Colt Python 3 inch- REVIEW

[@brandonvaughn1200]

the worst thing about the python is that every barrel length looks so good, its hard to choose

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

I know!

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

Dude, literally. Proportionally, I generally like 3 or 4 inch revolvers because the grip and barrel look pretty symmetrical, but these things look perfect from 3 inches to 6. I thought I would like the 4+ inch models for the extra vents, but the 3 inch looks so damn good 😅

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

@@TheOfficialCaseMade totally agree with you!

[@fearlessleader8623]

One of each it is then!

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

@@fearlessleader8623 I like that!

[@ironhorse127]

My very first revolver was a Colt Python, back in 1981. I was foolish enough to let it get away. Your Python is beautiful. Dont make the same mistake I did. Keep it forever.

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

sure thing!

[@rickhaller8399]

I've had mine about a week and I absolutely love it!

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

awesome!

[@alexduvelius5975]

Had mine for over a year. I’ve found my trigger smoothed over time. Also replaced with the wc rear and the gold bead and couldn’t be happier with those choices

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

I replaced to those too. Video coming soon on that. Stay tuned!

[@SldgeHammr]

Did you go with the Square notch or U notch for your rear sight

[@alexduvelius5975]

@@SldgeHammr I went u notch. Really catches the gold for me.

I picked up one identical back in January. I also have an Azula tan leather holster, im waiting for the fall/ winter months to carry it OWB with a flannel shirt. Thanks for sharing 🇺🇸

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

Nice! I will look into that holster.

[@YouT00ber]

I have a 4” Python & I love it and I do think the trigger is pretty good. I recently had a chance to get touchy feely time on an original Python & the trigger was waaaaaaaaay better. It was incredible, like I’ve never felt before.

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

nice!

[@Padre_Kalibre]

Got this last week. Tested it yesterday. I liked it so much I’ll get the 6 inch too when i get the money.

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

Good man!

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

@@hatchetjack1031 perfect. Was looking for a holster. Thanks!

[@sparky_-mf2cs]

The best trigger returns are the smiths. But you are correct the python felt strong. It actually surprised me since my king cobra is real light.

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

Indeed!

[@cjotths]

I conceal carry the 3inch with IWB holster. Carry a speed loader as well. Gun is not hard to conceal.

[@chrisstandingbear1947]

I agree on the grips. They look good but not enough texture and girth when shooting hot .357 loads, tends slip in my hand.

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

Yes!

[@multicamchannel]

Nice revolver man. I picked up a 4" a couple weeks ago and have aound 500 magnums thru it. The gun seems to be getting better the more rounds I run thru it.

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

That’s good to here. Enjoy it. Thanks!

I love Colts. I have all the new Pythons,Anacondas and king cobras. But i will say this speaking for myself . My dream revolver is a German Korth. good video.

I had trouble deciding which one to get so i bought all of them 😂 Python in 3" changed the rear sight with WC changed the grips with the altamont full snakeskin fingergroove Python in 4" changed rear sight with WC and altamont grips fingergroove. This made a big difference in accuracy Smith and wesson 586-8 4" this is my safe queen believe it or not Smith and wesson 586 L comp got this for wifey/me Smith and 686-6 4" this was my first revolver Smith and wesson 686 deluxe 3" bought altamont altai grips for it

The new python out of box is nice, but not as smooth as the original one. But nevertheless, great to see Colt is bringing this back. It's gonna be a great shooter.

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

That’s odd. With my new 2024 8inch barrel; the trigger pull, angels came down and sang, and light shot out of the sky.

[@twkmonster84]

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

Congrats! Enjoy

[@Yoko.Kurama]

I heard the rear sight has priblems coming loose after adjustments. Have you had any problems?

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

Yes I upgraded the rear and front sight to the Wilson combat sights. Huge improvement

[@andrewpinheiro7202]

Main problem I have with the stocks is to thin and they didn’t round off the back or even try to blend it in with the frame. It’s just a sharp straight edge.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

[@alvarojavier9995]

De tres pulgadas del cañon, lo que lo hace no excesivamente pesado incluso hasta mas facil de transportar, su nuez asienta la carga clasica de seis proyectiles, (aun cuando me gustan los revolveres SW 82 de cal. 3.57 ojala con ocho balas) pero aquello no le resta presencia e imagen contundente, con la pintura cromada le da una refinada belleza al revolver Magnum su empuñadura parece buena calidad. Se le ve algo duro el percutor o el gatillo, podria ser que esté nuevo y con el tiempo el acero cedera

The honest truth is that if you want a trigger that feels like butter you're going to have to take it to a trigger specialist/gunsmith.

[@Chris-yy5pj]

I mean no disrespect but your trigger technique could be the problem with the smoothness. I noticed you kinda hook it deep thru the trigger while i personally put the tip of my finger on the trigger and slowly squeeze inward. It could be very possible that its just not as smooth but every new python and anaconda i felt was absurdly smooth and felt great

[@ExplorersWorkbench]

I wish that were so. That technique is just because I’ve got it on the table and filming. It’s smoothing out slightly. But it doesn’t feel great.

[@billystephens9255]

Try a new s&w revolver trigger and you will see why colt triggers are absolutely the best.get you a pair of goncalco Alves grips for your python they are very nice grips for the python.

will do
