Dang, that's a pretty pistol. I was wondering how the new blued Pythons would look. Guess I need to try and track one down in my area.

 

Beautiful gun. Love the blue and I’m glad Colt finally started offering these. Did yours come with the small grips?

 

Beautiful. Congrats

 

I love the overall look and the finish, but I still think that the classic two vent rib looks better. Maybe this will grow on me. But overall, a beautiful wheelgun.👍

 

I agree 100%

 

Those service stocks look great. What brand are they?

 

I want one now! I'm waiting to see one behind glass at my local gun shop.

 

One additional side benefit. I saw one at an LGS (it was spoken for) and the bluing really helps to hide the QR code…

 

I was experimenting with different grips as I don't like the factory laminated grips. The service grips actually look pretty good on the Python, I got these from Colt Man. Next I tried an extra set of G10 grips from a Combat Elite and they look good on the blued Python also.

 

Beautiful gun. A six inch is on my short list

 

I have a 4.25 on order. I will say the 3 vents makes my mind automatically think it’s a 6”.

 

Beautiful! I really like those Service Stocks on it too (do you know who made them?).

I picked up a 4.25" and a 6" in the last couple weeks. I have a set of Deer Hollow coming for the 6", and will probably put a set of recently acquired excellent used Pachmayrs on the 4.25".

 

I got the service stocks online from Colt Man. Lastly I tried some Gen 1 grips from Deer Hollow and I think I like these the best. What do you guys think?

 

I think these are the grips I'll leave on my new Pyton.

 

I like the Gen 1 style full checkered grips the most.

 

Can't beat the Deer Hollows. Unfortunately it seems we're all causing him to be overworked because nearly all of his grips have been on backorder for quite some time.

 

Looks great. I'm not a fan of the three vents on the 4.25" models at all, but the finishes look fantastic and the guns appear to be fit well. I hope to see one in a local shop sometime soon.

 

I'm not a fan of the three vents on the 4.25" models at all.

Me either, but I guess it will keep the low level scammers from trying to pass them off as the earlier versions of the Python. Not a fan of the hammer and trigger shape either, and how am I supposed to get a fancy cylinder turn line with those damn leads?

 

1st gen. grips look perfect!

 

Very nice - congrats. Wish I could find a 4.25" model around here.

 

I don't think my photos to the bluing on my new Python so I did a short video which I think highlights the finish a little better.

 

Nice video! Thank you for posting it. It really shows off what a fine job Colt did with both the metal polishing and the blued finish. The Deer Hollow grips are superb as well!

 

A beautiful revolver. I'm envious.🥺

 

Thanks for the video! It really shows the finish more naturally than any other I have seen so far!!

 

It’s one awesome revolver. I carried a 6” on duty, back in the 70s, but like an idiot I traded it for something. Guess I’ll get another blue 6”!!

 

Boy, this is a sweet gun. There is one of these in my future but I suppose not soon. They are still just about impossible to find. I'll just be patient. Wonder when the 3" and 2 1/2" models will be released blued?

 

That's a pretty revolver!
I just became a first-ever Python owner, but am having to make do with an old used c.1979 model.
Poor thing had been in storage, owned by a non-gun person with Pachs on it, which trapped a tiny bit of moisture and caused a very small rust spot. Cleaned it up, touched up with Brownell's Oxpho-Blue and the new Deer Hollow grips cover almost all of the blemish.
Had it at the range yesterday, trying out different hunting loads for it. It liked 3 of the 4 I tried. Seemed fitting, being from 1979 that it really liked the hardcast Keith LSWC-HP.
