Colt discontinuing the Python is the worst idea in gun history

[@DavidxBoyd]

And it was stupid to never correct this error by bringing it back. Colt discontinued and went into bankruptcy less than 10 years later. Then they came out of bankruptcy and laid off workers and now they’re suspending the AR-15 civilian sales.

[@sarjim4381]

I carried a Python for 15 years until we switched to 9 mm. A lot of us kept carrying them until we were told to carry a Beretta or we wouldn't have a job. this was in about 1993, when the Beretta 92 was becoming the "in" gun. Nothing wrong with a 92, and we all got used ot them, until they pulled another switcheroo to a Smith 40 cal M&P just before I retired in 2005. They sold the Pythons to any deputy with 10 years of more of service for (get ready for the tears) $200. We were buying a new house, and I needed every dime for the down payment, so I had to pass. One of those today would buy a pretty decent used RV trailer. Rats!

[@nickdipaolofan5948]

Ouch!!!!! in the late 90's I was in the market for my first revolver and I saw a used Python for about $1,100 and a SW 686 for around $700. I went the cheap route and bought the SW and saved the $400. I recently sold my SW for around $600 and that Python is probably a $3,000 gun today. Sucks.

[@Randomname183]

Pretty much the exact same story for my Dad. He kept his service Python and I have become the proud recipient of it now. It will never be sold out of the family as long as I’m alive.

[@wyattpeterson6286]

Like the M1 Garand and the mosin nagant.

[@theaveragewoodsman6002]

Probably the one gun that I wish was still made is the Ruger .44 Magnum carbine (Deerslayer). It was basically a slightly scaled-up 10/22, chambered in 44 Magnum.

[@Predalien195]

+wicken Hale If I recall correctly Ruger did revive it briefly, but it didnt sell well. And with good reason... it was targeted mostly at hunters, and frankly it offered nothing over the standard and cheaper lever action rifles out there. There was talk that if their M77 in .357 had done well they were going to do that with .44 Magnum, but much like why the Deerslayer didnt do well, the M77 suffered the same problem. It WAS more accurate than some lever actions out there, but not enough to matter when hunting within the effective ranges of the caliber.

[@pg396]

Bill Ruger wouldn’t make more than a 4 Rd Magazine during the 1970’s when we owned a Ranch. Would have been a terrific Farmhouse Gun if it had a Ten Round Magazine. Maybe same reason the Mini 14 can’t be loaded with a Factory 10 Rd Magazine with the Bolt Closed? Fear of Anti Gun People.

[@theaveragewoodsman6002]

Christopher well, my dad had one of the 44 Magnum carbine when I was a kid and that thing was not only fun to shoot, but it was one hell of a little hog gun. He used it for many years hog hunting along with his 44 Magnum Super Blackhawk. Also, I'm going to have to disagree with you, as it offered quite a bit over a standard lever action, being a semi-automatic. Follow-up shots were quite a bit faster if I remember correctly. Clearly the 77/357 must have sold pretty well, because they make a 77/44 that seems to be pretty popular also.

[@Predalien195]

+wicken Hale Faster follow ups yes, but in hunting... how many follow ups do you need to be honest? And in self defense, while it's useful, the distances you'd likely be using a .44 Magnum carbine at, the lever action could still provide an adequately fast shot. Plus there's the versatility of using .44 Special in a lever action. I have shot the Ruger .44 carbines like that before and they are good guns. I'm not saying they arent, I just personally never saw them bringing more to the table over a cheaper and more available lever action at the time. I only regret not getting the Ruger because their current price, but I dont regret it ultimately for the initial reason I chose not to go with one. And the M77/357 has been discontinued, the .44 Magnum still seems to be in production however. Although the idea of a bolt action in a caliber like that to me just doesnt make much sense, but Ruger has always been a bit of an odd company at times. I have no doubt they have quality and are good guns, it's a shame companies like Marlin and such have fallen off under Freedom Group's leadership.

