If you see one, buy it. The vast majority had 6" barrels since they whole point was to create a better gun for precision shooting competitions.

Before the after-market barrels came on the scene, it was acknowledged by many PPC shooters that the rifling of the Python barrel provided better accuracy over the S&W barrels. But unfortunately, the Colt frame and action was both less rugged and less easily tuned than the S&Ws. Once the...
