This video provides an expert-level overview of a 1970s Colt Python, comparing its operational differences to Smith & Wesson revolvers. Joel Persinger, drawing on his father's experience as a deputy sheriff, details the distinct cylinder release mechanisms and clockwise cylinder rotation of the Colt, contrasting them with Smith & Wesson's forward release and counter-clockwise rotation. He explains the practical implications of these differences for reload speed and muscle memory, particularly when using loose rounds in a gunfight. The discussion also touches on the historical context of firearm issuance and the perceived build quality and trigger characteristics of vintage Colts.
