I would agree that both are fine revolvers that deserve a place in any collection. I would even go as far to say that the Python has the edge in looks department although the 5" M27 is an absolute beauty.

I have found the Colt action to be incredibly smooth but prefer my M28 double action for example. It may go to preference but I most certainly wouldn't mind owning a Python to become more conversant with its action. LOL

PS I love your pictures gents.
