The New Colt Python Officially Unveiled
- Thread starter Harry Callahan
- Start date
Really looking forward to your photographs, and your detailed summary as well!!
thats almost exactly what i paid from bullseye
Bullseye Pre-Order was at $2199.99 plus tax, no? It comes down to $2310 all in with 5% tax and free shipping.
With SFRC's 15% off it would come down to ~$2150 all in, so $160 cheaper if my math is right.
Pics are now live!
Ok so initial thoughts...
As you probably all know the issues encountered with these new Pythons I knew exactly what to look for when I opened up the cases and handled these. I'm happy to say that they are both sound. No issues to report, all screws are tight, both front and rear sight are rock solid, the cylinder release latch operates flawlessly and is not loose at all.
What I find strange is that these two were shot from factory and by the look of it, Colt probably shot a dozen round through each before boxing them. I guess that if some units are shipped without both front and rear sight they obviously (I should guess) aren't shot from factory?
Oh and the best part...
They both have great trigger pulls. Slightly heavier in the 4¼".
Average is 4lbs 13oz SA & 8lbs 7oz DA for the 4¼" and 4lbs 7oz SA & 8lbs 2oz DA for the 6"
I'm wondering if these had some kind of tweak from factory when with the new updated mainspring, most are talking about a 5-6# SA and 10-11# DA pulls?

Looking for the initial Bullseye Pre Order thread initially posted in early Jan. it was one of the most lengthy 2020 Python thread on CGN. Looks like it was deleted recently, it was viewable last week IIRC. Anyone know what happened?

No idea. Very few Pythons were imported in the latest batch from a few weeks ago compared to the first huge shipment we got last April. Like the first batch, a lot more 4.25” Vs. 6” made it up here.
