They'll be available in 4.25 and 6 inch, 357 mag of course.
Now, this part might upset some. This is growing on me. The old ones were either that deep royal blue or nickel. Fairly sure it was nickel, anyway. These will only be available in stainless. For now. I prefer blued for the python, but considering these are a fraction of what the old ones cost.... I think I can live with that.
Not to mention, they have some improvements that on them which I find fairly compelling. The front sight can be replaced and is interchangeable with existing sights from their other revolvers (incoming tritium!) and the rear sight is adjustable. That said, the trigger mech is different. It has 14 fewer parts than the old ones, but these are said to be stronger and equal to or better than the old ones.
Don't be shocked if I cheat on my v8 swap funds when these come out. I must have a Python.
It's kind of odd. This is the only Colt gun I get all wetted up over. I love 1911s and AR15s, esspecially my Kimber Raptor 1911 and my Vietnam era lookalike AR15, but tbh I don't really consider those general guns as colt guns, not when everyone and their mother sells an AR15 or a 1911 of some kind.
Heck, I don't even like Colt. I find I can get a better gun for less or the same price as a Colt. But this Python..... My precious.... Must have!
