This video reviews the 2020 Colt Python 4.25-inch blued model, discussing its aesthetics, handling, and shooting performance. The presenter highlights the difference between single and double-action trigger pulls, notes issues with the cylinder release, and compares it briefly to a Smith & Wesson 681. The review emphasizes the gun's appeal as a fun range firearm rather than a primary defensive weapon, with plans for a 5,000-round durability test.

Quick Summary

The 2020 Colt Python 4.25-inch blued .357 Magnum has a visually appealing design but suffers from a sticky cylinder release that can hinder operation, especially when hot. Its single-action trigger is noted as rough, while the double-action is smoother, making it more of a fun range gun than a primary self-defense tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main issues with the 2020 Colt Python 4.25-inch model?

The primary concern highlighted is the cylinder release mechanism, which can become sticky and difficult to unlock, especially when the firearm is hot. This can prevent the cylinder from opening properly, posing a potential reliability issue.

How does the trigger feel on the Colt Python?

The single-action trigger pull is described as unexpectedly heavy and rough, feeling like a '7 lb rough wall.' In contrast, the double-action trigger is noted as being smoother and more desirable, which is considered counterintuitive by the presenter.

Is the Colt Python a practical firearm for self-defense?

The presenter suggests the Colt Python is more of a 'fun gun' for the range and not ideal as a primary defensive weapon out of the box, citing potential reliability issues like the cylinder release and the general learning curve for revolver proficiency.

What is the intended use and future testing for this Colt Python?

The reviewer plans to conduct a 5,000-round durability test on the Colt Python, focusing on its performance with minimal lubrication. The gun is primarily viewed as a fun range firearm, with plans to eventually carry it for a period to base an identity around it.
