I have a chance to buy a Colt Python

"Works perfectly" means nothing more or less that "works as it should". If there is something truly wrong with a sight (that's part of the gun), then the gun doesn't work perfectly.

The sights work, they are just chintzy and you need a tiny allen wrench to adjust them.

I'm going for the python. I don't have any real responsibilities to worry about other than dental (my teeth was damaged in a car accident). My car is running just fine. I replaced the water pump today and that's all that is wrong with it. I'm not doing anything with my Torino until I have a proper place to work on it. All and all I'm pretty good.

About the single action trigger pull. I never use single action. I taught myself never to use it. Unless I'm going for long range shooting. Like beyond 25 yards. Im going to replace the stocks anyway.

A $1500 gun shouldn't have sights so sub par that folks are replacing them as a matter of routine, at least from what I have read.
A High Point works perfectly, but price point should make an item true to it's cost.

Ghost Mountain says he's going for the
Python. Story over until or if he reports
on its ownership, shooting it.

I found a new Colt Python on my way to the range yesterday.
The gun clubs owner has it in stock and will hang on to it if I put a little down. It's a 4.25 model. I always wanted a python. But I always wondered how one would compare to my 686 plus pro series revolver. I wasn't able to buy it yet. But I can tell the revolver earned it hefty price tag. The gun is a work of art. I'm going to see if I can somehow afford to get it in layaway or something.
This gun It's prettier than my former crush. I'm sure it won't be a disappointment.

Go for it and you won't be disappointed. The Python is a wonderful weapon and you it will not lose value over the years.

It won't shoot any better than your 686 but you will get a lot of joy from it.

If you've got the funds get it.
