Revolvers that Ken Hackathorn loves to shoot. 2020 Colt Python & Old Smith & Wessons - Gun Guys EP60

[@gowilsoncombat]

Have you seen our solution to the 2020 Colt Python sight issue? The new Wilson Combat Rear Sights for the 2020 Colt Python kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6GoZqWaeMuCsJI

[@scottc3029]

Have you told Bill that you’re making Python sights yet?

[@mikehagan4320]

The 3 inch Python needs a rounded butt!!! That is the very Reason I Just passed on a 3 inch Python this week. I carry my revolvers because I shoot them well. The only thing that really imprints is the butt. So it needs to be rounded to make it less obvious what is under my T shirt. Please do more of these revolver videos. Very relaxing to watch and is a Great source of information for Quality products. Best Wishes from Montana M.H.

Hi Ken, is the attached msg to my original comment legit?

How can one not love a revolver. Still got my police Duty mod#581

[@DanielBoone337]

I have a couple pretty cool Pythons that I inherited a few years back. My grandfather was a serious gun collector. He bought 2 brand new Colt Pythons back in the early to mid 60's a 4 inch and a 6 inch. He shot the 6 inch all the time but the 4 inch he bought it and put it in his gun safe only taking it out to clean and oil it from time to time. When I got them I loved the 6 inch so much I bought a new 4 inch so I could shoot it. So I have a 4 inch Colt Python that, unless it was fired from the factory, its never had the 1st round fired through it. The 6 inch model I have was the 1st handgun I ever shot as well. Those 3 guns will never leave my collection.

[@luthergillis5632]

What a great conversation! I remember a time when gun shops were full of revolvers as well as Lugers, Walther P-38’s, Mauser Broomhandles, Hi-Powers and 1911’s. I appreciate some of the modern polymer pistols, but revolvers have always been a work of art for me. Thank you for an interesting video.

[@Full_Otto_Bismarck]

If I could go into a gun shop now and that's all what they had I would be in heaven. I was born sometime after the invention of the Glock and so the era you mentioned I never personally witnessed but my favorite guns are steel frame single action autoloaders such as 1911s or Hi Powers and double action revolvers from Colt or Smith and Wesson (pre lock only please!).

[@batrocbjj7866]

Both revolvers and polymers semi autos have pro and cons Bro, having then both is the best option for your arsenal in my opinion Bro

[@frankb4517]

Those were the days. Like kids in a candy store.

Keep this revolver thing going. I’m ex military and a gun guy but have just recently discovered revolvers. My first was a 22lr 3” SP101, the a S&W J-frame, then a 3” Colt King Cobra .357 and my latest purchase is a 2” Colt Cobra. I love them all!

Lucky guys over there in America. They will not let us have any fun in Ireland concerning guns ,pity that

[@edwardkawecki8101]

Great conversation! My favorite revolver is my S & W mod.27 with a 3 1/2" barrel in pristine condition purchased by my father in the 50's and given to me in 1970. I usually shoot 38s in it but finish off with a few rounds of 357 magnums just for old times sake to reminisce shooting it the first time when I was about 10 years old. WOW! That first time shooting a magnum round is something you never forget. Then in the 80's I let my son and daughter fire their first-ever magnum round which they still bring up in conversation at times. Needless to say that this S & W will be handed down in the family hopefully forever. .

As an impressionable kid in the 70's, the first handgun I ever fired was a Ruger Security Six. Then I was allowed to shoot an old 1911. Today I own several 1911's and several revolvers. I carry a revolver as my EDC back-up. I've been a fan of both for almost 50 years. Each has it's purpose, and I enjoy them regularly. Thanks for sharing.

Great to see some wheel guns. Wheel guns are real guns.

Smith & Wesson model 15 and the 19 are excellent revolvers ! I’ve shot a few 15 models ! I bought a 19 in 1971 and love it ! 22 years ago I bought a model 586 and really enjoy it ! I shoot it a lot and last year I got into 125 grain SWC cast bullets , it is a game changer as for 55 years I only shot 150 gr , 158 gr and Keith designed 170 SWC !

