finally] got [the Python] about right[, even if it is about 60 years late]

Fixed!

Now, if the cylinder release went the right way, it would almost be a 586.

ETA: pretty pistola, though!

Looks nice but why does the 4 inch barrel have 3 vents instead of 2?

Oddly enough, Colt released photos of a 2 vent. Dunno if those were mock-ups or actual guns or what.

Kind of interesting...

I would rather it stay with the 2 vents on the 4 inch myself so it stays true to the original 4 inch guns.

Saw it today. It's nice.

I don't care for the stainless pythons.

This might get me to finally fill the revolver gap in my safe. I love the look of the old pythons and my dad has a couple original royal blue Colts from back in the day. But those are definitely "shoot a little and look at a lot" kind of guns. I may have to get one

The 3 vents close together is the 5".
Looks like crap.
Spaced farther on the 6", looks correct.

Much prefer the two vent.

This one looks oddly wavy on the sideplate like they over sanded it???



I must say (as a SW guy) that I am interested in a blued Python but the bluing needs to be near Turnbull quality.

Korth?

Korth?

I can afford a Korth....I can't afford the divorce that comes after.....

A lot more guys are in that same group than think they are, otherwise Big-D attorneys wouldn't have such nice shoes.

That's money well spent, Both times.

Taurus probably laid that track.

(Sort of back on topic? At least revolver adjacent?)

Lol, Colt does what everybody has been asking for for years and re-releases the blued Python, and now everybody is complaining about the vents?!? Poor guys can't win!

I thing the bluing actually looks pretty good. Hard to say for sure until I see one in person, though.

I had a bad experience with a Colt DA revolver in the early 90’s (Peecekeeper) misfiring and crappy reliability. However that was during supposedly that whole strike thing. That said I do like the looks and really really like Blued guns with wood (or wood looking) grips/stocks. I might be tempted on this especially if they do a blued 3”

You are absolutely correct.

Some folks are just observing specifics to me that isn’t complaining. The ones that really complain about price or whatever (the S&W 1854 rifle seems to be a price issue for a lot)

I guess those complainers could do it better and cheaper!!!!
