This video discusses the potential mechanical challenges of modifying a Colt Python revolver to accept a seven-round cylinder, drawing parallels to the S&W 686 and Ruger GP100. The speaker hypothesizes that the Python's specific cylinder locking mechanism, which engages the cylinder stop and hand very late in the trigger pull, could be stressed by the increased cylinder diameter and rotation required for an additional round. This might lead to a less smooth trigger pull or increased wear on internal components, potentially explaining why Colt has historically opted for a six-round cylinder in the Python.
