Bought a used 4" Python in the late 1980s and after all these years it was easily the most gorgeous handgun I had ever owned. I was impressed to say the least.

BUT - for what ever reason I could not shoot it very well compared to my 686 and even my GP100. Admittedly I did not experiment with a lot of different loads but in all the years I have shot 357s never had any that would not shoot very well with 158JHPs and classic magnum powders like 2400, H110 and 296. I traded it off not long afterwards.

In retrospect it would have been worth hanging on to as I would have been able to get my money back several times over!
