Hello friends, I took my 6" python out for some fun at the range, when I got home I was examining my spent brass and noticed more then a few of the primers had been struck off center. Most of the off center strikes are not that bad, allot of them are centered, and the gun isn't shaving any lead/copper on the forcing cone. However a second opinion from some of the more Python savvy folks on here would be much appreciated.


Below are a couple of pictures of the brass.

S&B 158 Gr. FMJ 38 Special

I'll have to try that trick with the marker next time I shoot, just have to get more ammo first. I was more curious, then worried because the gun was running flawlessly. From what I can tell the action is timed properly, cylinder locks up solid, bolt begins moving the very instant the hammer is pulled. I'm now wondering if it was simply me pulling the trigger with an uneven amount force, possibly causing a mild amount of throw by.

Not all were double action, some where single action. I'd say I fired 70% double action 30% single action.

Right then, that about answers my question. Thanks to all who answered for the reassurance on my gun. As a newbie Python owner, I was second guessing myself allot as to the timing but everything appears to be in working order according to what po18guy said.
