model 19 vs colt python

[OttoLoader]

Pythons are an eyesore. Their grip and trigger ergonomics are bad. Python trigger reset is slow. Vent rib looks bad on shotguns really bad on revolvers. I have been shooting S&W since the 70s. Never liked any of the Colt DA revolvers.

I have owned both. I am a fan of Colts. I own a Colt Gold Cup and a Colt Woodsman, but my experience with the Python was bad. It was the most inaccurate handgun I have ever fired YMMV. The last time I had my Python at the range, I also had my S&W 686. Both had 4" barrels. I was able to shoot accurately with the 686, but had flyers everywhere with the Python. I sold that hunk of metal as fast as I could.

Was the Python made in the early 1990's?

I had a Colt revolver from the 1990's, and it was a POS.

Full underlug and full vented rib makes the Python one of the most easily recognizable wheel guns ever. And the most beautiful.

Blame The Walking Dead. A stainless 9 inch Python is the have to own revolver.

Python is mid frame and it should be compare with the L frame 586 or 686 Smith. Lockup on the Python is only on the back of the cylinder and L frame Smith is on the front of the ejector rod and back of the cylinder make it a bit stronger, You can tune a Smith trigger like the python and that my two cents.

I am not certain when my Python was made. However, I bought it used around 1987-89 and sold it within a couple of months.
