You could get a King Cobra for about half the price. All the durability just not as smooth apparently.
It doesn't perform well with magnum loads
every smith I've talked to talks about having to re-time the things
It sure doesn't feel durable shooting it
Amazing. You post 20+ years worth of accumulated experience and get flamed for it by people who probably have never touched one before.All I can say is that Bubba is one with BS...Barbara Streisand.

Bubba, perhaps you were using poetic license but your claims are simply not valid unless you owned a lemon Python.

This is considered normal maintenance in a Colt revolver, which is not the case with any other brand. To get their famous "bank vault" cylinder locking and attendant accuracy, you have to accept a certain amount of maintenance; it goes with ownership of such a fine instrument.
I've often made the statement that a Colt is like a Ferrari; to get the gilt-edged performance, you have to accept that they will require more maintenance than a Ford pickup. Unlike gun owners, however, folks who own Italy's finest don't complain that they are more "delicate" than an F-150!
I've got two, a 3 1/2" and a 6". They're simply fantastic guns. The current "Classic" versions with the locks can't hold a candle to them.The top of the line Smith .357 is the model 27. Prior to the Model 27 this was the "registered magnum" produced in the '30's and would cost you at least as much as a Python. The Model 27 had a less costly service version that is called the Model 28.
Anyway, maybe you know; won't Colt work on the Python any more?
I'm not interested in flaming anyone

Glock dropped in a bucket of drano
What would happen to a pistol like the Glock if it was submerged in a container of drano (Drain Cleaner)?

Since Drano is safe for plastic and metal pipes, I think it would only dissolve the hair clog in the barrel.
However, in just a few minutes, a Glock fanboy will come by and post a link to a test where a Glock was put in a blender filled with Drano, sulfuric acid, Coca-Cola, piranha, and 2 pounds of industrial diamonds. A CAT D8 bulldozer was then dropped on it from 1000 feet. The owner picked up the Glock, chambered a 155mm HE round, hit a post-it note at 917 miles, and then proceeded to run 726,761 rounds of Wolf ammo coated with Gorilla Glue with no failures.
