What's so special about the Python?

[Jose]

So I've always heard about how prized the Colt Python is but I have no idea why. So what gives?

[03trubluGT]

Absolute trash.

Get a S&W 686....

Think of them as an affordable Korth or Janz.

I have never heard of a Janz before. Care to elaborate?

[Craizie]

It was designed by god herself and handed down to mother fuckin' Colt.

Hand made German revolvers that command a high price tag just like Korth.

Also available in .500 Smith and Wesson

Pythons are awesome because Rick Grimes uses one.

Oh great; one more nearly unobtainable revolver for me to lust after and buy. Do the have a US distributor that you know of? If they do I hope they are not as flaky as Korth USA.

Good write up although I'm not sure if it might have been a little unbiased. I probably should have done some Google searching before posting up but I also wanted to hear what other's on here had to say about it.

I've never shot a Python before but now I want to just to see what all the hype is about. At CJ's last range GTG I shot someone's Dan Wesson. It was only a .22 LR but GD that was the smoothest revolver trigger I've ever had a chance to shoot. I'm certain the bigger caliber DW's are no different and they deserve their hype as well. It's made my list of guns I would love to own now.

Jose, I've never shot one, but I did finger fuck one a little one day, and It was a marked difference in craftsmanship feel vs. my smiths.

I want one, but the list of guns that I want only to never/rarely fire is lengthy, so saying I want one doesn't speak to much

LMAO! You and me both on having a "realistic" list. Reading that article that DOHCTR shared, I didn't know they made Python's in a small barrel before. It's on a short list of revolvers I would love to own, like a Gemini Custom Ruger.

I'll own a 6" python one of these days

If you want a Korth you fly to Germany to them, commision it, and import it yourself on a form 6. Same with Janz.

I looked into doing it that way but time along with other issues will not permit it. A form 6 only allows you to to import a gun every now and then and there are significant restrictions to being able to purchase the firearm while over there. The Janz comes the way I have been trying to order the Korth. I may just buy a new Janz and look for a used Korth. Thanks for the tip by the way.
