The New Colt Python Officially Unveiled

After a 2 weeks wait for delivery, Python 4,25" arrived.
Superb polishing, very nice short trigger.
I installed a front FO sight.
Be very careful upon removing the grip panels; two pins are imbedded on the right grip panel and a little removable plastic part goes through the bottom of the frame and protrudes both sides; very tight fit.

I gave both of mine a good clean today, it makes the beautiful polishing from the factory pops out. Obviously far from my now gone 1990 Ultimate Bright Stainless 6" Python but they are still very nicely polished.
 
Here's a few pictures for comparison.

My old 1990 Ultimate Bright Stainless Steel, this one is a real Ultimate BSS confirmed by Colt:
