Colt python: 3" or 4.25"?

[stormvet]

With Canada banning all handguns today I wonder if Colt will re-tool and make the new Python in 4 inches as it should be ?

Doubt it certainly not cheap for the them to retool, S&W also does the 4.25. I got a feeling we are stuck with it.

Python for the win if you can have only one.

the poll is open i suppose, but i've already bought the 4.25"

has anyone read my long winded post #57? just curious as the revolver will need to be sent back.

Im not worried about it, but it seems the cylinder release could be an inherent flaw with colt, vs other options where the cylinder release is separate from the part of the revolver that helps seat the cartridge (i couldn't find a name for that but terms would be helpful for the warranty email).

Again, i'm not concerned and still want the anaconda when it becomes available, and have read that the cylinder latch can come loose and present this problem, but thought it was worth rementioning

Well carp! I hope the return will go smooth. I've listen and read so many horror stories about returning a gun lately, I'm curious to hear how your return to colt and then the return to you goes.

I listen to something last night that said that we have to dros the gun again after its returned to you through an FFL ( I think and hope its BS)

We had my 4.25" out yesterday. It was smooth and was a pleasure to shoot.

Good luck sir.

If the 3" appeals to you, go with that. I'd prefer 6 or 8 if it were me. You'll be happy either way!

4.25 barrel. I'd like a little more length and weight when shooting a magnum.
