We all know there's lots of things in the world that's not great these days. It's just the times we're living in. So, a little great news is always welcome to me.
Today, I finally had time to swing by my LGS and pick up my latest CZ/Colt Revolver. As the thread title indicates, it's one of the New Colt Python 4.25" Models.
This is my third CZ/Colt to purchase. But, just like the Anaconda and King Cobra Target, it's simply remarkable.
Chambers and throats are nice and polished. Coated Cast Bullets sized to .358" push thru the throats with a gentle push. All six offer the same resistance.
Barrel gap is .003" on all six chambers. The forcing cone barrel accepts the cast bullets and has about 1/10" freebore. Barrel slugged at .355" just like the King Cobra. Should be an excellent cast bullet gun.
Cylinder lock up is tighter than expected with no endshake.
As with most of my guns, a couple upgrades have commenced. Harrison Snake Sights have been installed and provide a huge improvement over factory sights.
Grips are ordered and will arrive in a few days.
For 40 years, I've wanted to add High Quality Colts to the stable. It took CZ to make this possible.
