for those who want to experience the trigger feel of the python without spending python money, buy an official police made before ww2,or an army special. basically same gun with different stampings.either will give you that special feel of a colt dbl action trigger at their finest. get the prewar versions due to the fact that those guns has the highest quality of manufacture. as a person with over 40yrs of practice through each type, i have formed my opinions about both years ago.
