Not exactly sure where to put this. I hang out here most of the time, so here goes.
I have been shooting handguns since the '60's. I owned a few Smiths to include a 27-2 and a 29-2 in the '70's. In those times, I was a college student and later a teacher. As you know neither usually has a lot of money. I always wanted a Colt Python. In the days when a Model 29 cost almost $400 a Python cost upwards of $700 and I could never afford one. Well, day before yesterday, I got the deal of a lifetime on the "Rolls Royce" of handguns with an action that is "smooth as glass". A 6" royal blue ventilated ribbed beauty. I had never fired one till then. My first impression was the action was strange. Good, but strange, in that although smooth in double action, it seems to change pull weight as the trigger is depressed. I brought it home and took out my old 4 screw Model 28. When I compared the action, and the trigger break, I have to say, the old 28 seems to have the Python beat both in single and double action. My 1957 Pre 29 has it beat all to you know what. Once again, I think I have been right about what the best revolvers ever made were. Any thoughts?