[@theaveragewoodsman6002]

Christopher rapid follow-up shots can be very important when doing a spot and stalk style hog hunt, as you're generally hunting in thick brush. I actually really like lever actions in general, especially ones chambered in Magnum pistol calibers. I actually use an 1892 in 44 Magnum with a 2-7x32 Burris scope setup scout style for hog hunting. I have to agree that I'm not exactly sold on the bolt action pistol caliber carbine concept, but they're super popular. I've met a couple people that have them and they swear that it's the bee's knees when it comes to deer hunting in the south.

There are many firearms of the past that we could agree are greatly missed. But if I were to pick out one it would be the Remington Nylon 66. My father, brother and I would go shooting at least a couple of times a month in the 1960s. Back then even a new Nylon 66 wouldn't set you back much more than a family meal costs today. And used ones? I remember looking at them stuffed in a drum with all sorts of .22s. $15 used! And no NICS check either. The Nylon 66 was a surprising good shooter, light, accurate and with 14 rounds that was plenty of ammo to walk tin cans.

If you wish to have a (sport) gun in Poland several conditions must be fulfil.

Usually the permission allows to buy several guns (usually 5 to 7). The term “sport gun” have broad meaning and cover almost all guns which are not fully automatic. That means you can buy almost any semi-automatic pistol, rifle, carbine including semi-automatic AR or AK, like seim-automatic Beryl.

Marcin Nazwisko i agree and i would add that it all takes a few months and about a months salary to get a permit. You can buy any non fully auto gun up to 12mm caliber. I initially was allowed 5 guns, than after 1 year applied to have 11, police agreed to 8

[@xxxxxx-rm2pn]

Jack Rex you mean an SG553?

[@xxxxxx-rm2pn]

[@TheDandyMann]

chris xxx Just found out JDI is importing them in August of next year. They're all pretty expensive close to 2500 and up for different models and they all come into the country as pistols. There's even a 12" 300 blackout version, I kinda want to get that one.

[@xxxxxx-rm2pn]

TheDandyMan I know all of that because I just took delivery of my third SG in 7.62x39. They are worth the money, trust me, especially at 2500 or so for the 5.56. JDI is only importing 100 of the .308 and 100 of the x39, though.

[@paschallhouston]

Always makes my dad laugh when he told me he use to buy the colt python for 300 to 400 bucks and even traded his off. He has a colt national match 1911 from the 60s he bought for 250 which is going for about 2500 today. He said if he only knew.

Absolutely! I love my no4 mk1 sporter, .303 brit is a great cartridge. I'd love to see a modern stainless barrel, synthetic stock varient made as long as they keep the same buttery action.

[@Coyote-wm5op]

I was thinking the same thing for a K98 but apparently someone does and their ridiculously priced.

[@Coyote-wm5op]

[@elrebanada]

Never been a smoother handgun made than the Python. I've owned Diamondbacks, Custom 29's, and purty much everything in between and "off the shelf" the Python is the benchmark by which all others are judged, IMHO. Thanks for another great vid.

[@Stop_Gooning]

I recently purchased a S&W Model 66 with the 2.75" barrel. So far I'm good out to 12 yards but I need a lot more practice with it before I'd take it as a carry gun.

s&w model 19 didn't make the cut why not?

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

contreeman They make the K Frame Model 66 still. It's excellent. I don't think they make it in blue finish though. They make the heavier classic Model 27 but I wish they made the 28 still too.

[@rlm3979]

S&W are still making the model 19 in there "classic" series

[@kafkasyrup]

Agreed. I bought a CHP trade in Model 19 that seized completely twice with factory .357. It did, however lead me to buy a Ruger Security Six stainless 6" revolver which was one of the best firearms I've owned. Thanks for your comment. I feel validated.

I'm a ridiculously liberal person, and I believe in gun reform, but Eric's channel is one of my favorites. It's informative, it's entertaining, and it's educational. It's what people should see when they think of guns in the United States; an informed citizen who is educated on the proper use and control of firearms. Eric, thank you for being a good example of a proper gun owner. I bought my first firearm thanks to your videos. Keep it up with the fantastic content!

You can see the pure joy on Eric's face when he is shooting that little 10 gauge shotgun. That's what shooting is about.