Revolvers just have something very special about them. Like many others, I carry a variety of auto loaders, but a nice revolver always catches my eye.

I Love listening and learning from you guys! You two know more about the guns I love than anyone I've ever seen. I grew up reading about Elmer Keith, Jeff Cooper, and Ross Seyfried. Along with John Linebaugh, and now friends with Dustin Linebaugh. My kids come in the living room from time to time and say, "Dad you are always watching those old guys!", and I tell them boys that the reason that I watch them, is because they know more about guns than most people and I can relate to their passion for the guns that they love! Younger guys are about the new fads that are in place. I'm into what is tried and true. Set in my ways, but willing to always learn from the more experienced shooters. Thanks again for all of the good videos. I have John Harison, Dustin Linebaugh, Alan Harton, and several Wilson Combat guns! And enjoy my lever guns!!! Thank you two for everything you do. I Highly respect you both and hold you both to a high regard! Pleas pray for my friend John Harrison! Praying that God will touch his eyesight so that he can do the great things that he likes to do. Good man!

My brother bought a new Python in 1980. Paid a small fortune for it. I had a $150 Ruger Security Six, both in .357 magnum. His grips weren't finished in the bottom, still raw wood, side plate could trim your fingernails on. I shot rings around him, both from benchrest. He cleaned and boxed it, sent it back to Colt, who repaired the new gun and sent it back to him. He put it in his gun safe, and bought a 6" Ruger Security Six. It think the Python is still in there.

I’m really happy to see the 2020 Python getting some support from trusted people on the public side of pistol shooting. I’m a full blown nobody when it comes to this type of thing, but am lucky to own some original E/I frame Colts and some nice Smiths. The gun I shoot the most is my 2020 Python. I reload boat loads of .38 Special and most of it is launched with the new Python. They’re great guns if you prize double action triggers.

[@rodneyalaking8241]

Yesterday, I watched a video that ranked the 5 best snub nosed revolvers. A Taurus was number one. 😂😂 It’s nice to see real quality pieces in this video. One of my favorites is a Colt New Service in 45 Colt from 1931. It’s built like a tank and still looks almost new. There’s something special about a big bore revolver.

When these two talk guns, you stop what you are doing, sit down and listen. This is like taking a Revolvers 101 class from the Masters.

[@Ed-ig7fj]

I like most handguns, but my Model 15s are probably my faves. I agree with the fellow at Nut'nfancy who says that if you find a good Model 15, just buy it. Your grandkids will thank you. These guns were built to a standard of quality by craftsmen, not to a price point. I have 3: an old cop gun with a great trigger job, another 4 inchers with lovely bluing, and a snubby version that is deadly accurate. Add these to my 686's and I am in skunk heaven. If you aren't familiar with revolvers, try one; you may just become addicted to them! --Old Guy

[@herknorth8691]

If the world weren't going to hell in a handbasket then I'd be playing around with revolvers. As things stand, I need to focus on guns that give me the most advantage in a fight.

Thanks for your post. In mid-1965 my ship was patrolling the coast of South Vietnam where we boarded junks, sampans and suspicious commercial vessels. On a trip back to Subic Bay, Philippines I visited the Navy and Marine Corp exchange. While there I purchased a Colt Trooper with a 6" barrel. I felt more comfortable with a new revolver over and against WWII vintage 1911 pistols. After returning home I replaced the original grips with Hogue grips.

I didn't think that I would have to go this far down to find another S&W 25-5 , 45 Long Colt Fan , but I did and I agree it's my only revolver and the only modification that I made was replacing the walnut grips with Pachmayr grips and I have never needed to do any thing else , everyone that shoots it loves it !

