Can you tell us about viper's action compared to KC and Python?

Python, Anaconda and a Diamondback.

Re: the Viper's action.

I own a blued Viper and a nickel Viper. The blued is very smooth, like a Diamondback. A real joy to shoot. For some reason the nickel gun is not as smooth; more like a MKIII.

The viper is a D frame like all the rest. It's essentially a Cobra with a 4 inch shrouded barrel. The action is identical to other D frames.

Never really tried to acquire the entire Snake line. I own Cobras and Diamondbacks currently. Have had others in the past, but have sold them off.

That right there fits me also. I'm an accumulator of various guns and not a collector. However I do kinda favor S&W's.

 

[SFCRandall]

Two Python's and an Agent (Cobra with a shorter grip). I would like to get others, starting with a Diamondback.

I have a Colt Detective Special that I assume is an undiscovered species of snake that will skyrocket in value once the biological classification of the revolver is studied and reclassified

I only own one snake gun from Colt, a six inch SS Anaconda. I like it, every bit as accurate as the S&W model 29 I used to own but honestly it is far less pleasant to shoot than the 29 was. The Anaconda has much more felt recoil. Lately I have been kicking the idea around about selling it to fund a S&W 629, or a Ruger Super Redhawk.

Speechless!

Though I've never specifically looked to collect the snakes, I have owned most of them at one time or another, including the Viper and the 22 Cobra.
Those I've missed include the Boa and the Combat Cobra. Both very difficult to find.