[@Sizukun1]

Aren't colt pythons only special because they're not made anymore? S&W makes hand-fit revolvers, as does many other manufacturers and they're all really good guns.

[@dbelex]

Sizukun1 Smith does not make hand fit revolvers, their performance center shit needs a lot of with to equal the action of a Colt Python.

[@wedge259]

Idk if they're hand fit, but I disagree that their stuff is "shit". I had a 686 SSR (Pro Series) that was the best feeling/shooting revolver I've ever had.

[@762N8O]

I prefer smith 66 over my python anyday

[@markd7762]

My father owns probably 30 Smith and Wesson revolvers from all eras. Without question his old model 10 (can't remember suffix) with pinned barrel has a better action than his new 586 performance center. The model 10 has not been shot much at all. This just don't make them like they used to. Its sad to me that a production gun from 50-60 years ago has better fit, finish, and mechanical smoothness than new performance center stuff. I love Smith and Wesson revolvers. They hold a special place in my heart but what they put out today is not worth the prices they charge. OK rant over.

[@shaggyboi231]

Sizukun1 but it is not the same if it isn’t a Colt.

[@stevecascaden6345]

I own a Ruger M77 Sport 2 in .223 that I bought in the early 90's for hunting groundhogs. Just love it. Very accurate. I hand load for it. And have taken game at 500 yards with it. I was really surprised when you picked up yours in this video.

[@copperspartan1643]

The second gun I ever fired happened to be a Python, and even with that limited experience I knew it was something special. I hope to own one some day.

[@makevelicustoms]

What about the Marlin Camp Rifle that thing was sweet. It used Smith & Wesson MAGS and it was discontinued and they are high in demand .

[@2bitmarketanarchist337]

Cleetis McDougall For $350 I could get myself a maverick 88 and a whole mess of shotshells.

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

2bit MarketAnarchist The low cost and great quality of the H&R is why they are/were so great. Great first kid rifle/shotgun and truck gun.

[@quinnjim]

I've shot the Python. It's mostly hype. They stopped making them for a reason. Nice looking gun, but it's not magic. The Smith 686 is just as good (and still made). Colt will make them again. They will be modernized and made with machines with MIM parts.

[@4DavidJohn]

I've spoken to Colt and the reason they say is they don't have the gunsmiths who could do the fine tuning and assembly for the Python action. As far as MIM parts are concerned hopefully they don't... MIM equipment is very costly and may not be as strong as forged or machined parts...

Wean the Folks off the American Gun Culture exactly like the Boy Scouts and NFL Football. Would love to know one way or another if this story is true.

[@michaelr.1709]

I heard Remington shut down the Handi rifles because they weren't making ENOUGH money on them. They planned on making a replacement that would have interchangeable barrels (the barrels must be hand fitted on the Handi rifles). Instead of waiting for the replacement to be ready, however, they shit down production before even beginning the replacement. Rossi and Henry filled the gap and now there is no market.

[@christurnblom4825]

I'm glad I'll be a legit machinist soon. I'd love to reproduce some of these. I could care less if it's made by the actual company or not, my concern is functionality & dependability. ...And yes, I know I'll have my work cut out for me and for some it won't be feasible to reproduce it to OEM specs but it will be fun to reproduce some of these.

[@Astro_Ape]

I've got an old H&R chambered in .357 Maximum (only one I've ever seen, super cool to show off) that was gifted to me by a friend before his death due to cancer... also got my Dad's old M77 in .220 Swift with a '60s era Bausch & Lomb target scoop that seems almost as long as the barrel (screw what everyone says about longevity, my Dad put thousands of rounds thru it and she'll still groups like a champ) & my Grandpa's .357 Colt Python in 6" stainless with Hogue grips that I LOVE... BUT I've also got a blued 4" Diamondback with rose grips that me and my Dad bought together ~5yr ago that's a PERFECT match to the beautiful 1911 Colt .45 I bought the other day that I'm super fond of.

The Python was an elegant and lovely revolver for sure. It was killed off by the S&W 586/686 which were more reasonably priced and more durable. However, if Colt did resurrect the Python I might just open my wallet.
