Colt Python Royal Blue vs. Bright Stainless (Which one is better?)

[@stevensapyak7971]

10.1.23. I’ve owned two, 6 inch stainless steel 1983 and a 1984 model, and I bought a 4 1/4 inch stainless steel in May 2023 and I can tell you I prefer the blue model, hands-down! That’s just my opinion. It’s such a rich finish compared to any other handgun I’ve ever seen.

[@TerryBenton]

It is hard to disagree with you. That blue finish is pretty awesome

[@colt6920]

You have such a beautiful set of Pythons. They are both equally as stunning! I would love to buy the pair from you.

[@TerryBenton]

Thank you. Unfortunately they are not for sale but I understand what you are saying

[@royyates1558]

I have the 2024 blued one and i love it!

[@TerryBenton]

That is really cool. The blue guns look awesome

[@Bobbertj7335]

Im with you , im on the fence as well both beautiful in their own way

[@TerryBenton]

Totally agree

[@jeffedwards9039]

Both are gorgeous .. I'd buy both

[@TerryBenton]

Thank you

[@marksmith-ug2qi]

Terry, you need to switch the grip screws on those two revolvers to better match the finish.

[@TerryBenton]

Good idea

[@nathanwhite5602]

A beautiful set

[@TerryBenton]

Thank you

[@gracedagostino5231]

I would put them in this order. 1. Electroless Nickel (Colt Guard) 2. Royal Blue 3. Bright Stainless 4. Stainless 5. Nickel

[@TerryBenton]

The electrolysis nickel was cool. I do not have one of those. Thank you for watching

[@frankbutta9344]

They’re both great looking, but I use stainless for carry. 👍👍👍👍

[@TerryBenton]

Good choice

Hey nice vid i have a 1977 4 inch blued python never shot i only have the styrofoam box any ideas what its worth thanks

[@boxertomus]

fast forward till today Colt is now offering Blued Colt Python

[@TerryBenton]

Yea they just released them at shot show. I habe not had the pleasure of being able to see one yet in person

[@jimbo9357]

I have a 73 nickel and a 69 blued both 4 inch Pythons. The nickel finish feels good in the hand. I think it's more durable than the blued finish. Hate to call a gun beautiful but...

[@TerryBenton]

I completely understand. They are beautiful

[@DaSnoopBobbyBob]

Stainless looks the best I have a nickel. Sometimes I wish it was bright stainless.

[@TerryBenton]

I do like the stainless look. Hard to pick one

[@andrewpinheiro7202]

If I could only have one it would have to be the blue! But luckily i don’t have to choose I have 1972 4” blue and 2020 stainless the new ones definitely not as nice as old but it takes all the abuse so i can keep my blue mint

[@TerryBenton]

That is awesome. Thanks for watching

[@totljag1]

How did u keep ur blued python so nice , I was thinking of getting a blued python but was not sure how to maintain a blue gun so it always looks mint , I know u fire all ur guns but that blued one looks like it has never been fired

[@TerryBenton]

Just clean it with Hoppes and wipe it down with a wilson combat silicone rag. I keep that one in a zipper pouch wrapped in one of those silicone rags all the time

[@totljag1]

@@TerryBenton google the Gunfather Terry , he has a shop called Custom Shop inc , check out some of his Pythons he has restored, incredible Bluing , thanks for the info buddy

​@TerryBenton did Wilson have the silicone back in 1970?

[@garyhammond2213]

I buy both.

[@TerryBenton]

It is a hard choice

[@smithn.wesson495]