[@coldandaloof7166]

Love the revolver episode guys, keep the good stuff coming. I carry my Smith 66 4" nearly everyday as a duty gun. I shoot it well and trust it. Many people make comments about grandpa and his revolver, until they see me shoot it. They really don't say anything else when I beat them in a reload drill with their autos 😂. Only shot an original python once 20 years ago, and was not impressed. I always thought the Smith actions were faster and smoother. (And way cheaper!). But I might have to give a new one a try after seeing that beautiful 3". The trigger stroke was just so different on them for some reason when doing fast DA work.

Great episode. I'm old enough that I started competitive shooting when PPC was common. Still have my Ron Powers built S&W. Fiercely accurate and, yes, fun to shoot.

[@PPISAFETY]

Me too! We had side matches in addition to the Individual Match, which included Service Revolver and Off Duty Revolver. These went out to 25 yards and had to be shot with stock guns. Then we had side matches for Autos. So that was a long weekend but a lot of fun. I used a pair of Model 15's for the revolver sides, a four inch and a two-inch (which had to be one of the ugliest K-frames made. That 2-inch looked like someone had cut off the muzzle with a band saw). I had a Virginia gunsmith named Fred Schmidt build my main gun which was based on a Model 10. It had a huge rib on it with the coolest sight I'd ever seen. At the front sight it had a slide switch marked with 7, 25, and 50 yard settings and individual zeros. That came in real handy moving from position to position unless you forgot to slide the switch! I have to laugh when I hear some kid on KZbin talk about how it is "impossible" to learn to manage a DA trigger. A lot of us learned to do that at 50 yards, left handed. Cheers.

[@glennrishton5679]

I shot the PPC course once, a police LT I knew invited me along with he and some other officers to shoot. I didnt realize they were going to qualify so I shot along with them with a 6" model 19. Since the police range was open to the public I shot there regularly so was familiar with shooting from a barricade strong and weak hand shooting from 50 yards etc. Seems like there was a prone position but hell that was 40 years ago and now I'd use all my time just getting prone and miss the next stage trying to get up. Dont remember my score but a few months later I was given an Expert certificate so guess I did ok and I realize I had the advantage of the longer sight radius plus I was shooting a lot.

[@PPISAFETY]

@@glennrishton5679 Well. you remember most of it. The 50 yard stage included 6 rounds seated from the holster, followed by reloading and 6 rounds from prone, then you stood up and reloaded, then fired 6 left handed from the barricade, then reloaded and fired 6 right handed from the barricade. 24 rounds in 2 minutes 45 seconds. Sissies were allowed to fire the 50 yard stage single action but most of us went DA all the way. I got to Expert with a stock 6 inch Model 586, but to progress to Master I went to a heavy barrel "built gun". Those were fun times. Take care.

[@thinman8621]

@@PPISAFETY I still shoot IDPA and USPSA but I think PPC was under-appreciated. Shooting at 50yd DA was great for learning marksmanship. We learned to shoot with both hands, too. Have to laugh a little when USPSA guys complain about having to make a long shot (anything over 25yd). You were a bona fide good shot if you made Master.

686 6" that I got 27 years ago. Still love it. 627 2.6" that I got for CC. Bit heavy, but an observable improvement over my 686, and not just in capacity. Smith Wesson has loyal customers in my family.

[@craigbenz4835]

All of those were greats, but for me a S&W model 10 with grips that fit me is the best. The tiniest grips I can't use without a grip adaptor, but larger ones are great. No worries about the windage shifting. POI has been good for me. YMMV.

The 4inch K frame is about the perfect revolver for me. I dont have a 19 but do have a 10 and a 15. love them. my 586 is fun too but not quite the same as a K frame. great guns thanks for sharing.

A quality revolver is a thing of beauty and a superbly made mechanical device. In 1935 when S&W produced the "Registered Magnum" and the .357 magnum cartridge, it was probably the epitome of workmanship and elegance. The Colt Python was also a superb revolver of remarkable accuracy and beauty. My favorite however, will always be the model 29 S&W, powerful yet refined, the big N frame delivers a massive yet controlable 1200 foot pounds of energy.
