Tagged for want!
Wholly Mary, mother of Gawd...the Italians are making a Python repop!? Count me in, in, in, all the fricken way in!
Im sure these will be "OK" but i have to admit... i recently picked a colt python and all i can say is wow! Its the smoothest action by far i have ever had the pleasure of using. Much nicer than i expected. I hope that these will come close.

I also recently purchased a near mint Python, and now I understand why they are viewed as «The best double action revolver ever made». Compared to the gunsmith tuned GP100 I just sold, the action is so much smoother and the trigger is to die for, and there is nothing more beautiful than the Colt Royal blue!
I doubt this kind of quality and craftsmanship could be replicated at a low cost since every parts were hand fitted by Colt master fitter just like a luxury watch, but with the modern CNC machines, it could bring the tolerances pretty close without too much fitting, resulting in a very good revolver, but it will never be a Python, that's for sure!
One interesting thing I read about the Pietta is that many internal parts could be interchangeable with the Python. This is a very good news for Python owner since most of the python parts are no longer available, so if replacement parts from Pietta are available, it could mean the difference between a 1500-2000+$ paper weight and a happy shooting Python!
I only hope the Pietta arrival won't have much effect on the Python's value.
"I only hope the Pietta arrival won't have much effect on the Python's value"
Will likely push it higher, from that picture above the Pietta doesn't look quite right, can't find the right words to express, it looks "similar" but it's certainly lacking "something".
Yes, and there is something about holding a piece of firearm history (and shooting it) than can never be replaced by a replica!
Pietta, the Norinco of Pythons!
Most complain about Norincos, but they have come along way.
Who's to say Pietta won't do the same.

Just kidding about Norinco, it's my pistol of choice when it comes to a 1911. Yes, they've come along way.
I have two BP Piettas which have an excellent fit and finish. They will make a Python proud!
