Update 2020 Colt Pythons Spied

[Neversink n Klapperthal]

personally,i always preferred the Smith grip over the Pythons. I do have a Python,btw

 

[Old_Cop]

My new Python went back to Colt in early January for the muzzle issue. As of today I have not seen it since. Frequent calls say that it's in process. Is covid slowing repairs, is the repair crew overwhelmed, I don't know. There is no recourse but to wait.

Unless things have changed and I seriously doubt it - Colt is unionized which contributes significantly to their price structure.
Whether it contributes to their quality is highly in doubt. Just my $0.02!!

Once bitten

Today the 6" barrel model 2020 Python 357Rem Mag went
North of $2500.00. Also there is 3% credit card, 6.5% tax,
Postage, and FFL on top of that.

Bidder must of wanted it pretty bad. Crazy.

That's a shame. Maybe when I sent mine back they didn't have as much of a workload, or the factory could be understaffed due to the covid. From all the horror stories of recent Colt customer service with multi-month wait times for simple repairs, I was worried I wouldn't get mine back for a long time. Must have gotten lucky.

One of those rare times when I feel good to be poor.

After reading all the bad reviews, I've pretty much lost interest in the 2020 Python. Too bad because I was wanting a 4" to go with my 1975 6" Python which I do really like.
Felt the same when they came out with the new Cobra. Extremely interested until I got one in my hands.
IDK, if Colt ever manages to get the bugs out and make them in blue, then maybe I'll reconsider.

To steep of a price for my budget.

I have three high condition Colts - a .357. a .357 Trooper, and an Officer's Model Match, which are essentially the same guns as a Python. So why would I need a new Python?

I saw a review...

...where a guy had a new example that was very poor. It had an undecipherable patter of light strikes on almost every cylinder shot. Sometimes three misfires in a row. Of course that needs to be sent back to Colt, but they aren't the guaranteed collector's item that people want.

Others I've seen were find and the owners happy.

I'm flat not interested.....

The first time I saw the Python back in the 60's I wasn't impressed by the looks of it. Sure it was a fine gun. I have plenty of fun with my 686, which is a cream puff.
