Looks like GOLDEN WEBB found one and put it up for auction......

Is it possible to have less than zero credibility? Because if so, this character has found the way.

Buickgsman,where did you find the service stocks? My 3 inch should be here soon and that's the grip I plan on using. Nice 3 inch, looks good.

He's a joke, for entertainment purposes only.

Who else spends over a hour installing a grip screw?

Always has a issue.

So he buys a new Python and sells it as NIB?

Stand up guy!

Here, I'll review it. It's beautiful- get one when you can and put a set of service stocks on to really make it right. Get one!

The semi-domed rear sideplate screw is a nice touch for when the gun has the small stocks installed. I was concerned it might be flat and look 'off'.

I just had this 3" Python shipped in...filled out the Marylandstan paperwork for the 7-day jail sentence before I can bring it home. But after I do...this Python is going back to Colt unless they'll send me the part. The revolver looks beautiful except for the cylinder release which has a noticeable chunk gouged out of it...never should have left Colt that way...unacceptable for such a premium piece. I'll call them and see how they want it handled...send me a return authorization or send me a new cylinder release and I'll install it.

I’m sure that is disappointing, but as I have seen someone state elsewhere:

Stuff happens...that's why there are warranties. You don't have to like it but it's the reality of things.

Sorry that you had this issue, but at least it’s an easy fix.

Just a question. Why did you accept the Revolver in that condition?

Although this fellow does not list service grips, with enough requests, perhaps he will make a run.
His product is top notch.

If I had to wait a week just to release it from the FFL, I would probably gamble on the chance Colt might get me a correct part a lot faster than the time involved in rejecting the revolver and waiting for another to become available.

I didn't buy it from the FFL holder doing the transfer for me...it's not their fault or responsibility. If the Python was store inventory that would have been a different situation.

That may have not left the factory in that condition.

It could of happened at the FFL.

I have seen FFL's show guns that are sold waiting to be picked up and maybe a case of butterfingers at FFL.

I get that it could have...have seen a number of guns with scratches and such that were done by ham handed customers at gun stores. This was shipped in from a distributor to the FFL holder and I was there when the box was opened.

Regardless...I'm going to through Colt. I already called but their customer service line is full...will try again later.

Good point from Flashbang. Pretty obvious fault to leave the Colt factory. A hot new revolver such as the 3” Python everyone wants to handle it.
I would be sick.

 

[WABrit]

Just curious, as I've never fired a revolver with a barrel shorter than 4", what would the recoil be like with a magnum round?

 

[Uplander]

In my humble opinion recoil below 4” in .357 is intolerable. I don’t even really like it in 4” guns. Too much distracting blast. That little Python with a classic 158 gr bullet in the 750 fps neighborhood is more my speed.

Awesomely brutal!! Just kidding on the brutal part, sort of.... I started my Law Enforcement career when a .357 Magnum 4" revolver were pretty much a standard issue and carry and shot my fair share of snubs. Today, I don't hear very good and my gun hand has flare ups of arthritis but I still own some and shoot them occasionally.

 

[SnidelyWhiplash]

You want brutal? Try shooting magnums out of a Colt Lawman with a 2" barrel! Colt engineers referred to that as the "Wax Model" as that's what exited your ears when shooting it.

 

[RKBA]

Magnums out of my 3” 65-3 actually are not that bad but I still only shoot them in moderation. Snubs? Hard pass

 

[MARKO65]

I wanna know where you were able to find the to have it ordered? Sorry it needs a repair part....
