>>95489The 2020 Python doesn't look that bad, the fit and finish isn't as deluxe and fine, but it's alright. The triggerpull is pretty decent, precision isn't bad.
It's not as good as the original Python in some ways, but in others it's actually better, and for $1400 it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying an original Python.
HOWEVER, there are some problems.
First is that some people have received their gun and taken it out of the box and noticed that the muzzle is damaged, dinged like someone dropped it on a concrete floor or something. Doesn't seem like it would affect accuracy, but it's not acceptable for $1400 gun.
The other is the lockwork, turns out what happens after you shoot it for a bit is that the cylinder hand stops indexing, you can pull the trigger repeatedly and the hammer will cock and drop over and over, but the cylinder won't index the next chamber. The culprit for this turns out to be one of the springs, it stops properly driving the cylinder hand like it should, eventually it starts to again but it'll keep happening. This would actually be a pretty simple problem to solve, just replace the spring and the gun should work just fine, and then be a pretty nice revolver (assuming you don't have a dinged muzzle), issue is that A), this seems to be a common problem, suggesting that the manufacture of this spring was done incorrectly, and B), is still unacceptable for a $1400 gun.
You're not getting a lazy spring or a dinged muzzle for guns at half or less of the price from Ruger or Smith & Wesson, but that's not even that surprising. Colt is what it is these days.
