This comprehensive guide compares the new (2020+) Colt Python revolvers with older models, detailing changes in front sight attachment, barrel crown, vent ribs, trigger face, side plate design, hammer shape, safety mechanisms (hammer block vs. transfer bar), cylinder star cut, cylinder lock button, firing pin design, cylinder stop, metallurgy, top strap thickness, mainspring shape, and rebound lever attachment. The expert concludes that while some aesthetic preferences may vary, the new Pythons are mechanically as good as, if not slightly better than, the older models due to advancements in materials and manufacturing.

This expert analysis, presented by TheYankeeMarshal, delves into the internal mechanisms of the new Colt Python revolvers to diagnose reported failures. The speaker, an experienced gunsmith and reviewer, identifies a redesigned 'hand' component, likely made from cast/MIM materials with a sharp, thin profile, as the root cause of cylinder rotation failures, especially when the firearm is short-stroked. The video compares new and old Python internals, highlighting improvements in other areas like the hammer stirrup and rebound lever, but concludes the hand's design and material are the critical weak points.
