New Pythons

Good video but I'd like to see a real world review.

I'll do one when I get mine. IMO this is good news plus the fact that I pre-ordered one of the first ones and haven't been notified tells me I won't be getting one with these issues, hopefully.
I like the fact colt has been up front and admitted to having some problems and has taken the complaints seriously.
 
I haven't shot one of the new ones but did get a chance to handle one at the 2020 SHOT Show. It was very nicely finished, the grips are attractive, lockup was tight and unlike some new Colts I've handled in the past the trigger pull was very smooth for a production gun. I know some of the early ones have had a few function glitches but as long as those were an anomaly people will probably be quite happy with them. Unfortunately I just can't justify a $2200-2300 price tag for a gun that, for all intents and purposes, will do nothing better than my S&W 686 which is only a little more than 1/3 the cost. The Pythons might be marginally better in terms of appearance but for that kind of money a person could buy a nice 686 PLUS a good quality 1911. Maybe I'll rethink this if the price ever drops out of the stratosphere but until then I'll be going Pythonless.
