Re: Colt to reintroduce the Python
Once all the initial buzz and hype wears off and prices drop, I might consider one to join my Manurhin MR73.

Re: Colt to reintroduce the Python
Considering that I'm having zero luck finding the king cobra target I will be buying the first python I can get my grubby boomer hands on. I only hope its high polish. The blasted sparkling cobra isn't what I consider a nice finish. The king cobra was better. The high polish cobra is fantastic.

Re: Colt to reintroduce the Python
Iunno about blaming the EPA. As of a couple of months ago (the document is labelled Q3 2019), it was possible to send the Colt Custom Shop a 1911 to get the Royal Blue finish...

I think the biggest thing is the Royal Blue finish is very time consuming with lots of labor. From what I read it involves polishing with a lot of different mediums, with the last medium resembling fine talc. It's probably too expensive nowadays (in Colt's mind) to offer for a mass production revolver.

Hell I'll buy one at that MSRP just to have it. A revolver is a range toy for me anyways and that 4-1/4" barrel variant looks sexy as hell.

Re: Colt to reintroduce the Python
I prefer a Model 19 personally, but wouldn't mind having a Python either.

Re: Colt to reintroduce the Python
I have a 1978 vintage Python in Royal Blue but I may be interested in a stainless 4.25" model! In the long run, I don't think the new models will affect the value of the vintage, hand fitted guns.

Re: Colt to reintroduce the Python
What I'm seeing on the interwebs is that Colt no longer manufactures any of their revolvers. Short and sweet- they outsource all of the parts and assemble them.

Re: Colt to reintroduce the Python
If the new ones are like the 1969 Python I have coming my way, Ill buy one to shoot. I feel that you get what you pay for and, IMO the Python is one of the smoothest actions I have ever felt.
