OP, if you are unware that there are plenty of Calgunners who don't know Jack-Sheet about a topic yet still voice a strong opinion on the subject, then whom is it that really needs the clarification?

It looks as if the real 'typo' is stamped on some of the frames in question.

Typos happen because we don't have enough covfefe in the morning. :-)

OP, here's the deal with the Pythons. Yes, there were a few initial teething issues. But those were the very early guns. Anything coming out of Colt these days has had that fixed for well over a year. Colt, BTW, will make it right if you get one of the early ones that had the issue. So, I wouldn't worry. If you want one, and it's reasonably priced, by all means, get one.

And speaking of Colt wheelguns....

We've had a few Python 2020's and one Anaconda 2021 in our gun cabinet. They tend not to last long, especially the 6" versions. Just two weeks ago, we had a Python 2020 and an Anaconda 2021, both 6" bbl length, come in. Both were gone in a week. I thanked the Gun Gods for that because both of them were seriously tempting me...and now I don't have to worry about that temptation anymore. :-)

Is a 2019 camero the same as a 1968 camero?

Personally - I'll skip the hype and buy a proven gun design.

Colt Firearms Blurb

The 2021 Python features modern stainless steel alloys and a re-designed rear sight. Thirty percent more steel beneath the rear adjustable target sight gives you a stronger revolver and more robust shooting experience. A recessed target crown, user-interchangeable front sight, and Walnut grip with the iconic Colt medallion make this a gun you'll want to shoot AND show off.

American Rifleman New Python Changes

Among the changes made to the newer production Colt Pythons are added features and refinements. Like the new production Colt Cobra and King Cobra, the new Pythons are fitted with a one-piece barrel, instead of a shrouded barrel. These barrels feature a recessed crown, to prevent any accuracy-degrading damage to the muzzle. The action was also reworked while keeping the leaf spring of the original design, incorporating a link between it and the hammer to reduce grit. This cut down on the number of total parts that comprise the action, and also omits the noticeable ledge that could be felt in the double-action trigger pull of the older examples, producing a more consistent trigger pull.

On top of the frame and barrel, the new Pythons also wear a new set of iron sights. The front sight is removable, like with the newer Cobra and King Cobra revolvers, which allows it to be easily swapped out if desired. The fully adjustable rear sight was largely redesigned to take up a smaller footprint on top of the frame, and as a result the newer Pythons have 30 percent more material in that section of the frame, resulting in overall greater strength of the part. Despite being able to fire both .357 Mag. and the more pleasant .38 Spl. cartridge, the new production Pythons have enough mass in the front to keep even .357 Mag. loads relatively tame.

ETASo, look at the muzzle. If it’s sleeved it’s the original; if it’s solid it’s the newer version. I have a 4” sleeved and 6” solid and there is no difference in function. The trigger “ledge” noted in the write up isn’t significant.
