Is this your first time on the internetThe haters need to move on..
I'm brand new here so I will be careful. Colt has tried to bring back a icon that wasn't cost effective to those who want one and can't afford it. I have a new reproduction Gold Cup series 70 which has been impeccable. I also recently purchased a new King Cobra Target which hasn't had any issues through 250 rounds. The trigger on it is simply incredible. I have a old cobra which trigger is simply not as nice as the new one. This new Python is reengineered and may have a issue. Colt will fix this problem if there is one I can assure you. Seems we have a Colt hater here in the wood pile. I simply say to him don't buy the piece of crap if you don't want. I'm a Glock and polymer pistol hater myself. Can't stand striker fired pistols. However there are a lot of shooters who love them. I'm happy for them and hope the market always moves forward for them. I guarentee you there will be issues with a lot of them as they are produced. It's natural. The companies producing them most generally fix the issues as they move along. Either that or go out of business. Colt employees are UAW union members. They make on the average $22000 more a year than Ruger Employees. Hard to sell guns cheaper when labor expenses are higher. I applaud Colt for bringing back icons. I hope they do well and continue making a profit. I do t think for a second Colt is making junk. The haters need to move on..
How does the outlined failure amount to “total junk?” Just curious.
I seriously do not understand this mentality. I am by no means wealthy, and I have to stretch my dollars. But I appreciate American craftsmanship. When I look at something, I can see how much labor is in it. And that labor has value to me. I don't get how folks can expect hand fit quality for stamped sheet metal prices.I don't think the craftsmen are gone. I think the general public is just unwilling to pay for it. In this very context, everybody wants a Python made just like the originals but they don't want to pay more for it.
I said it before and it's tracking like I thought when I compared this to the Remington R51. So far the Python is a shiny expensive revolver equivalent to the R51. That makes me sad because I really wanted to buy one if they were good.
First of all, I'd bet most who are plunking down the cash (or credit card) for a modestly-priced revolver know full what they're getting into, and have decided they can afford this product.When they put out complete garbage, and have the audacity to slap a $1.5K price tag on it, what do you want me to do, defend them for it like you are? Why do you think these guys are so above harsh criticism, when they put trash like this on the market? Are you related to them?
What was "excruciating" about that video was the disaster of a gun in it. But instead you want to mock the messenger because of his accent. Seriously? I own Colt's, Ruger's, and S&W's. A LOT of them. I'm not a fanboy of any of them. When a gun, any gun is crap, I'm going to say it's crap, period. If you want it all sweet and sugar coated, you're talking to the wrong guy. I hate to see people getting screwed like this.... And so should you. There is absolutely no reason for it.
Unforeseen delayed problems can develop in any design over time, prompting a recall. It happens occasionally. But come on, shipping guns out the door that are so shoddily manufactured, they can't even open the cylinder on them. Who is running the show over there, Mr. MaGoo? And I don't take anymore "pleasure" in calling them on the garbage they're putting out, than their customers do buying it.
Sigh. Yes, yes .. you are.I'm not "hating" on Colt.
I agree. It's the Walmart mentality. People are cheap and typically would rather have 1000 pieces of crap than 20 of higher quality.I seriously do not understand this mentality.

Motion pictures are being made for millions and millions of dollars that are crap....... Don't even get me started on popular music.
By most accounts I've seen thus far, the new Python is being favorably received and viewed by its buyers. Almost all accounts of the new revolver attest to its fit, finish and trigger. Those who've shot them, have been impressed by the action and accuracy, the reports of a few not withstanding.
I just think there's an awful lot of bellyaching from folks who didn't buy one (and probably wouldn't have anyway).
Probably the ones who bought one before the internet went nuts about what crap they are. Ya know, before people like yourself got it stuck in their craw.Why would anyone buy anything that thus far has shown problems? They would have to be nuts. The people who have can only hope theirs works, and continues to. That's not something that should be in your head after you drop $1,500.00 on a gun...... Any gun. Let alone one that has up until now, had a reputation for quality.
I didn't want one at first, but all the negative hype over a couple of guns with a problem now makes me want to try one for myself.

This is an interesting notion and I think there is a lot to it. I have 16 employees and I am older than most of them. What I hear from them is complaints that everything is so expensive, they have student loan debt, and they can't afford anything. Meanwhile, I am willing to pay them about as much overtime as they are willing to work at time and a half. So these folks have the potential to earn anywhere from $25 to $41 per hour for anything over 40 hours depending on their pay rate. I have a few employees who take advantage and earn extra money. However the ones I hear complaining that they can't afford anything and they are in debt consistently work their 40 hours, or a very minimal amount of overtime, and then they go home. I am totally baffled, because most of them don't have kids.I agree. It's the Walmart mentality. People are cheap and typically would rather have 1000 pieces of crap than 20 of higher quality.
After handling a B. Searcy & Co Rifle I'm not sure all craftsmen are gone. I simply think people are unwilling to pay the freight.
I'm not saying it's H&H quality but it ain't H&H price either.
